Jimmy Ray Dean (August 10, 1928 - June 13, 2010) was an American country music singer, television host, actor and businessman. Although he may be best known today as the creator of the Jimmy Dean sausage brand, he became a national television personality starting in 1957, rising to fame for his 1961 country crossover hit "Big Bad John" and his television series, The Jimmy Dean Show, which also gave puppeteer, Jim Henson, his first national media exposure. His acting career included a supporting role as Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. He lived near Richmond, Virginia and was nominated for the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010, although he was formally inducted posthumously.

CULT as HELL! You gonna love "Monster Brawl" simply because it has everything a comedy-horror movie ought to have, plus a damn original, fresh direction. It's Mortal Combat meets Grindhouse meets WWE, or in other words: Eight classic monsters fight to the death in an explosive wrestling tournament set inside an abandoned and cursed graveyard. Forget X-men, Captain America, Spiderman, Immortals, and all the other usual stuff (which is great, but just obvious to death). You want real inhuman heroes - you now got Monster Brawl. Check out the official site at www.monsterbrawlmovie.com Coming in 2011 Starring: Dave Foley, Robert Maillet (from "Sherlock Holmes"), Jason Brown, Art Hindle, Kelly Couture, Rj Skinner, Kevin Nash, Lance Henriksen, Jimmy Hart, Herb Dean, Rachelle Corbeil

Rich Little's appearance on Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast. Rich said that he had no idea what he was going to do up to the point when they introduced him. His last-minute idea was to give Jimmy Stewart pointers on how to be Jimmy Stewart. The result of his last-minute decision, totally off the cuff, is now classic comedy history.
