    Ah, but according to Wikipedia, he died in 1956.

    The only thing that makes this more hilarious is that the original link seems to have predicted his death the day before.

    Dude, online obits often feature tributes to celebrities, etc. who also happened to pass on that day of the month.

    I think this is one of those entries that should be filed under "I misread the webpage"... because I think that this is one of those "On this day in history- January 12: Norman Kerry passed away; and was a famous silent movie star."

    I can see how one could perceive that he just recently passed away...

    Could be. I saw the post in another forum on silent movies.

    I think he slowly deteriorated, like an old roll of celluloid.

    Just a few days ago, on a radio station I listen to, the host announced that both Phil Everly and Bo Diddley had did that day. I knew about Phil, so I looked into Bo and found out he's been dead for 5 years.

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    Not even the same date, either.
    Phil = 1/3/2014
    Ellas Otha Bates = 6/2/2008

    This is unfortunate. I was really hoping to spur a thread about silent movies. But, I just saw an article that silent pictures are now dead and talking movies are coming.
