It is an utter tragedy and travesty what happened yesterday. RIP Richard Simmons.

Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shelly Duvall make this death trifecta. That other goon didn't qualify to be associated with the wholesomeness and entertainment those three good people brought to the world.

Shelly Duvall was a few days ago, I would put the third as Shannen Doherty

Thereabouts but battling cancer for the past decade

Who the hell is Dr Ruth? This is like the third time today I’ve heard that name and I’ve literally never even heard of this person before.

Ah you missed out on some good TV. She was a sex doctor that spoke in a plain and positive way about intercourse, sexuality, etc. Yeah, we all tittered and giggled but I don't know anyone who didn't learn at least something from her show.
