Makes me really regret not going to Star Wars Celebration this year. He was set for another fan convention this weekend. His booth was already set up. But rather than take it down, they turned it into a tribute table with a book for fans to sign.

Doris Day, who had more influence on pop culture than we could ever know.

Tim Conway set the bar high for comedic actors. His slow man skits on The Carrol Burnett shows have still held up to anything created today.
