FAREWELL, DONALD MOFFAT...

You paired well with your pal, Ralph Waite on "The Waltons", "The Mississippi" and the down-and-out character study, "On the Nickel". 

In action/adventure, you were sophisticated and spry in "Clear and Present Danger", "The Bourne Identity '88", "The Right Stuff" and the disaster epic, "Earthquake". 

To those who prefer the fantastic, you were a strong, dependable participant in "The Thing '82", "Exo-Man", "Popeye" and "Monster in the Closet"; and on television, in "Rod Serling's Night Gallery", "The Twilight Zone '85" and above all, "Logan's Run", where your android, Rem gave an uncommon air of humanity among extraordinary circumstances. 

Through your empathetic expression, you emerged well rounded, deft, compassionate and when need be, Mr. Moffat, abrasive and buoyant: the type of masterful thespian one can respect for each and every remarkable role. 

GOODBYE, HEATHER MENZIES...

From "Sound of Music" and "Hawaii" to such speculative sojourns as "Piranha '78"; "Endangered Species"; "Captain America '79"; and "Sssssss", you added a distinct air of glamour, class and finesse to each production in which you starred; including those that also featured your talented spouse, Robert Urich. Of course, to many of us, you'll be best remembered as Jessica 6 in the television-series version of "Logan's Run", where your adventurous beauty took us to places we could have only ever dared imagine. 

You had a tough time of it in your final hours, but you fought it all like a champ. Rest assured, you'll be forever missed and adored by your many fans. God bless and farewell, fair lady...
