She left behind a big legacy. More recently, Owl Moon, a beautiful book and then the famous series, “How Do Dinosaurs….” (Many versions, I bet you all read at least one version to your kids!)

James Burrows, the 11-time Emmy-winning director who co-created “Cheers” and helped turn such long-running sitcoms as “Taxi,” “Friends,” “Will & Grace” and “The Big Bang Theory” into fan favorites, died on Friday. He was 85. Burrows, often considered a fatherly manager, tried to bridge the gap between actors and writers and notably took the stars of “Friends” on a trip to Las Vegas before directing 15 episodes of the blockbuster comedy.

Tom Dreesen, a comic whose nearly 60-year career began as the white half of a rare interracial stand-up duo with Tim Reid and who later became a reliably funny staple of late-night television and Frank Sinatra’s longtime opening act, died on Wednesday at his home in Sherman Oaks, Calif. He was 86.

I didn’t know Tim Reid was a comic so I learned that. I knew of him from WKRP so thought of him as an actor. Interesting - and I didn’t realize he’s in his 80s. Sounds like Mr. Dreesen had a good life.
