Rip Taylor Dead At 84

[TheBigA]

Personally, I thought he died a few months ago, but that was the actor Rip Torn. This was the guy with the big mustache who threw confetti wherever he went.

He seemed just a bit off kilter, if you know what I mean, especially for his time. The word "flamboyant" barely covers it.

There are so many people who died recently who I thought died years ago. This is one of them.

Yes, plenty of confusion out there between Rip Taylor and Rip Torn.

Despite the fact that they were absolutely nothing alike.

He was the host of the $1.98 Beauty Show, created by Gong Show creator Chuck Barris.
