Well, it can't be a portent "after the fact".

As I understand it, Anne Francis died and upon hearing the news, the programmers at TCM changed the line-up, hastily scheduling "FP" to air later that day.

I understand TCM did the same thing when Leslie Nielson (Cmmdr. J.J. Adams) died recently.

Hmm, Earl Holliman ("Cookie")...I'll check to see if he's still around. I know "Doc' Ostrow" passed away years ago. (He also played Rojan in the Trek episode "By Any Other Name", the episode where most of the crew are reduced to sheet-rock blocks.)

Sincerely,

Bill
