Any child of the 80s remembers Phil Donahue as a classy mid day talk show icon before it turned to smut (or at least we assumed as much because our moms watched).
Also, Phil Donahue wasn’t dead yet?!

Singer and actor James Darren, born James Ercolani, 88. South Philly native. I, of course, most remember him as the holodeck crooner Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
RIP. He starred in at least two baseball movies, Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings and, of course, Field of Dreams. Supposedly, he wasn’t much of a baseball fan.
He also made Star Wars, the hit it was too IMHO, without his voice as Darth Vader, I don't think it would have worked as well.
The greatest voice EVER. Always seemed like a great guy who would be fun to know. RIP Sir.
Also, The Sandlot.
Only fitting ti share this in a baseball group...
Letterman posted some highlights of James Earl Jones over the years. They are really good and I have no idea how Jones did not crack up reading the Top 10 lists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU98cp6mG38
