He was also in that "Legend of Billy Jean" movie with Helen Slater. I think he was a senator or something in that movie, but I forget since it's been quite a few years since I last watched it.

Dang. That just leaves Mickey Dolenz as the last surviving Monkee.

Davy Jones died first in 2012, then Peter Tork died in 2019 and now Michael Nesmith in 2021.

Looks like it was today.  His Wikipedia page has been updated and says today, as well.

Someone must have edited it again because I'm still seeing his date of death as December 25th, 2021. My guess is it'll be fixed within the next few days and the correct date will be posted.
