There are going to be a lot of pop culture icon's dying this year. The first round of tv stars from the 50's and 60's are just getting up in years. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

She starred in that classic episode from The Twilight Zone series where she was the beautiful woman who wanted to change her looks to look like everyone else. I think it was called "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder" As a kid I was creeped out by it..lol RIP Donna Douglas | |
