I felt the same way last year when TCM left out veteran supporting actress and blonde bombshell Adele Jergens in their yearend tribute to those who passed away.
I didn't recognize the name of Jonathan Brandis at first when I heard of his death. However I did see the young goodlooking actor in the zany comedy "Ladybugs" with Rodney Dangerfield. I never like hearing the news of a young person taking their own life when there could be so much to live for. Apparently he had some serious problems that his friends didn't notice and thats too bad. If only he seeked some sort of help which is out there today.
My heart goes out to his parents especially since he was an only child.
Also I heard many times that someone was going to write a bio (including Russ Tamblyn) on Bobby Driscoll one of Hollywoods greatest child stars. I hope you succeed in writing one since I would very much like to read about the complete story of his life although sadly too short.
