    Or Ed?





    McMahon was born in Detroit to Eleanor (née Russell) and Edward Leon McMahon, a fund-raiser and entertainer.[4] He was raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. He attended Catholic University of America, majoring in speech and drama. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949. He was a member of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. McMahon began his career as a bingo caller in Maine when he was fifteen.

    Prior to this, he worked as a carnival barker for three years in Mexico, Maine. He put himself through college as a pitchman for vegetable slicers on the Atlantic City boardwalk. His first broadcasting job was at WLLH-AM in his native Lowell and he began his television career in Philadelphia at WCAU-TV.

    Military service

    During World War II, McMahon was a fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps serving as a flight instructor and test pilot. He was a decorated pilot (six Air Medals) and was discharged in 1946, remaining in the reserves.[5]

    After college, McMahon returned to active duty. He was sent to Korea in February 1952. He flew unarmed OE-1 Bird Dogs on 85 tactical air control and artillery spotting missions. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.

    Several of his ancestors, including the Marquis d'Equilly, also had long and distinguished military careers. Patrice MacMahon, duc de Magenta was a Marshal of armies in France, serving under Napoleon III, and later President. McMahon once asserted to Johnny Carson that mayonnaise was originally named MacMahonnaise in honor of this ancestor, referring to him as the Comte de MacMahon. In his autobiography, McMahon said that it was his father who told him of this relationship and he went on to suggest that he was not certain of the truth of the story.

    Mr. McMahon, hands down. He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice not once but twice. Any man or woman willing to fly unarmed observation missions in a Bird Dog is either crazy or got balls the size of water mellons, especially after serving as a fighter pilot in WWII.

    Hands down Mr. McMahon!

    What did the other two do for their Country or its citizens that did not get them a gigantic pay check? Entertainers, no real skills, and one's personal conduct and character were in question. Why would we celebrate that? I glad his reign on the news is over! How may times did they go behind enemy lines willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for people they did not know?

    I respect what Ed did for his country but I never really knew him as an actor. I never watched him on the tonight show and he was always portrayed as Carsons second. His commercials for the We Buy Gold guys definitely lowered his star in my eyes.

    I would have said Michael before the trial. I did like his music. He just became too wierd. I really feel for his kids. I think this is the answer the world gives.

    As to Farrah, she was a gorgeous woman when I was a young man. Had her poster hanging near the pool table. I was glad that she finally over came the dumb blonde slot she got pegged into by Hollywood. Of the three, I'd have to say Farrah.

    I will miss Michael - mostly because I remember so well who and what he represented. In the beginning he was not contaminated and destroyed by the media at large.

    He was a normal boy - not skinny - who was cute and full of life. He was full of 'soul' and made the Jackson 5 incredibly famous. Not only did he have his Michael Jackson voice - but every bit equal to that he had the moves and personality to go with it.

    Then came the 'self examination' that goes with global fame and endless weath. The belief that 'cosmetic surgery' can improve me and in the end it largely destroyed him.

    The belief that being 'too black' (or yourself) is not good enough and so you make further changes.

    POPULARITY OVERWHELMINGLY - kept him in Prison most of his life and kept him under the 'microscope' - what he had to deal with throughout most of the years would have been very hard.

    I am thrilled he has been freed from this world. What I will miss the most is the Innocent - Pure - Natural Human Being.

    What I will miss most about Farrah - is the real genuine lady she represented; her heart and character and the pains and agony of being a mother with a troubled son and a husband who is always hurting in her pain - more than his own.

    Like many other women - she was the 'Ultimate sex symbol' and it was her beauty that made her famous. Over the years she had 'an image' she had to maintain - much like Elizabeth Taylor and so many others - but I believe she was ultimately true to herself and made a point of showing herself as 'real human being with a genuine heart and mind'.

    Losing her outward beauty - did not take from her inward beauty - and I admire that and the example she lived.

    That's what I'll miss the most.

    Take the clue from the World Wide Media, and the World Wide Reactions to the unfortunate deaths of 3 people.......see who/where mourns the most about whom. Then decide for yourself if you're in the Majority, or the Ultra Slim Minority.

    There certainly is a difference between a Late Night Side Kick (Ed), a Movie Star (Farrah) and a Global Icon (Michael).

    Michael Jackson’s shtick was simply a more sophisticated, well financed variation on the molester with an ice cream truck.
    ...
    Why did Michael Jackson bring back the gay porno producer to use a video camera to oversee kid trips to Neverland AFTER it was admitted by Jackson’s own people the Jackson/Schaffel alliance was blatantly improper?
    ...
    Parents had an obligation to know they were sending their kids to a ferris wheel controlled by an accused molester who hung out only with young boys (as Howard Stern has said, “Where are the young girls?”) and his gay pornographer pal.
    ...
    May he rest in heat.

    On the world stage, his popularity was no where near ABBA. They remain a fixture of radio playlists and are one of the world's best selling bands, having sold over 370 million records world wide;they still sell two to four million records a year.
