In addition to her better-known work, she had a memorable one-off on Babylon 5.

Made it to 100. That means she wins.

I realized in the 1938 Christmas Carol, June's dad Gene plays Bob Cratchit, her mom Kathleen plays Mrs. Cratchit and a young uncredited June plays one of their daughers. It's sweet that the family is all immortalized together in a movie that has and will continue to be shown for generations
 
The great jazz artist Jack DeJohnette died yesterday at the age of 83. Best known as a drummer, he also was an inventive composer and a pretty solid pianist. No drummer had such a sublime touch on the cymbals. He leave a tremendous body of work, both as a leader and as a sideman for a who's who of jazz.

Peering through the Overton window gives me pause to long for the days of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, et al. Pugnacious until the end. RIP to one of the most influential, controversial and impactful political figures of recent US history.

The quote, “ I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” is often misattributed to Mark Twain, but was in fact said by lawyer and social activist Clarence Darrow. Darrow's original statement was: "I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction".

Anyway, **** Chaney died.

I’m not sure we want this thread to degenerate into this.

Tagliabue saved pro football in New Orleans. Owner Tom Benson had set the wheels in motion for the Saints to move to San Antonio. Tags came down here to talk sense into Benson and put the kibosh on those plans to move.

Agreed.

@Hot Sauce Guy be way more cool than that. If you hated a person or their political opinions or you think they're evil, find another forum to post stuff like that.

Legendary Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai died at age 92. He wasn't as well known in the West as his contemporary Toshiro Mifune but Nakadai starred in a number of classic films like Yojimbo, High and Low, Harikiri and Ran.

The only obituaries I've seen have been poor auto-translations from Japanese so here's an appreciation article from 2008.

The Eighth Samurai: Tatsuya Nakadai

This expansive tribute to the iconic Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai was first published on the Criterion Collection’s website in fall 2005, around the time of the Criterion releases of two films starring Nakadai: Kurosawa’s Ran and the less well-known samurai film Kill! Since that time...

Richardson, NBA star before ban, dies at age 70

Four-time NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson, who was banned from the NBA for drug use, died at the age of 70 shortly after getting diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Terrific underrated player, so fun to watch. Sadly suspended from the NBA in 1986 due to drugs but turned his life around and helped others.

Larry Brooks, NY Post. Mainly NY Ranger beat and overall NHL. His columns for me were must read. I trusted his opinions and insight. He’s recently pushed the Rangers to consider more retirement of numbers.

Back when I used to buy physical newspapers, his was always one of the first articles I'd read. Didn't really follow him much since but he was the man for Rangers info.
RIP
 
Mani from The Stone Roses passed away , RIP

Gary "Mani" Mounfield, bassist with legendary Manchester band the Stone Roses, has died at the age of 63.

Mounfield's bass playing was an integral part of the Stone Roses' "baggy" sound, and later reunited with his bandmates for their comeback tour in 2012.

He joined another seminal group, Primal Scream, in 1996 and played with them for 15 years.

The musician's brother Greg announced his death "with the heaviest of hearts" in a post on Facebook. Oasis singer Liam Gallagher led the tributes, posting: "In total shock and absolutely devastated on hearing the news about Mani. My hero, RIP R Kid."

Vietnam War POW Robert Stirm, seen in iconic 'Burst of Joy' photo with family, dies at 92

Former U.S. Air Force Col. Robert Stirm, a POW during the Vietnam War known for the iconic "Burst of Joy" photo reuniting him with his family, has died in California.
apnews.com apnews.com

It’s the ultimate homecoming photo — a smiling family rushing to reunite with a U.S. Air Force officer in 1973 who spent years as a POW in North Vietnam, his oldest daughter sprinting ahead with her arms outstretched, both feet off the ground. “Burst of Joy,” the iconic black-and-white image capturing the Stirm family at Travis Air Force Base in California, was published in newspapers throughout the nation. Taken by Associated Press photographer Sal Veder, it won a Pulitzer Prize and has continued to resonate through the years, a symbol of the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
On Veterans Day, retired Col. Robert Stirm, seen in the photo in uniform with his back to the camera, died at an assisted living facility in Fairfield, California, his daughter, Lorrie Stirm Kitching, confirmed Thursday. He was 92.
