You're Turning Violet, Violet!

Dead: Leonard Stone. Who? He was one of the prime examples of what Bill Simmons calls "That Guy" -- character actors who appear in everything but whose names you don't know. This "That Guy" played Violet's dad in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." He was also in every sitcom of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Plus, he was in "Soylent Green," which, as you know, makes for some fine chow. Fun fact: In 2000, he was a contestant on "Wheel of Fortune," just as a regular guy, not a celebrity. He won a trip to Bermuda. Let's see your Leonardo DiCaprio top THAT. (TMZ)
