Always genuinely surprised he's still here. Is he still living in a van?
― Ned Trifle X, Friday, 6 November 2020 10:49 (three years ago) link
He won a court case for $5 million for two decades in back royalties six years back, so hopefully not. But even when he was reported to be living in the van, it was parked outside a four-bedroom home his lawyer rented for him, that he was "too paranoid" to go inside.
― @oneposter (✔️) (sic), Friday, 6 November 2020 11:00 (three years ago) link
Apparently he didn't see the $5m because it was appealed but having now googled him it seems the Jackson estate bought up his back catalogue last year, so maybe now he's getting something?

I think that's a sign, because I was just looking up something about Dan O'Bannon, and didn't realize he wrote the Blue Thunder script. Then I thought, huh, I haven't seen the Blue Thunder movie since I was a kid, I should watch it. And now this call back to the TV show? I think I'm in.

this doesn't even belong on this thread but i don't know where to put it. there was a guy i went to law school with and he lived near me. we would sometimes talk at the bus stop, he was really nice. after he graduated he took a rock climbing trip somewhere and he ended up falling from a boulder and he died from the head injury. he was a bon iver fan (i mean this was 2009) and the facebook page about his death had something about a bon iver song. since i don't have any reason to ever think of him but like once a year i run across a reference to bon iver, the idea of him dying has been replaced in my brain with "the guy from bon iver died." then i have to say to myself, "no, not him." i will persist in doing this until he dies for real or i die.

I've mentioned her before, but still alive at 94 is Jane Withers, once a child star rival of Shirley Temple, and one of America's top ten box office attractions of 1938 and 1939.
She retired at age 21, back in 1947.
