Sadly, Glynnis Johns (Jan 4th), whom I absolutely loved in "Mary Poppins" and "While You Were Sleeping" passed away at age 100. It's wonderful that she lived so long, but sad that she's gone.And David Soul passed away on January 4th as well.
David Soul age 80, best known for the tv show Starsky and Hutch.https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/05/entert...

Most stories mentioned Starsky and Hutch. Few mentioned Brides or his hit song Don't Give Up on Us.

I didn't know that!
Speaking of Here Comes The Brides...by coincidence I found all the shows on the Roku channel. It is a free app. I got it through Amazon on the Firestick. I watched two shows right away. Jeremy makes my heart go pitter pat.
