Re: tOfficial 2024 Celebrity/Notable Deaths Thread

[Robert J Sakimano]

sad news.. y'all probably don't know the name "Herbert Coward" or even what he went by, "Cowboy", but I bet every single one of you know the singular character that made him famous.

he was my neighbor growing up. His backyard butted up to ours in our little town. He and my Dad worked together for decades at a textile factory. I grew up playing with his kids in the yard.

He was quite the local celebrity and every person I've ever met just lights up when I tell them this connection. He was nothing like the character, other than being just a good 'ol hillbilly like most everybody else in town was.

Sad stuff from my hometown newspaper.

Haywood's most famous mountain man dies in double-fatality car accident

Haywood County’s most well-known and most beloved actor, Herbert “Cowboy” Coward, died in a vehicle accident Wednesday.

Coward was widely known as “The Squirrel Man” for the tame pet squirrel that accompanied him nearly everywhere he went. But he was best known for his role in the 1972 classic movie, “Deliverance.”

if you've ever heard, or jokingly said, "He got a real purty mouth ain't he", you have Cowboy to thank.

Greatest generation Senator, appointed to serve when her husband died after election before being swore in.  Didn't run in the special election to replace him

Whichever mod fixed the double post, thank you.

Good question.  She was a Democratic Senator but that was ages ago.  I vaguely remember she being appointed to serve in her husband's place, which was noteworthy enough for it to stick lightly in my memory.

Here is a round about link to the AP article.

You could see it in his face - he let Rock win when they were sprinting on the beach.

Weathers was still a working actor when he died at 76.

Think his last role was picking up Gronkonski in the FanDuel ad.

[CaptainSlow33]

We thought he was going to teach us how to fight. Then we thought he was going to teach us how to act. In the end, he taught us how to be thrifty in any situation. RIP, Carl Weathers.

Carl Weathers as Chubbs was a fascinating departure from his earlier acting roles. You really have to hand it to him.
