A note on the recently passed on.

[HPF Bob]

They say celebrities die in threes and that's a pretty big threesome. All of them were well-known all over the world.

I was reading a thread about Fawcett on another site and a poster noted that celebrities die in threes and predicted the next one would be Michael Jackson. That was three hours before the first reports of cardiac arrest started to come in.

Fawcett, it may not be well-known, was born in Corpus Christi and was a sorority sister at the University of Texas back in the late 60s. Some of the photos of her before she became an icon are, in my mind, some of the most beautiful, feminine images I've ever seen.

It doesn't matter how huge you get, though, the end eventually comes to them all.

Did you mean she was your sorority sister? Or that she was in a sorority?

It was little known but her family had moved to Houston before she exploded. In fact her father and brother still live here. Here brother Wayde Fawcett is a famous dentist here in Houston.

Also Jacqueline Smiths family lived in Houston in the late 70s, not sure if or when they left, small world.

I came to UT about 10 years after her.

She was a Delta Delta Delta or "Tri-Delt" which is the sorority of choice for girls who could spend Daddy's money like nobody's business.

Never met her personally though.

Yeah, Jaclyn Smith was born in Houston while Kate Jackson was born in Alabama and went to school at Ole Miss, proving of course that the best-looking women all come from the South. One trip up north should convince anyone of that.

Remember the good things and your memories of Ed, Farrah, and Michael.

We enjoyed them and we'll miss them. Wish their families condolences.

Well, it looks like MJ may have had help in is death. Police are searching for his personal doctor who regularly shot him up with Demerol and did so just before he went into cardiac arrest.
