Fannish Items of Interest

Steven Franken has passed away, at the age of 80, as a result of cancer. May he rest in peace. If he’s who I’m thinking of, he played a warlock who was henpecked by his mother, and had a crush on Samantha on Bewitched. Where he also played five other characters. He was also in an episode of the Adam West version of Batman as a valet, and was the voice of someone in Batman: The Animated Series. His best remembered role would be as the rich and snobby Chatsworth Osborne Jr. on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, and for MST3K fans he ended up in Stranded In Space.

I don't watch Doctor Who and I don't plan to, as my impression is OH MY GOD THE MYTHOLOGY and that's not something I want to jump into midstream, but if Emma Watson were the new Doctor? I'd watch that.
