Starting with actress Fay Holden's, who had played Ma Hardy throughout most of the series, passing on June 23 and running for almost the next month until Bruce Lee died unexpectedly on July 20th someone of great renown passed away every couple of days including Betty Grable, Veronica Lake, Robert Ryan, Joe E.
