FILE - In this circa 1945 file photo provided by Associated Press reporter Bob Thomas, right, plays poker with legendary comedians Bud Abbott, left, and Lou Costello, during an interview. When Thomas began writing a Hollywood column for The AP in 1944, there were 500 journalists covering the movie scene. Fresh, newsy interviews were hard to come by, so he began writing "participation stories." Thomas died of age-related illnesses Friday, March 14, 2014 at his Encino, Calif., home, his daughter Janet Thomas said. He was 92. (AP Photo/Courtesy Bob Thomas, file)
