    All that effort didn't have a ROI

    After having an injury (maybe knee), he quit doing the show, since he
    had made his fortune.

    Genes are genes, I guess! Or, maybe once the show ended, he returned to
    a life of cheap pizza and gin, smoking Marlboros with the filters cut
    off, and the lot ...

    Been a bad week for stars I enjoyed in the 70s. (RIP Shelly Duvall too).

    That's pretty young. I'll be curious to know what happened to her.
    Depression, drugs, bad genes, cancer, what?

    She was a hottie on 90210.

    Yeah, just saw the write-up on BBC: breast cancer that went to her brain
    and finally her bones. I'm also reminded her co-star Luke Perry died at
    52 from a stroke.

    That's pretty young. Too bad.
