I remember watching Roy Clark on "Hee Haw" with my folks as a kid. Also on "Beverly Hillbillies" reruns where he was "Cousin Roy". He always made me smile. My favorite Roy Clark song is "Thank God And Greyhound" where he tells a woman who wronged him: "Thank God and Greyhound you're gone". A funny man. A talented singer and banjo & guitar player. RIP Roy Clark.

Gloria Katz, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter who partnered with her husband, Willard Huyck, on the scripts for the George Lucas classics American Graffiti and Star Wars, has died. She was 76.

  Ken Berry, Star of 'F Troop' and 'Mama's Family,' Dies at 85 The song-and dance-man, who received a career boost from Leonard Nimoy, also toplined the 'Andy Griffith Show' spinoff 'Mayberry R.F.D.' Ken Berry, the rubber-legged actor who delighted TV viewers as the blundering Capt. Wilton Parmenter on F Troop and as the accident-prone Vinton Harper on Mama's Family, has died. He was 85. Berry, an agile song-and-dance man who was encouraged in show business by his U.S. Army sergeant, future Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy, died Saturday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, his ex-wife, actress Jackie Joseph-Lawrence, told The Hollywood Reporter. The amiable Berry also was known for starring as town councilor Sam Jones on Mayberry R.F.D., the spinoff of The Andy Griffith Show that was created by CBS after Griffith exited the series — then the No. 1 show in the ratings — after its eighth and final season. Berry came to fame for portraying the greenhorn Captain Parmenter on ABC's F Troop, which aired for only two seasons (65 episodes from September 1965 through April 1967) but lived on in syndication for decades. A private, Parmenter was promoted to take command of Fort Courage in Kansas after his sneeze (which sounded like "Charge!") propelled Union troops to an inspirational victory over the Confederates. |
