Goodnight, Mr. Solo

[DGoddessChardonnay]

I am having trouble announcing this, but there is another star in heaven tonight.

Robert Vaughn was 83.

For the younger generation, he was part of the ensemble cast of the British series "Hustle", which ran from 2004-2010.

But for us older ones, he will always be Napoleon Solo, the suave, ladykiller spy in the classic tv series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."

I can't say much more . . . too choked up

When I saw the title my immediate reaction was "Han or Napoleon?" Heard about the Man from U.N.C.L.E., but never watched it, and hadn't heard about "Hustle" until now, so Harrison Ford is the one with a connection to my childhood.

I am so sorry to hear this, he's one of my favorite actors. He was the last survivor of the main cast of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960) and besides THE MAN FROM UNCLE also did later episodes of THE A-TEAM.

A true gentlemen, he will not be easy to replace...

Irreplaceable would be more appropriate. I have been in love w/him since I was 14 years old and nobody can come close.

2016 has really sucked, hasn't it?

'Scuse me, need a tissue . . .
