We just lost another one today 😔
Swift Justice Host Judge Jackie Glass has passed away today at 70.
Many television viewers remember her as the no-nonsense judge who succeeded Nancy Grace on Swift Justice. But long before the cameras, Glass had already built a respected career in Nevada law.
She became especially known nationwide for presiding over O.J. Simpson’s 2008 trial in Las Vegas, ultimately sentencing the former NFL star to prison after his conviction. It became one of the most closely watched cases of her judicial career.
Glass was known for being direct, animated and unwilling to disappear behind the formality of the robe. Whether people knew her from a nationally televised courtroom or from her years of public service in Nevada, she built a career around one thing: making the call when it mattered.
Rest in peace, Judge Jackie Glass. 🕊️❤️
Three days took six legends, but decades of memories remain 🕊️
Between August 24 and 26, entertainment said goodbye to names whose work reached completely different generations.
Dolly Parton — A country music giant whose Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You became standards, while her philanthropy made her legacy much bigger than music.
Peter Cullen — For more than 40 years, his unmistakable voice gave Optimus Prime his strength, dignity and humanity. He was also beloved as Eeyore.
Tim Curry — Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise, Wadsworth, Nigel Thornberry and countless others. Few performers could be this funny, strange and terrifying across the same career.
Jaye P. Morgan — A successful singer who later became one of television’s most memorable personalities as a regular judge on The Gong Show.
Samuel Monroe Jr. — A familiar face from ’90s Black cinema through Menace II Society, Tales from the Hood, Set It Off and The Players Club.
Debbie “Storm” Clark — One of the unforgettable competitors who helped make American Gladiators larger than life for ’90s audiences.
A song. A voice. A character. A movie. A childhood memory.
That’s how people remain long after the dates beside their names stop changing.
Gone in the past three days, but permanently written into the things generations still love. ❤️
Again... We lost another legend today. 🥹
