I really hope this is not repeating. Peter Straub who actually liked soaps died on the 4th.

Bernard Shaw harkens back to good old days of CNN. Such a strong, steadying presence.

 

 

Again I hope I'm not repeating, but I don't see it. I don't know why they picked yesterday but USA TODAY has done a picture heavy 'Who Has Died in 2022 So Far'

Who Has Died In 2022 as of 9-7-22

They say Anne Heche died on the 14th, so now it's in print as the 11th, the 12th and new as of yesterday the 14th. Crazy, surreal, etc.

Anyway, there may be some interest here because of the large number of people with pictures.

Coroner's report shows date of death to be the 11th.

"The coroner's office listed Aug. 11 as her date of death."

Goodbye, Marsha Hunt. End of  an era.

I don't remember whose memoir or film tell-all it was - maybe the recent book on Rebel Without a Cause (which she left/was booted from) - which said she introduced herself to the cast and crew as 'I used to be Marsha Hunt,' IIRC not long after being blacklisted. What a history.

 

 

First William Klein, now this. A complex and at times punishing but still staggering legend. RIP. I've been meaning to dig deeper into his '80s work (after loving Every Man for Himself with Isabelle Huppert, very different from his classic films and experimenting with speed and motion) and I'll watch First Name: Carmen today (along with another Klein film). My Life to Live (Vivre Sa Vie) will never be equalled.

With Godard gone, that’s it for the great French New Wave directors. He was the greatest of them all.

The NYT obit for Godard, which I assume has been ready for quite some time given JLG’s advanced age:
