      Yes, making two videos giving everyone the proper recognition, would undoubtedly been a better idea, than relegating so many to “a side note” of honorable mention, at the very end of the video. I am sure he didn’t realize until video was completed, that so many important celebrities were added as honorable mention at the very end. It would have been so much better to break it down to two videos or even now, to redo the honorable mention celebrities at the end, doing another video on this important group. It is never to late for something as important as that. So many we loved & had such a long & distinguished career. The rest of the video was excellent though( you always do an amazing job) but as everyone has duly noted, another video needs to be done on those relegated to “HONORABLE MENTION”, showing these extraordinary( dearly loved!!!) celebrities, the important respect, due them! Take Care & thanks for this video, nonetheless!♥️

    Stephen Sondheim, the revered composer and lyricist behind some of Broadway’s most popular musicals, died 11/26/21 at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut. He was 91. Sondheim was universally considered to be one of the most influential figures in American musical theater. He wrote the lyrics to West Side Story and Gypsy, which opened in 1957 and 1959, respectively. Across his decades-long career, he won eight Grammy Awards, nine Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2015, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Possibly the greatest composer and lyricist who ever lived. He will be sadly missed.

      I started getting interested in the way he saw the world,people,
      politics and his other fascinating and comical world views. To _me_ he was a smart man that sometimes put his foot in his mouth , but he was honest with his feelings and views I felt. It saddened me that he became so sick and passed away.

    Ron Popeil who's an inventor, world renowned TV Info commercial sponsor and founder of Ronco products has died at the age of 86 on 7/28/21. His famous lines include "Set it and Forget it". "It slices! it dices!" and "Wait there's more" were catch phrases for hundreds of his products sold over the last 70 years which include the Chop-O-Matic, Veg -O- Matic. Dial -O- Matic or anything just ending in O-Matic , Electric Food Dehydrator, Egg Shell Scrambler, Mr. Microphone, The Smokeless Ashtray, Showtime Rotisserie The Pocket Fisherman and my personal favorite "Hair in a Can." while the list goes on . "Saturday Night Live" loved spoofing him and Ron is a true Icon in American Pop Culture. I can just picture him right now on a Cloud in Heaven doing his latest demonstration of a new product. I just hope I can afford the shipping and handling to get it sent to me. RIP

    Arlene Dahl, the actress whose charm and striking red hair shone in such Technicolor movies of the 1950s as “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and “Three Little Words,” died on 11/29/21 at the age of 96. When her movie career ended, Dahl remained prominent in television, including a three-year stint in the soap opera “One Life to Live” in the mid 1980s. Arlene Dahl later in life became a noted author, beauty expert, astrologist, and fashion and cosmetics entrepreneur. One of her former six husbands was Fernando Lamas and she's the mother of actor Lorenzo Lamas. She was one of the last remaining stars from the Golden Age of Cinema. She will be sadly missed.

      You dont "contract" sepsis ... and becoming septic in 2018 really has nothing to do with dying in 2021. Just saying... and by the way, as a nurse who knows the covid numbers are stretched and misleading ... I'm not saying this in support of the COD being covid related. I'm just saying sepsis isn't something you "catch" and Larry Kings sepsis had to be resolved... a person could not live 3 years in a septic state.

      @@karenrogers3325, forgive me, the word I should have used is “developed.” My son developed several serious infections at 17 months of age having had neurosurgery. Infectious disease doctors had to step in and with the help of the neurosurgery team saved his life. As a nurse you know this is just one of the many dangers of one have neurosurgery.
      My son and I spent the next THREE years being admitted in and out of the hospital. Serious infections like sepsis, MRSA, and many others, can lie dormant. He battled his for several years. And, in the future if he gets another surgery, or serious injury (I pray to God this doesn’t happen) this can raise its ugly head again.
