R.I.P. Red Buttons

[ProStockJunkie]

Maybe only us 'oldies' remember him, but I used to watch the Red Buttons Show when I was young.

I may not always appreciate how 'old' I am, but I'm thankful that I was able to grow up when I did because it was that last days of 'innocence' in this country. After all of the old vaudeville comics like Buttons are gone, there are just none to take their place. Vaudeville was way gone by the time I came around, but the players were not. Their acts carried over to the 'little screen' and gave us a taste of the past.

Rest in Peace Red(s) (Buttons & Skelton) and all who made us laugh in a more simple way.

Never got a dinner!

He was one of a kind and will never be replaced.
What a great actor he was to!

He was great, and could be a serious actor too.
