Farwell Tony The Tiger and Ernest T. Bass

We've lost another couple of icons of the past.

Thurl Ravenscroft was approached by the Kellogg's people, years ago, about creating some sort of a slogan for Frosted Flakes. He came up with "They're grrrrrrrreat!" The rest is history.

Ravenscroft has died at the age of 91.

And, Howard Morris, best known to fans of The Andy Griffith Show as Ernest T. Bass, the rock-tossing, lovable redneck who had the hots for Charlene Darling, has died.

Morris may have been best known as Bass, but his roots were in the early days of TV on Sid Caesar's Your Show Of Shows working with greats like Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon and Woody Allen, to name but a few.

Morris was 85. Click here for his page on the Internet Movie Data Base.
