Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now NerdBot as News Editor. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

We are so heartbroken to bring you the news that comedic icon (LEGEND, all around amazing talent) Fred Willard, has passed away at the age of 86.

This news was first reported by TMZ, who also had a quote from Fred’s daughter, Hope, confirming this very sad news.

“My father passed away very peacefully last night at the fantastic age of 86 years old. He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end. We loved him so very much. We will miss him forever.”

Willard has been a mainstay across numerous comedic films and television shows, and we will miss him.

Please enjoy this lovely interview with Fred from the Archive of American Television about tv series “Roseanne.”

What role do you immediately think of when you hear his name?
