Jennifer Runyon, actress who's known for a number of roles, perhaps most remembered for playing a cute girl taking an ESP test for Dr. Venkman in the original Ghostbusters movie. The scene clearly establishes that Bill Murray's character is a grifter and a fraud. Funny!
Its a bit of a tear jerker. She was just 65, a year younger than me. Apparently, she succumbed to some type of cancer. Cancer sucks. I really wish we could do better against it.

I don't know who he was but that was one seriously old dude. I'll be thrilled if I do as well.

Chuck Norris.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

This just reminded me: back in the day, I would stumble on the TV show "Walker, Texas Ranger," and it seemed to me like every time there was a fight scene, they would immediately cut to a camera that was filming Chuck Norris from behind, giving me the impression that it was all done by a stunt double.
I even got worried about his health, that he's maybe too stiff to lift his legs and arms, or maybe chronically lazy, or maybe it was just a wrong impression.
