The Hollywood community and fans around the world have lost another of their favorite stars. Pernell Roberts has passed away. Best known for his work in the hits shows Bonanza and Trapper John, M.D., he made guest appearances in such series as The Big Valley, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Mission: Impossible, and Ironside before retiring in the mid 1990s.
Our thoughts and best wishes go out to his wife Eleanor, his friends, and fellow actors. Pernell Roberts was 81.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of legendary actress Jean Simmons at the age of 80. The British beauty took the acting world by storm when she starred opposite Laurence Olivier in Hamlet, a role that earned her the first of two Academy Award nominations. That role was followed by classic films including Guys and Dolls with Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra, Elmer Gantry, Spartacus opposite Kirk Douglas, Angel Face with Robert Mitchum, The Robe with Sir Richard Burton, The Big Country with Gregory Peck, Desiree, also with Marlon Brando, The Actress with Spencer Tracy, The Grass is Greener opposite Cary Grant, Home Before Dark with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., and The Happy Ending, for which she earned her second Academy Award nomination.
Her television credits were as varied and numerous as her theatrical career, appearing in the miniseries North and South, North and South Book II, Great Expectations for The Disney Channel, and an Emmy Award-winning performance as ‘Fiona Cleary’ in The Thorn Birds with Barbara Stanwyck, Richard Chamberlain, and Rachel Ward.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to her daughters Tracy and Kate (named after Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn), her family, and friends. She was a wonderful actress, and a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed.
As if the February event isn’t already packed with your favorite stars of yesterday and today, here’s another two to add to the list of those you’ve simply got to meet. The Bionic Woman stars Lindsay Wagner and Richard Anderson will be joining in on the weekend’s festivities!
The Hollywood Show is pleased to welcome multiple Grammy Award winner Helen Reddy to our February celebrity roster! Known for hit songs including I Am Woman, No Way To Treat A Lady, Ruby Red Dress, Delta Dawn, and many, many more, Ms. Reddy will be joining us on Saturday, February 13th only. The Hollywood Show marks Ms. Reddy’s first ever appearance at a celebrity autograph event, and after spending the day greeting her fans, we’re positive that it won’t be her last.
