RIP.

A TV star, a sex advisor and . . . a fitness guy?

Seemed like a nice guy, just can't remember why he was famous.

Damn! Dr. Ruth had to be 120 by now! She was already old when she was big on TV in the 80-90s I want to say?

Dr. Ruth made Betty Davis look young and that was in the 80's. RIP Dr Ruth Wesheimer 🙏

Shannon Doherty was younger than me! Way too young to go. I enjoyed despising her on screen characters but no one deserves to die of cancer. Sad. RIP Shannon.

Can't say I liked Richard Simmons (it was the shorts and other things) but sorry to hear he's gone. RIP Richard.

Absolutely. Rough week to be famous.

Richard Simmons was a good dude.


One of the best Whose Line skits ever. 🤣

And I thought Dr Ruth was friggin old back when she was in the limelight. Turns out she was probably my current age when I thought she was “old”.

Damn! That's a lot of Gen-X touchstones there.

I knew I was getting old when the Star Trek movie reboots cast Winona Ryder as Spock's mom, but this makes it pretty real. :(

Yeah, some folks just start looking like they're 65 when they're 45. Reminds me of those commercials about don't become your parents...
