Damn I'm getting old. ONJ was a talented lady and I remember going to see Grease at my small town movie theater when I was a kid. Really good movie and excellent soundtrack. And her death comes on the heals of Roger E. Mosley's death who played TC on Magnum PI. Friday nights were Magnum PI and Dukes of Hazard.....

I'm feeling old......

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, before computers, cell phones and 500 TV channels, was a blessing.
