Blake Herron RIP


So many great ones leaving! Of all the recent passings, I was perhaps most affected by that of actor Blake Herron, who played young Marty in the movie "Shiloh." My mom and I watched this together and when she read the book she declared that the movie was better! (I have to concur that "Shiloh," like "Sounder," was a case of the movie greatly outdoing the book.) Mom raved about the precious doggie and called young Blake "angelic." Strange to say (as all things are indeed connected to Ray Bradbury) that Ray's friend Rod Steiger was in "Shiloh." Also strange to say, I had pictured him when reading the book, but as the bad guy from whom Marty is determined to rescue Shiloh. In the movie Steiger actually played the kindly old doctor. RIP Blake!

Awhile ago, I posted here complaining that there were no posts on the boards for Buster Keaton and William Daniels which there should be as they are both very popular, and someone kindly directed me to a couple of other sites containing old IMDb and other posts. Might someone post those again? I would also like to point out that maybe people aren't finding Blake's page at this site as his name is incorrectly spelled with only one "r." Thanks.
