97? WOW! Us Baby Boomers grew up on a steady diet of Art Linkletter.

RIP, Art. You were blessed with a nice, long life, and you used it well.

He was one of the greats. A class act all the way, even when he dealt with personal tragedy. May he rest in peace

Who said nice guys always finish last? Show biz could use more guys like him. Rest in peace, Mr. Linkletter.

My parents liked him,...but to kids I knew in the late 60's, he was the guy that had a daughter that dropped acid and jumped off a building. This was mentioned in our school anti-drug lectures.
