JOHN FORSYTHE: 1918-2010

[Jason Larsen]

John Forsythe, who you Brits all know as the guy who made Charlie's Angels famous, died at the age of 92 of lung cancer.

If you don't believe me, take a look at this link.

I thought you were having a bit of a late April Fools' joke on us Jason, but I checked it and you are right.

I still cannot believe that a man of 92 has died....

[Jason Larsen]

He had lung cancer for a year.

Why do we not find out when famous people are sick?

[John Bosley]

When Charlie's Angels was at its height I used to get people (well, women actually) at cashouts smiling at me and saying something slightly humorous when they looked at my bank card. Thank you, John Forsythe!

Maybe because dying could be considered quite a private and personal thing?

[Jason Larsen]

I knew how popular Charlie's Angels was in Britain.

Yes, it could be.

[Jason Larsen]

Everybody knew about Michael Jackson dying!

Why?

[David Roe]

For the same reason we knew about John Forsythe dying, Jason. Because it was on the news.

We didn't know a year in advance that he was dying, though. Why not?

Ok
