Several websites are reporting that Forrest J Ackerman, sci-fi legend and founding editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, has passed away. As far as I know, this is NOT true. It is true that Forry is 91 and ailing. It's also true that friends of his have circulated e-mails saying this would be a good time to write or visit Forry to say the kind of things you want to say to someone before they depart. But the news now circulating that he has died is apparently premature…and if Forry has heard about it, I'll bet he's having a chuckle.
