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 Obvious Connectuions To Our Beloved Genre , As Those Folks Will Tend To Get A Solo Thread , Admittedly..." omnibus thread .
Directly , Cooper played Perry White in the Salkind/Reeve series of Superman movies , and , as per Wikipedia , about the last thing he did in the directing of episodic TV series that occupied much of his later working years were episodes of the Salkind Superboy series...
Cooper also starred in the CBS series Hennessy ( Probably the subject of a couple Dell FOUR COLOR COMICS issues anyway , wasn't it ????????? ) , enthused over by our Cmdr. Benson , and another B&W-era series , The People's Choice .

Louise Lasser has died.
She was in a few of Woody Allen's early movies. My favorite was Take the Money and Run. Hie character was so smitten with her that he had almost given up the idea of stealing her purse.
Irritatingly, I saw a couple of headlines describing Louise Lasser as "Woody Allen's wife", as if she didn't have an identity and career of her own.
Definitely. I didn't even know she was ever married to Allen, and it's not important that she was. Headlines like that should be a firing offense.
