I'm very sure almost anyone who watches great fun in movies like Star Wars or loves a great heartily felt bust of laughter knows these two actors I'm wanting to talk about.....
And if you never heard of either one, I do hope you will enjoy my look at their powerful parts of entertaining us even if for just a for a small moment.
Hello to fans of comedy and sci-fi fans Star Wars as well,
I know that when we lose a very close friend to any form of death it is very troubling. It can be ever so much harder when it's someone close to you like family you take it even worst than just as a friend, still it wounds you all the same doesn't it though? Well for me it does, because just the other day I had found out that the comedy actor Johnathan Winters had passed away from what at first I didn't know only that M.E.TV (Memorable Entertain Television) was playing his iconic episode of the Twilight Zone known as title wise " A GAME OF POOL" in which he happen to play a character called James Howard Brown a pool player whose friends called him "FATS BROWN" as he grew into being a legendary pool player, Jack Kulgman plays Jessie Cardiff a down his luck pool player who wishes for ONE GAME with FATS on Randoff street in Chicago when he turns around and sees the now deceased famed legend staring back at him.
Just before FATS is about to vanish Jessie wants to know what FATS sizable stake is in any game of pool, it turns out the stake is life or death since FATS can't spend money (or can he) more on that in a minute. They end up playing fourteen rack up (the object being whomever get to three hundred points during all fourteen tries will be the winner the catch being Cardiff's own will is so arrogant in wanting to be the top dog of legendary pool hustling, that he doesn't see what FATS goal really is in this stakes game of "Life or Death" The story ends with Cardiff wining and at some point passing away, while FATS happen to be free his cruse so he decided to go fishing as the story goes.....When I first saw the Twilight Zone , I don't think I ever saw this one or if I did I just can't recall. Although I know when I first saw him animated, (what am I am talking about? as a comedian wasn't he always animated in some sort or other!) no what I am at is when he was drawn as a cartoon character of himself was when Hanna Barebra Scooby Doo movies which ran from September of "72- (the almighty year that I came into being, weather I'm human or not is still to be......oppps, did I just tell the whole world I'm?, oh, never mind.....) still it was during that year that Scoob and his human friends had their second set of installments. Which featured him and the gang meeting all time big stars, it just so happen that Johnathan starred as himself and his comic character of Maude Frickett that he came up with to fool the host of the shows he was interviewed on from as far back as nineteen sixties. The name of that Scooby Doo movies was
"Ficka Fracas". I'm pretty sure I saw this
along with "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" toon in the fall of 1978, along with this one on weekdays in the mornings and later the next year in the afternoons on Channel 11 KSTW aired from Seattle Washington. Back to Winters though I'm sure he did on and off comedy bits throughout the latter nineteen seventies, there was a brief walk on role by Robin Williams as a alien known as MORK in the comedy called "HAPPY DAYS" that lead the producers of that series to make a series for Williams character in the fall of "78". The new series was known as MORK & MINDY, in it the alien Mork would experience every thing we hapless humans do and by the end of every episode he would call his leader Orson and tell him of what his intake as an outsider from off planet is. The show lasted till the summer of nineteen eighty two. By the series end the orkan from the planet Ork had a lifetime of reflection, including by the final season our man Winters,
comes on board as Mork's son Mearth. Just five days ago, the man who could make one laugh and smile (that is every comedian's dream) weather on stage or on the screen big or mostly as I have detailed his work the small one he will be missed greatly. He was eighty seven and past of natural causes.
Still we need to honor the very first Star Wars film sub titled "A NEW HOPE" for the actor Richard Leparmentier whom was the earliest person's to question, a certain man's way to a old forgotten religion as his character a young Empire Admiral, known as Motti is witness to that very power
, has now at the age of sixty six truly has met the FORCE. He like Winters passed away of natural causes, while visiting his family in Austin Texas.Richard left for the great Death Star in the sky just yesterday.
