Same Lou Myers?

edit

Is this the same Lou Myers who was on A Different World, the Cosby Show spinoff? Either it is, and this article needs to be modified, or the article for A Different World needs to be modified to point away from this page. Schuminweb 19:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I IMDB'd Lou Myers from A Different World and there's no indication he passed away, so I'm going to work on a page for Lou Myers (actor). Donmega60645 14:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Date of Death?

edit

The New York Times is, so far, the only newspaper to have published an obituary. That obituary, which says "published Nov. 21, 2005," said Myers died "yesterday" -- i.e., Nov. 20. I have changed the date in the article accordingly. Cullinane 03:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
