In [URL="https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/05/03/chewbacca-acteur-peter-mayhew-overleden-74-a3959037"]this[/URL] Dutch language news source, which is not my normal choice of news outlet but which I happened to find when reading about Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), the following amusing addendum has been added to its obituary:

Showing my age, but several of her songs are on my playlists (that I listen to after the office has emptied out each day). Have probably heard one of her songs daily for the last decade. Great actress, and very good singer; a pleasant, musical voice.

He was still doing promos for [i]Carol Burnett and Friends[/i] on MeTV a few years ago ... he and Harvey Korman were so great together on that show. Tim considered it his job to crack Harvey up mid-sketch via some outrageous unrehearsed bit of hilarity, and Harvey rarely failed to oblige. Anyone who wants to see them at their best, check out their classic [i]The dentist[/i] sketch on uTube.
