Celebrity Deaths Today

Great actress Jean Simmons died at 80 of lung cancer, on January 22.

James Mitchell, who played Palmer Cortlandt on All My Children died at age 89 on January 22.

Jean was in so many great movies, and was even on Star Trek: The Next Generation once. She was in Guys And Dolls, The Robe, Heidi, Elmer Gantry, and tons more.

Palmer had his own distinctive career well before a soap opera, as well.

I do not know. I do not watch soaps. His wikipedia page or IMDB might tell.

UGH! I just heard on national news. Trapper John M.D. sad I don't like hearing about the passing of folks I grew up watching and listening to. It bums me out sometimes.

These are my favorite movies my Ms.Simmons. She really had a grand film career... nice body of work, may she Rest In Peace.

Great Expectations (1946)
Black Narcissus (1947)
The Robe (1953)
Désirée (1954)
Guys and Dolls (1955)
The Big Country (1958)
This Earth Is Mine (1959)
Elmer Gantry (1960)
Spartacus (1960)
The Thorn Birds (TV, 1983)


I remember Mr. Roberts from Bonanza but he later in his career he played a doc on "Trapper John". Pretty interesting guy.....
