    Today we sail
    On the Solar Rail
    For there's much we just don't know
    So farewell with a kiss
    Then it's fast for the mist
    Till we're sleeping in the cold below

    Addams Family Actor Felix Silla, Who Played Cousin Itt, Dead at 84

    Felix Silla, who was known for playing Cousin Itt on The Addams Family and an Ewok in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, has died. He was 84.

    The actor and stuntman died Friday after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to a tweet from his friend and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century costar Gil Gerard. Silla is survived by his wife Sue, whom he married in 1965, and their two children.

    "Felix died just a few hours ago and the only good I can draw from his passing is that he didn't suffer any longer," Gerard wrote on Friday. "I will miss him terribly, especially the great time we had at our panels. Just him telling me to go 'F' myself."

    Silla was introduced as Cousin Itt, the mumbling hair-covered relative of the titular spooky family, on the 20th episode of The Addams Family, which ran from 1964 to 1966. He appeared in 17 episodes of the beloved sitcom.

    Silla also played roles in Bonanza, The Monkees, H.R. Pufnstuf, Bewitched, Battlestar Gallactica, Mork & Mindy, The Dukes of Hazzard, Star Trek and Married... with Children. In addition, the star appeared in such movies as Planet of the Apes, Spaceballs and Batman Returns, also doing stunts in films like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Poltergeist as well as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

    "These two guys sat at a table," he recalled of getting his first role to The Los Angeles Times in 2014. "They take one look at me and say, 'You got the job.' And I say, 'That's it? Don't I even need to audition?' They say, 'No, just show up on Monday.' "

    Before making it in Hollywood, Silla was born in Roccacasale, Italy, in 1937.

    He performed on tour with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in his youth. In recent years, he's become a staple at fan conventions in Las Vegas, where he moved in 2003.

    She was awesome. I could never get through Moonstruck, but my wife made me watch Steel Magnolias with her, and Olympia Dukakis was wonderful in that.

    Norman Lloyd, 'Saboteur' and 'St. Elsewhere' Star, Dead at 106

    Rest in peace, Norman Lloyd. The actor, producer and director died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. He was 106.

    Lloyd was best known for his role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1942 film Saboteur; his character tumbled to his death from the top of the Statue of Liberty in the film's conclusion. He also starred ​as Dr. Daniel Auschlander on NBC’s 1980s hospital drama St. Elsewhere.

    The performer was born in 1914 in Jersey City, New Jersey, and raised in Brooklyn. After childhood singing and dancing classes, he started his career at Le Galienne’s Civic Repertory Theater in 1932. He then joined the original company of the Orson Welles-John Houseman Mercury Theater.

    In addition to his work with Hitchcock, which included a producing credit on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, an executive producing credit on Hitchcock Hour and directing and acting credits on several episodes of each series -- Lloyd collaborated with Hollywood legends like Charlie Chaplin, Bertolt Brecht and Jean Renoir.

    He produced and directed TV from the 1960s to the early 1980s, including Columbo and The Name of the Game. He was nominated for an Emmy in 1974 for Outstanding Special -- Comedy or Drama for Steambath, and helmed stage adaptations for TV like Clifford Odets’ Awake and Sing in 1972 and the Philemon in 1976.

    Lloyd made guest appearances on TV shows Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wings and The Practice, and appeared in films like The Green Years (1946), Anthony Mann’s The Black Book (1949), Losey’s remake of M (1951), Robert Wise’s Audrey Rose (1977), Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence (1993), The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000) and In Her Shoes (2005).

    More recently, he appeared on Modern Family in 2010, and in Amy Schumer 2015 film Trainwreck, he played a friend of her father's in a nursing home.

    Lloyd’s autobiography, Stages, was published in 1993, and he was the subject of a Matthew Sussman-directed documentary, Who Is Norman Lloyd?, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.

    He was married to Broadway actress Peggy Craven Lloyd for 75 years. She died in 2011 at age 98. Lloyd is survived by two children.

    And speaking of sports, do near-deaths count?

    John Tavares, Habs-Leafs playoff game last night.

    He's been released from hospital but is out indefinitely. Based on the fencing response he had, I'd guess bad concussion. But did it ever look worse, especially when they try to get him up.
