What a fun trip down memory lane.
I met her on the Superman earthquake set in Quemado NM a hundred years ago. Verrrry sexy and only i-might-have-a-shot pretty. Wasn't hooked into that party scene yet, though, so i couldnt try. And, as i rhapsodized when Gene Wilder passed, Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin in the Bronx is one of the most charming flix of all time.

Margot Kidder, the actress who played Lois Lane in "Superman," died Sunday in Montana ... TMZ has learned.
Margot was at her home when she passed away, according to the spokesperson at Franzen-Davis Funeral Home in Livingston, MT. The cause of death is unknown at this point.
Margot starred opposite Christopher Reeve in 1978's "Superman," and also in the 3 sequels. She continued acting right up until this year, taking small roles in TV shows and movies -- but also had stage roles ... including "The ###### Monologues" on Broadway. She reportedly had 2 more roles yet to be released.
Margot had a very public battle with bipolar disorder for years. During her struggle she was briefly homeless in 1996. Margot became an advocate for mental health after that incident.
She'd been married 3 times, although she'd been single since the '80s.
Margot is survived by a daughter.
RIP

I've always liked Margot Kidder. The first thing I ever saw her in was Black Christmas. She was great in it. Her spunk and humor in interviews always reminded me of Carrie Fisher. Interestingly they both were bipolar, and candid about it. I'm thinking Superman met her at Heaven's Gate. RIP MargotI met her on the Superman earthquake set in Quemado NM a hundred years ago.

She was the perfect Lois Lane.
The original Thin White Duke. We surely don't need to lose any more folk who actually understand America. And Bonfire of the Vanities is behind only Catch-22 & Thomas Harris's first 3 works as the most readable book i've ever experienced. RIP -Tom Wolfe author of 'The Right Stuff' and many other things, dies at 87.
I loved "The Right Stuff" and he was a terrific author.Tom Wolfe author of 'The Right Stuff' and many other things, dies at 87.
Wolfe and Norman Mailer had a great feud back in the 1980s.I loved "The Right Stuff" and he was a terrific author.
I remember once when I was living in NYC, seeing him on the street by the Bryant Park NYPL. He was in a cream three-piece suit with spats, hat, and walking stick. I hung back a little bit and watched him stroll for a few blocks. It was pretty cool to see him on the streets of midtown Manhattan completely in his element like that.
Damn shame what they did to his work in the film version of Bonfire.The original Thin White Duke. We surely don't need to lose any more folk who actually understand America.

Never heard his name but a couple of those look familiar.Will Alsop, architect.
He was a guy who built stuff that we only dreamed of doing while in school.... like one formalist grad-school project after another. as such- pretty hit or miss, especially as urban buildings... subtle, nuanced, contextual they ain't. but so much fun and always inspiring to see what he'd come up with next- color, form, material... constantly pushing the envelope. really influenced a generation of architects and architecture... rip

When I went to college I studied with the goal of being a movie poster designer. I ended up in writing and production but damn if I don’t think of the poster design before I finish the script.

Sports fans know him best as the designer of the Bucks' basketball court at the old Milwaukee Arena. It's pretty tame by modern standards but was revolutionary for its time.
a giant. i'm not so much a fan of him or Salinger (who he reminds me of) because i prefer authors of greater distance and imagination and majesty, but a compelling read when the mood is right. the American Pastoral arc (with I Married a Communist & Human Stain) may be the best an old man has ever written. RIP -Philip Roth
One of the great American authors of the 20th century.... Portnoy's Complaint, American Pastoral, Goodbye Columbus, The Plot Against America, and many more.
I read Portnoy's Complaint when I was too young to appreciate it. I also read his WWII era baseball novel "The Great American Novel" which seemed like Roth had more fun writing than I did reading it. His obvious love for the game and nostalgia for his youth in the 40s shone through his meandering, alliterative sentences.Philip Roth

Yeah, I was trying to think back on who that leaves from that generation of American authors. Herman Wouk (still kicking at 102) is probably the standard bearer, but he is/was more reclusive and not the celebrity of the others.I read Portnoy's Complaint when I was too young to appreciate it.

The death of Roth and Wolfe last week symbolically closes the book on a generation of American writers. It seems like a long time ago when men of letters (and they were all men) like Roth, Mailer, Updike and Vidal were major celebrities. Their talk show appearances were more than current authors' perfunctory chats to plug their latest book. Outside of the occasional genre specialist like King or Martin, modern novelists are niche players virtually unknown outside of their small core audience.
Pynchon and Didion are in their 80s but belong more to the 1960s and never had the popularity or celebrity of the others I mentioned. John Barth and Thomas McGuane come to mind but are even more obscure.Yeah, I was trying to think back on who that leaves from that generation of American authors.

I think Truman Capote could be added to your Roth, Mailer et al list.I read Portnoy's Complaint when I was too young to appreciate it.

Yeah. I've seen clips from Capote being interviewed by Johnny Carson and **** Cavett. He was booked because he was an interesting guest, I don't recall him plugging a book.I think Truman Capote could be added to your Roth, Mailer et al list.
I used to run premade AVs with that guy. :(RIP John 'Totalbiscuit' Bain

Wow, that's an interesting career choice. I never knew that was a specialized profession. The guy was clearly a legend. Great work.

Bill Gold was a legend. The Alien poster is perfection. RIP.
Just read this for the first time last month. The guy certainly seemed to have some demons.RIP Bourdain. Followed him for a long time. Kitchen Confidential is a great read. He will be missed.
Depression is a horrible thingHis shows were about more than just food. On overanalysis of food: "It intrudes on my meal. I like to eat like a child, in an emotional way. I don’t like to overanalyze. I don’t like my food explained with tasting notes. I want to sit down, get a couple of beers, get a buzz, and enjoy my meal."
