I'm starting to get how my folks felt when some obscure actor from the 30s died.

 

[Tim Walker]

Yes, seigezunt, such obituaries are a reminder that the world of your youth is fading away.

What's sad to think about is that everyone wants to be remembered but even the most well known of people are usually forgotten within thirty years. People who've been written about, led a country, a great leader in war, etc... MAY be remembered for longer but that's no guarantee and what is fame anyway? So fleeting, so meaningless

But he is dead and people do forget you when somebody else comes along!

I love that line. Meyer added it at the last minute on set. It was his little sentiment to the fans that would miss Spock. Then they went and filmed the tube on the surface and told us exactly what would happen!

I find that line hilarious, because McCoy is the one carrying Spock's consciousness at the time. It even ties in with Spock's line ("remember...") during the katra transfer. It might be the first sign of Spock overriding McCoy as we saw in Star Trek III.

Bob Morrisey died in December last year of Alzheimers, age 71. He played 'Strom' in Star Trek Enterprise, episode 'Stigma'. Also played a Xindi character. Brings Enterprise passings to 13.

No wonder or surprise about this death; she'd been battling cancer for a while. A very sad end for her.

I watched her old horror movie, "The Velvet Vampire," in her honor the other night.

Celeste lived a great life and contributed a lot to the better well-being of so many others. No sad end.

Actor James Greene who appeared in TNG, DS9 and Voyager has died at age 91. His latest credit was in 2018. So it seems he had a full life working right up until the present.

Thanks for this! You must really follow the hollywood world to have caught this.

I just found that Charles Palmer passed away in 1987, date unknown, cause unknown. He played an unnamed litter bearer in the TOS episode 'Amok Time'. This brings passings within TOS to 274.

I just caught this. I remember him from an episode of "Cold Case" (the episode actually had quite half a dozen Trek guest stars in it) and as the old-timey city councilman in several episodes of "Parks & Rec". There was a funny scene in one episode where he was sleeping, someone nudges him awake, and he muttered "Iwo Jima".

In other news, last month, we also lost John D.F. Black, who wrote "The Naked Time". (He also had story credits on "The Naked Now" and "Justice", but we'll give him a pass for those).

A litter bearer? Are you saying that the Vulcans have dustbin men?
