It's funny. The other guy I was thinking of was the man son of the people who lived next door to me. He was doing it in his 20s, and when he hit 40, he still had the same hair. It was odd. I would have thought it would disappear by then given that it started that early on.

Just remember that no no ne just "adopts" a combover overnight.
It just starts as a part and the part grows to meet its twin, in the middle of your pate.

Hi Rcky
It is a really freaky thing to die on your birthday. He had just gotten sick, but nothing bad, so it went very quick. I'm sure it just seems this way because we hear about the death on a birthday thing and remember the date...but from a statistical point of view, it sure seems to happen more than it should.

I remember him as as kid watching his show with my mom.
He was a good man. Isn't that something to die on the day he was born? Freaky! Good post!

That's sad, but the combover thing is one of the first things that I remembered, too. I have a character in a fiction piece I'm doing, and the guy has a combover. I had 2 people in my mind when I conjured it up, and Mike Douglas was one of them. That's a long time to remember something like that.

Don't forget he was also a singer.
...and a comb-over to die for!

Mason Reese wason the show I remember
He was a child actor and he was the guest host. They had Harry Chapin on to sing Cat's in the Cradle and Mason Reese ran off the set in tears. Mike Douglas looked perplexed.

Exactly!
I also remember one vague thing...I was always watching it when I was home from school. That and Perry Mason. Always a good day even if my mom made me clean out closets and drawers on those days I stayed home. You had to be pretty much dying and an amputee to get out of cleaning a drawer when you were home sick at my house.

Terpgirl30, I don't remember too much about the show, but I do remember the
man and he was one of the nice guys in a often cruel business!
