Incredible! She just gave a lengthy interview that was taped last week and she looked great. She was very sharp and quick.
In spite of her age, her death apparently was unexpected.

Over the past decade or so, he was doing the stand up comedy circuit. I went to see him a few years back mostly because being of the 'Screech generation', I thought it would be a nostalgic trip. It's surprising to admit (even for me), that he was actually one of the funniest and best comics I've ever seen. |

And so many other memorable roles. I will never forget him in Evening Shade, and NCIS. A great, talented actor.

I guess this man got to know his limitations.
I liked him in "Magnum Force," too. |

Even sadder that he - like Andy Kaufman - had such lung cancer and never smoked. I didn't like Kaufman much, and never saw a show with this Screech guy, but still sad.
My own mom died of lung cancer but hadn't smoked in like 55 years; however, my dad was a super-heavy Camels smoker/WW2, so second-hand smoke could've been a factor (he died of emphysema).
