Re: \"kinda famous\" people you miss
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Whatever, guys, I got it perfectly with the first response. JT Walsh isn't too famous, and just try to watch Pleasantville or A Few Good Men or something without wishing that guy was still around. [/ QUOTE ] You were doing so well and then you mentioned those two movies. Let's try again: The Grifters and Sling Blade. [/ QUOTE ] The Big Picture

Re: \"kinda famous\" people you miss
[ QUOTE ]
I can see Freddie Mercury being famous... but not quite icon status. [/ QUOTE ] Really, because I think he is one of our definitive rock star "icons". And even if a lot of people don't know who Lenny Bruce is, his place at the pinnacle of his profession, as one of its very best and most influential, I think almost by definition makes him not just "kinda" famous. I grant that I know who a hell of a lot more people are than most people do, but when I think "kinda famous", I think... Peter Tomarken, not Lenny Bruce.

Re: \"kinda famous\" people you miss
My final nomination is Carol O'conner.... Of course older folks remember him as Archie Bunker. No one could pull the loveable dumb bigot off like he did. Yes, he was famous, ecspecially in the late 70s, but damn, that show did not air long enuff..... I guess I should be glad it never "jumped the shark".
