Frank Reighter reports that supporting actress Faye Williams of UNCIVIL WAR BIRDS (1946) died earlier today, October 12, 2010 in Texas.


Well you know, she lived to be 85, so good for her. 

I only word it like that not to be insensitive, but to point out the other two actresses who played the "Belle" sisters lived to be 31 (Eleanor Counts) and 37 (Marilyn Johnson).  Does anybody know exactly what happened to them?  For years I've seen their early deaths listed in filmographies, but no details.

It's been nearly a year since the last post here. I'm wondering if there are any updates.  Who's still with us, and who (sadly) have left our world since then?

Yeah, by all means, subscribe to the Journal. If you're posting on here, it should be a no brainer!

You can subscribe here: http://stoogeum.com/id3.html

Or once the main site returns here, there should be a link to subscribe online.

A year is only $9, but odds are, your first year will be the start of many years as a subscriber. I can't imagine anyone not renewing their subscription after a year. Only a real birdbrain would do that. The content is that good.

Do you mean Jackie Jackson? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413613/

Or are you thinking of someone else?

It still amazes me how many of these people are still alive from way back when.  When I was a kid, watching the Stooges, I had no idea how old the Stooges shows were.  Thus, I figured everyone in the shorts to be long since dead.  I still think it's amazing.
