R.I.P Cicely Tyson

 Cicely Tyson is a Kennedy Center Honoree actress who passed away at the age of 96. I don't know why I lead off with that statement. It was the one I chose but there are many choices to introduce this award winning actress. Television Hall of Fame Member,  Tony Award winning, Peabody Award winning, Academy Award winning, and three time Emmy Award winning actress would also work. 

Here she is being presented an honorary Oscar from Whoopi Goldberg...

Her award winning works include The Trip to Bountiful, The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Interesting trivia she was married to jazz great Miles Davis for about seven years.

Tyson will be missed by her friends, family and fans.

Farewell Mary Ann

 Dawn Wells passed away on December 30, 2021. She was best known for her role as Mary Ann Summers in the 60s sitcom Gilligan's Island. 

A clip from that show...

She was a beauty queen being named Miss Nevada in 1959.  She appeared in several shows before and after her years on the island. However nothing came close to the success, fame, or number of episodes that her role of being lost on the island would bring.  

She was a sex symbol too as "Mary Ann or Ginger" was a question many men pondered. 

She will be missed by her fans, friends and family may she rest in peace.
