Also, Italian actor Peppino Mazzullo passed away a few days ago at the age of 100. He was the voice of Topo Gigio, the little mouse puppet made famous (in America) on the Ed Sullivan Show. Mazzullo voiced the character for 45 years, stepping aside in 2006.

Certainly left a lasting legacy abroad. Even got an anime for that mouse!

Wow, I thought Bakker had died years ago. I was always surprised to hear that he hadn't.

No, that's just his career that you were thinking of

Me too. I could have sworn he did. Maybe I was thinking of Tammy Faye. Or some other scumbag TV preacher like Jimmy Swaggert.
