Diana Serra Cary was known as child star Baby Peggy during the silent film era. Only a handful of her films survive, and a couple have been shown on TCM. (Her 1924 version of Captain January predated the Shirley Temple film by 12 years.) Under the name Diana Serra Cary, she became an author and authority on "Old Hollywood" - particularly Westerns. Read The Hollywood Posse. Excellent book.

Also, Hosni Mubarak has died. And Bob Shane and John Simon have also recently passed.

James Lipton, Interviewer Who Let Stars Shine, Dies at 93

Dang... I used to watch this often years ago. One of the best interviewers of actors for Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo/Ovation.... frown

Did he ever answer his '10 Questions' for himself?

  • What is your favorite word?
  • What is your least favorite word?
  • What turns you on?
  • What turns you off?
  • What sound or noise do you love?
  • What sound or noise do you hate?
  • What is your favorite curse word?
  • What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
  • What profession would you not like to do?
  • If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

Aww, that's a shame. A few of us had him.

I saw him conduct Cavalleria Rusticana (the opera seen in GF3) back in 1996 [info] ....

Jimmy Wynn, 78, center fielder for the Houston Astros in the 1960s:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/jimmy-wynn-astros-great-dies-at-78.html

He was a great hitter who had the misfortune of playing in the worst hitters' ballpark in the worst hitters' era of the last 100 years.

Fountains of Wayne had some good tunes.

He was the bassist and joint songwriter, not frontman, BTW.

Drum god Tony Allen dies

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-52497008#

Quote
Pioneering Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, a co-founder of the afrobeat musical genre, died in Paris on Thursday aged 79, his manager says. Eric Trosset told NPR radio that he had died of a heart attack. AFP said his death was not linked to coronavirus. Allen was the drummer and musical director of musician Fela Kuti's famous band Africa '70 in the 1960-70s. Fela, as he was widely known, died in 1997. He once said that "without Tony Allen, there would be no afrobeat". Allen has also been described by UK musician Brian Eno as "perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived". Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, who spent time with Allen in London, called him "one of the greatest drummers to ever walk this earth" and described him as his "hero".

Beninois singer Angelique Kidjo told the BBC's Newsday programme that she had been hit hard by both Allen's death and the passing of Cameroonian saxophone legend Manu Dibango in March. Allen, who was born in Lagos in 1940, taught himself how to play drums when he was 18. He said he learnt his technique by listening closely to American jazz drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

The great Dolphins coach Don Shula has died. He was just about the last of the great coaches of the 70s like Tom Landry, Chuck Knoll, and Bud Grant. Of that class, only John Madden is still with us.
