Dead: Roberto Gomez Bolanos, Mexican TV actor, at 85. Why would this be of interest? Well, for one thing, he was massively popular as the character Chespirito, but he also played another character, El ChapulÃn Colorado, the Crimson Grasshopper, and anyone like myself who would happen upon Spanish-language TV on the UHF dial in the '70s would remember him in a sad-sack superhero costume with a red heart on his chest with the letters "C H" on it. And that inspired something everyone's seen: Bumblebee Man, the recurring background character on "The Simpsons." So, an icon in Mexico and an inspiration in America. Not bad. (KTLA/Los Angeles)
