The B-List
Folks who, while not quite rising to the level of Headliner, were still of note.

Pete Postlethwaite  (1/2, 64)  -  Amazing and underrated actor.  Go rent Brassed Off.   Maj. Dick Winters  (1/2, 92)  -  Inspiration for HBO's Band of Brothers Michael Gough  (3/17, 94)  -  Played Alfred in the 90's Batman movies Trevor Bannister  (4/14, 74)  -  Mr. Lucas on Are You Being Served?

James Arness  (6/3, 88)  -  Marshall Matt Dillon for 20 years on Gunsmoke. Clarice Taylor  (5/30, 93)  -  One of the Cosby Show grandparents Ryan Dunn  (6/20, 34)  -  Jackass Tom Aldredge  (7/22, 83)  -  Into The Woods, Sopranos, lots of others

Annette Charles  (8/3, 63)  -  Grease's Cha Cha DiGregorio (the best dancer at St. Bernadette's) Francesco Quinn (8/5, 48)  -  son of Anthony, Platoon's Rhah Bubba Smith  (8/3, 66)  -  former MSU and NFL standout, best known as Police Academy's Sgt. Hightower

Tom Wilson, Sr.  (9/16, 80)  -  creator of Ziggy Patrice O'Neal  (11/29, 41)  -  brilliant stand-up comic Vaclav Havel  (12/18, 75)  -  led Czech break from Soviets, first democratically elected president (1989-2003)

This one's just for me. The Golden Horseshoe Revue at Disneyland in Anaheim is in the longest running stage production in show business history, and it is largely because of the two people pictured above.  Wally Boag signed a two-week contract in 1955 to appear as the wacky Pecos Bill, the rootin' tootin' shootin-est cowboy in the Wild West.  A year later, Betty Taylor signed on as the female lead, Slue Foot Sue.  By the time Boag retired in 1982, they'd performed together almost 40,000 times.  Taylor remained with the show until it closed in 1986, logging almost 45,000 performances.  Wally Boag died Friday, June 3 at age 90.  Betty Taylor died Saturday, June 4 at age 91.  If you don't know the show, take a couple of minutes and watch it here.
