One of my all time favorites, Louie Anderson, just passed away. Cancer.

He was amazing in the show Baskets.

It was an off-beat comedy. He played the mother in the show and was hilarious and believable. C Moon Jan 2022 #2

Louie was my favorite one on the show. He played that role so well that anyone who didn't know who it was might think he was a real grandmother. He was such a talented guy, and I hate to see him go.
