I can't remember when so many well-known movie stars last passed away in a single week -- although Tom Laughlin was known primarily for the Billy Jack films. Which I was never a huge fan of, but credit to him for challenging Warner Bros. to get Billy Jack better distribution. It was a smash, as was its sequel, The Trial of Billy Jack.

Yes, Include Audrey Totter, who played the femme fatale to perfection. RIP
