It was surprising to note his screenings on T CM this past Tuesday only to then read of his passing the day before. Happy Thanksgiving, yanceycravat!! |

It happens from time to time that TCM will air a movie showcasing someone who passed away that week. It seems to me in the past TCM would air some kind of disclaimer indicating the movie had been scheduled before their passing but they haven't done that in years.

Sad news about Earl Holliman's passing. My father always liked him.
He played with Dean Martin and John Wayne in THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER 1965.
