So long Art. You had a long run. Gosh, I’m old — I can remember his afternoon show in the 50s.
Don’t feel bad Palmetto…I do too!
Thank god I am not that old!!
Why do we say “R.I.P”??? Maybe there’s a party going on…in the “next life”!!! I dunno.
Cindy:
I hope what comes next will be a peaceful respite from what is the generally described turmoil of this world. However, until I learn otherwise, I will enjoy those moments in this world as they come.
Thank god I am not that old!!
Forever young, huh? Some optimism is desirable.
Whenever I hear the name Art Linkletter I think of his trademarked “Kids say the durnest things”, and secondly I’m reminded about how his beautiful daughter took way too much LSD and jumped from a window to her death.
Art campaigned against drug abuse for at least two decades, and I feel his grief, it was a pointless loss.
Rest In Peace, or have fun in the next life Art. We’ll miss you.
Gosh, I will miss him. Such an understated man, very humble, very low-key, – and yet, a great entertainer. The tragedy of his daughter was very, very painful, but at least he can now see his daughter again and give her a big hug.
Art, you will be missed, but some of us will see you soon.
Et Lux Perpetua.

I remember watching Art Linkletter as a kid – yes, I’m old too! What a class act. He was always respectful, and carried with a positive, cheerful, humorous message & demeanor about him. To my knowledge, he was never condescending or arrogant, despite successfully emerging as a personality in the “golden era” of TV. He set a great example, and I am so sorry that his daughter died such an early tragic death. Sadly, many children of celebrities seek refuge in drugs/alcohol when unable to match the enormous success of the parent(s), along with many child stars who are unable to match their own early success when they reach adulthood. RIP, AL.
