Anyway, re: Karl Malden, great, great actor. I would recommend three movies he did with Marlon Brando: A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, and One-Eyed Jacks

Shared the screen with Brando and more than held his own. :applaud:[/list:u] Edit: And he was in my all-time favorite poker playing movie, The Cincinnatti Kid Great movie. Along with Malden you've got Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Rip Torn, and Ann-Margaret. :thumbsup:

Former quarterback Steve McNair, 36, is found with a fatal gunshot wound in Nashville.

Model and jewelry designer Nanami Katsuno died of lung cancer early on Tuesday, July 7. Also known just as NANAMI, she was only 29 years old.

Nanami was the daughter of actor Hiroshi Katsuno (59) and talento Kathy Nakajima (57). Nakajima announced on her own blog that Nanami had been diagnosed with lung cancer back in February, despite not smoking at all. She fought against the illness for the past five months before passing away at about 12:20am on Tuesday.

Nanami's death came less than a year after she married a hip-hop dancer (29) last November. The two did not have any children.

RIP Nanami :shamefulcry:

Police: McNair girlfriend behind murder-suicide
July 8, 2009

By LUCAS L. JOHNSON Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) -- Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's(notes) 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.

They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends led detectives to conclude she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.

Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.

At one point, Kazemi told an associate that her "personal life was all screwed up," Police Chief Ronal Serpas said. She had mounting debts and had been unable to sell her car. Her roommate was moving, which would have doubled her rent.

"We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly," Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.

Serpas said police believe McNair was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.

McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, was shot at a condo he rented with another man. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.

Kazemi's family told reporters that the woman was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife of 12 years that she was preparing to sell her furniture and move in with him.

But associate Mike Mu, who has worked with McNair's charitable association for years, said McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair, "didn't know who this girl is." No records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.

Two days before the shooting, police stopped Kazemi driving the Escalade sport utility vehicle that McNair gave her for her birthday in May.

According to an arrest affidavit, Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and alcohol on her breath. She refused a breath test and told an officer "she was not drunk, she was high." She was charged with DUI. McNair was with her but not charged. He later made her bail.

Walter Cronkite Dead at 92NEW YORK – Walter Cronkite, the premier TV anchorman of the networks' golden age who reported a tumultuous time with reassuring authority and came to be called "the most trusted man in America," has died. He was 92.

CBS vice president Linda Mason says Cronkite died at 7:42 p.m. Friday with his family by his side at his home in New York after a long illness.

He was the face of the "CBS Evening News" from 1962 to 1981, when stories ranged from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to racial and anti-war riots, Watergate and the Iranian hostage crisis. :shamefulcry:

I guess my age is showing, but most of the "journalists" that are on the news now should watch videos of Walter Cronkite and see what a real professional is all about. RIP, Walter. [/list:u]

Mine too, I guess. This is an ending of a news era.

I saw him out sailing his boat in Martha's Vineyard once. I wont say how many years ago 20!!

America's other Uncle Walt.

Walt Disney in no little way shaped a couple of generations of American children.

And Walter Cronkite kept a couple of generations of American adults in touch with who we were and what we were supposed to be.

I'll say.

If integrity had a name, it was Walter Cronkite.

Condolences to his friends and family.

Mr. Cronkite was a legend. RIP Walter!
"And that's the way it is."

This news really hits home as Walter Kronkite's legacy has had a direct affect and impact on the lives of me and mine. My condolences are tendered to his family for their loss but I shed NO tears for him. I count his death, along with the recent death of Robert McNamara, in my "win" column; Yes that's how personal it is to me.

Taco Bell ad star Gidget the Chihuahua dies at 15

That's a nice long life for a dog.

Hope he lived a comfortable life not just stuck in a kennel all the time. :sweat:

I feel the same way about this dog like you feel about Cronkite.

I was younger when the ads came out and thought the dog ads were somewhat funny. Now that I'm older and I look back those ads were like a cultural stereotype. :shakehead:
