The TUMBREL of MISSED OPPORTUNITY

An Iranian man who lived for 18 years in Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport and whose saga loosely inspired the Steven Spielberg film "The Terminal" died Saturday in the airport that he long called home, officials said.

Merhan Karimi Nasseri died after a heart attack in the airport's Terminal 2F around midday, according an official with the Paris airport authority. Police and a medical team treated him but were not able to save him, the official said. The official was not authorized to be publicly named.

His ashes should be put into a statue of him to be permanently installed at that airport in the exact place he "lived" at.

That's sad. Cheers was my comfort TV for many years. Where Everybody Knows Your Name.

Interestingly, I don't see her name in the opening credits. Apparently, she wasn't one of the original characters. Her character first appeared in the 6th season of the show. In fact several of the more popular characters were added in later seasons. FWIW:

She replaced the "Diane" actress who went on to have a career . . . probably.

Most remember her better as:
