The Celebrity Beat…

As usual, people have been spending the days after the Oscars complaining about who got left out of the In Memoriam segment.

Here are the names that are being tossed around:

James Van Der Beek

Eric Dane

Malcolm-Jamal Warner

Robert Carradine from “Revenge of the Nerds” and “Lizzie Maguire”

Brigitte Bardot

June Lockhart from “Lassie” and “Lost in Space”

“Harold and Maude” star Bud Cort

George Wendt

Julian McMahon

“M*A*S*H*” star Loretta Swit

Loni Anderson

Samantha Eggar from “All My Children” and the original “Doctor Dolittle”

To be fair, a lot of these stars were better known for their TV work, and will probably make the In Memoriam segment at the Emmys.  But that’s not until September.

Robert Carradine’s omission feels kind of egregious, especially since his death is so fresh. I wonder if it’s because his biggest claim to fame, “Revenge of the Nerds“.
