2014 was a year that marked the loss of some great actors and actresses.  We lost some that were a household name like Lauren Bacall, Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple Black, James Garner, and Robin Williams.  Names that you maybe knew but couldn't place like Marcia Strassman (Julie/Mrs. Kotter on Welcome Back Kotter), Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit), Ann B. Davis (Housekeeper Alice on The Brady Bunch), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote and The Hunger Games:Catching Fire), Sheila McCrae (Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners), and Dave Madden (Band manager Reuben Kincaid on The Partridge Family).  One name you don't recognize and you didn't know she played this character.  Ruth Robinson Duccini-One of the last surviving actors to play a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz.  She was 95.
