I read his memoir, “Walking with the Wind” about 20 years ago. Still sticks with me — one of the most amazing and inspirational life stories that I’ve ever read.
Was coming to post the same.
this happened to my wife while were in Curacao. she wanted to take pictures of fish.. went out for a swim, hugging the shore which after a few hundred yards was just cliffs. she was snorkeling, not coming up above water.. just toodling along enjoying the scenery. she went around a bend where i could no longer see her, but i assumed she was fine.
C.T. Vivian too. Another iconic activist up there with MLK and John Lewis. Both died on the same day.Seeing reports on Twitter that Rep. John Lewis passed away. One of the greats.

One of the all time greats. Sad that mental illness and drug addiction derailed his career early on.
The embodiment, if not the soul, of television. Not a classic broadcaster - a rather good boy singer when Italians were dominating the market, then throat problems closed that door - he grasped the magic power of the medium. Relationships. The box works best when it makes you care about Sam & Diane, worry if Walter White is in over his head this time, wonder what a Wednesday nite hang at the BaDaBing would be like. So he hung out on the Joey Bishop Show as whipping boy, stood in for any fool w a show who asked him to, became Letterman's comedy gofer and finally found a format to have a cup of coffee with America and ended up becoming its best friend.
Got a call from my nephew about 15 years back saying he was going to New York City for the first time and asked me what he should see.
No offense to Regis but I would still be disappointed if that was who the guest was if I only got to see one Letterman show.
Losing too many greats in 2020. I think her best acting performance (that I’ve seen anyway) was in The Heiress, one of her Oscar wins.
Wow , weird timing. A friend of mine and I were just discussing her amazing longevity the other day.
Always remembered him as the creepy bad guy (a Jim Jones clone) in the first episode of The A-Team that debuted after Super Bowl 17.
I began watching old movies in 2010 and noticed a few older stars for the first time. Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine. Joan and Olivia were Oscar winners. I had no idea they were sisters both lived long lives, Joan 96 and Olivia 104. They had a rivalry that lasted till Joan's death so basically a lifetime. ===>> The Lifelong Feud Between the Sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine The rivalry between the actresses encompassed their childhood, careers, love lives, and even the Academy Awards.
IIRC he was also in a couple of MST3k movies. Always seemed to play bad guys, though.
definitive TV corporate baddie of the 60s & 70s. you could see the seethe & scheme play across face but still feel the chill of his command. RIP -
He has looked 85 for the past 30 years. It's hard to believe he was only 50 when he made Cocoon. R.I.P.
His character was supposed to be the same age as Don Ameche (born 1908) and Hume Cronyn (born 1911).
Yup. Matthew McCaugnhey turned 50 today. Wilfred just like to rock the grandpa look.
