Deaths in Sept. 2022: Starr, Fletcher and Coolio

KEN STARR, 76

A former federal appellate judge and a prominent attorney whose criminal investigation of Bill Clinton led to the president's impeachment and put Starr  in the center of one of the country's most polarizing debates in the 1990s.  Died September 13.

LOUISE FLETCHER. 88

A late-blooming star whose riveting performance as Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" set a new standard for screen villains and won her an Academy Award.  Died September 23.

I always felt she was just doing her job and trying to deal with Jack Nicholson.

COOLIO, 59

The rapper was among hip-hop's biggest names of the 1990s with hits including "Gangsta's Paradise" and "Fantastic Voyage."   Died September 28.

I really liked those two songs and I am not a rap fan.
