Actually, I did not know that-- I haven't been all that familiar w/that 1981-90 CBS serial.
Oh I'm sorry. Yes, FALCON CREST employed an Italian family with Caproni as a surname. That name has always "stuck" with me, and when I finally decided to rebrand, I went with that name.

Just trying to give it some flair.

And you very much did, IMO.

I wouldn´t cry out "caproni" in the middle of a street in Italy, or Spain for that matter. In both languages it sounds like very dirty words... :censer:

I saw the news about Cloris Leachman just a few minutes ago. At first I was surprised how hard the news hit me, celebrity deaths don't usually effect me very much but she is someone who has brought me so much joy and so many laughs.

i know what you mean it hit me hard too i mean i know she was in her 90's but still i've loved her long long before i even saw her on the mary tyler moore show for me i think it was the masterpiece Young Frankenstein (19 74) that is easily her best part she ever had at least i think so anyways, did you see that the creator also died? i forget his name he was a little younger i think he was 81 i want to say? now all that's left is it's early here so i forget his name Murray, Ed Asner and the lovely Bette White isn't it? i mean Lisa Gerristin is still alive as well sorry for the crap spelling of her last name but without looking it up i dunno how to spell it? it's been so long since i last watched it i even forgot whom she even played! but i liked the spin-off Phyliss it wasn't as good as Rhoda (1974-1978) but it was still pretty good i think

Nice to see how so many of the cast are living such long, prosperous lives. Betty White is 99, Ed Asner is 91 and Gavin McLeod turns 90 in a couple of weeks. And of course Cloris Leachman was 94 at the time of her death.

And there was the famous situation with Valerie Harper, where she shocked the world by announcing her terminal illness in 2013. She had a cancerous condition involving the sac surrounding the brain (not a "brain tumor," per se) and had three months to live. Then she beat the odds and survived six years.

The Love Boat is what put him in the news yesterday but it's still Murray I think of first when I hear his name. (He was in McHale's Navy, too.)
I can certainly understand why most people would feel this way but to me the first role I think of is Captain Stubin. Maybe it’s all the guest stars on the Love Boat? I don’t know. I loved him as Murray too but I guess when I think of that show I think of Mary first.
