I'm actually impressed he was still alive until just now, as he seemed ancient when I watched Catweazel as a kid (haven't seen it since, more's the pity).

Members of his fan club have done a lot to help him in recent years, I believe. As I recall, his mobility was decreasing so they funded/helped with improving his garden and getting a special chair for him.

They also contributed to a bust in memory of the series and Richard Carpenter:

That's pretty heart-warming - I'm glad that he made such an impression on however-many-people in his fan club that they could do that.

Powers Boothe

Won't see him in Deadwood movie :( Glad he was featured and really great in Agents of SHIELD last year.

IAMTHESYSTEM

He was in Southern Comfort by Walter Hill. Always remember him in that movie and the recently departed Bill Paxton's Frailty. So sorry he's gone.

Powers Boothe kicked so much arse - he did enigmatic malevolence so enthrallingly well. As the increasingly-unhinged Cy Tolliver in Deadwood he was utterly perfect - even among such a talented cast.

Usually I feel sad when I see this thread back on the top of the page...

Physically tortured the Kids for hours; mentally tortured their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
Don't know if RIP is applicable to Brady.  Z

Hopefully they bury Brady face down.
Give him a chance to see where he's going.

It's all right, that's in every contract.
That's what they call a sanity clause.
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause.
