The death of former child actor Jackie Cooper ( not to be confused with the , somewhat less fortunate as an adult and , infamously , ripped off by his parents Jackie Coogan ) inspires me to start a " Celebrity Deaths - That , Um , Don't Have The Most
As is my usual habit, here’s something off-topic to function as SPOILER SPACE. The pictured fellow is the late, great Richard Kiel (at one point, he was one of Hollywood’s go-to guys when they needed a really large, imposing guy who didn’t need to b

In previous years, this was a memory box so we didn't miss any good nominations for the Cappies. With the Cappies hypertimed away, that doesn't mean we have to discontinue these threads. I've always liked going back at the end of the year and seeing
