Yes, we know that Tony Franciosa, who was mentioned in a host segment in episode 401- SPACE TRAVELLERS, and who was briefly married to Shelley Winters, recently passed away. But since he didn’t actually appear in the episode, we didn’t feel the need to post a notice about it. Until now. This also goes for the recent passing of playwright Wendy Wasserstein, whose initials provided two of the many W’s in Crow’s bracelet in episode 1002- GIRL IN THE GOLD BOOTS.
And yes, we know that John Allen Nelson, Mr. Deathstalker himself from episode 703- DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL, is currently appearing in the FOX series “24.” But literally thousands of actors and crewmembers have been involved in the making of the various movies featured on MST3K, and we really don’t want to mention each and every time one of them works on a new project. Unless it’s something really newsworthy. Like curing cancer. Or shooting a janitor into space.
