Suzzane Douglas. RIP
She is the one on the far left, which they forgot to point out.

Anthony Falconetti, aka Falcon Eddie.
Damn, I haven't heard that name in decades. I recall him being one of the best villains out there. Yup, hated his guts.
As for William Smith, he had quite a life.
A lifelong bodybuilder, Smith is a record holder for reverse-curling his own body weight.
During the Korean War he was a Russian Intercept Interrogator and flew secret ferret missions over the Russian SFSR.
He studied at institutions in Syracuse, Munich, and Paris before graduating Cum Laude from UCLA where he earned a master’s degree.
It appears he had a great and productive life.

Don't forget him in the 1970 movie "C.C. and Company" starring Joe Namath and Ann Margret...........that movie and its fight seen with Namath had a small scene in Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood".
RIP Mr. Smith

Canadian heli-ski legend Mike Wiegele dies at 82.

Though I never got to ski at Wiegele's resort (completely out of my range), this was as high end as it gets in the heli-skiing world.

Rapper Biz Markie has passed away at the age of 57. He is best known for his hit Just A Friend, and for the lawsuit that Gilbert O'Sullivan launched against him that ended up changing the entire landscape of rap, by forcing rap artists to clear all recognizable samples that they used in their songs.
