Saddened to hear of the passing of Actress Barbara Rush (1927-2024)
Barbara Rush, a popular leading lady in the 1950 and 1960’s has died. She was 97.
Rush died on Easter Sunday.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Spotted in a play at the Pasadena Playhouse, Rush was given a contract at Paramount Studios in 1950 and made her film debut that same year with a small role in “The Goldbergs.”
Rush went on to appear in a wide range of films like “Captain Lightfooot” Magnificent Obsession,” “World in My Corner” “When Worlds Collide” “Hombre,” and the 3-D science-fiction classic “It Came From Outer Space,” for which she received a Golden Globe for most promising newcomer.
Other film credits included “Bigger Than Life”; “The Young Lions,” “The Young Philadelphians,” “Come Blow Your Horn” and the Rat Pack spoof “Robin and the Seven Hoods,”
Rush, who had made TV guest appearances for years, in such series as “Peyton Place,” “All My Children,” “The New Dick Van Dyke Show,“ “7th Heaven,” “The Bionic Woman” and “Batman.”
Her first play was the road company version of “Forty Carats,” a comedy that had been a hit in New York.
”She went on to appear in such tours as “Same Time, Next Year,” “Father’s Day,” “Steel Magnolias” and her solo show, “A Woman of Independent Means.”
Born in Denver on Jan 4,1927 Rush spent her first 10 years on the move while her father, a mining company lawyer, was assigned from town to town. The family finally settled in Santa Barbara, California, where young Barbara played a mythical dryad in a school play and fell in love with acting.
Rush was married and divorced three times — to screen star Jeffrey Hunter, Hollywood publicity executive Warren Cowan and sculptor James Gruzalski.
My Condolences to her Family Members and Friends

Sad to hear of the passing of Comedian Richard Lewis (1947-2024)
Richard Lewis, an acclaimed comedian known for exploring his neuroses in frantic, stream-of-consciousness diatribes while dressed in all-black, leading to his nickname “The Prince of Pain,” has died.
He was 76.
He died at his home in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack.
A regular performer in clubs and on late-night TV for decades, Lewis also starred in the ABC series “Anything But Love” and in “Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men In Tights.” He re-introduced himself to a new generation opposite Larry David in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,”
Comedy Central named Lewis one of the top 50 stand-up comedians of all time and he earned a berth in GQ magazine’s list of the “20th Century’s Most Influential Humorists.” He lent his humor for charity causes, including Comic Relief and Comedy Gives Back.
Richard Philip Lewis was born on June 29,1947 in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Englewood, New Jersey. Following his graduation from The Ohio State University in 1969, Lewis began a stand-up career, honing his craft on the circuit with other contemporaries also just starting out like Jay Leno, Freddie Prinze and Billy Crystal.
After getting sober from drugs and alcohol in 1994, Lewis put out his 2008 memoir, “The Other Great Depression” and “Reflections from Hell.”
He had a cameo in “Leaving Las Vegas,” which led to his first major dramatic role as Jimmy Epstein, an addict fighting for his life in the indie film, “Drunks.” He played Don Rickles’ son on one season of “Daddy Dearest” and a rabbi on “7th Heaven.”
He is survived by his wife, Joyce Lapinsky.
My Condolences to his Family Members and Friends.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Singer,Songwriter Melanie (1947-2024)
Melanie, the singer-songwriter who rose through the New York folk scene, performed at Woodstock and had a series of 1970s hits including the enduring cultural phenomenon “Brand New Key,” has died.
She was 76 years old.
The cause of death was not immediately revealed.
With a voice that could shift from high-pitched and coy to a deep soulful rasp, Melanie wrote and sang hits including “Look What They’ve Done to My Song Ma” and “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain).”
She was best known for “Brand New Key,” a song from her 1971 album “Gather Me.”
Born Melanie Safka, on Feb 3,1947 she was the daughter of a jazz singer, in Queens, New York, she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and performed in the coffee houses of Greenwich Village and other New York folk hubs.
She released her self-titled debut album in 1969, and had hit songs in Europe with “Bobo’s Party” and “Beautiful People.”
That summer, she was one of only three female solo performers, along with Joan Baez and Janis Joplin, to perform at the generation-defining Woodstock Music and Art Fair in upstate New York.
By the mid-1970s her popularity waned, but she would maintain a following and keep recording and playing live into the 2010s.
Melanie was married to her manager and producer Peter Schekeryk from 1968 until his death in 2010. They had three kids together.
My Condolences to her Family Members and Friends.
