One of the best-known twins in television history has died.
Jim Hager who appeared on the "Hee-Haw" program with his brother Jon
for 19-years suffered a heart attack tonight.
The 66-year-old twins had a long career in television and film and
even had a country hit with "Gotta Get to Oklahoma" in 19-69.
Funeral services are pending.
Yowzah. 66 years old???!!! I remember when Hee Haw was one of my daddy's
favourite shows, and the Hagers were so very young (looking).

I wonder if he's the one that went with Karen Valentine.

Wow. It's hard to believe that Donald Harron, married to Catherine
McKinnon - who used to be known affectionately by some as "Canada's
sweetheart" - is 83. Funny guy.

They had a pretty good bunch of them on a TVLand awards show last year, where
they gave the show some kind of lifetime achievement award...both of the Hager
boys were present, and I remember at the time being surprised at that...even had
a short skit with many of the Hee-Haw Honeys....r

Honies.

Um, to heaven, darlin'.
She did? Everything I'm seeing, says she's still around.
I always confused her with Deborah Walley, who died a
few years ago.

According to sources, she went (back) to Los Angeles with her musician hubby
Gary Verna. Maybe living so close to Jim Beaver just *seems* like heaven
... ;)

That's what you get for having a conversation with a slightly snarky
moron -- me. I was thinking Karen Carpenter.
Cue Ms. Latella.
Jim Beaver
I love snarky. Keep on keeping on.
Meanwhile....what's all this talk about flea erections?

NEVER MIND!!!
