In Memoriam

[ti-amie]

I think 2021 will start in March this year.

The Braves have to re-name their stadium The Hank Aaron stadium. At least for this season.
One of the few men that can be named in the same sentence with Jackie Robinson, Ali, Kareem and Owens.
May the universe welcome him back.

Larry King has died from Covid at age 87. The only anchor from CNN I still remember.

[ponchi101]

I was not very high in his interviewing style, but he was certainly an icon. A loss for the news community.

[Deuce]

I've just learned that Don Sutton, Dodger pitcher from 1966 to 1980, died of cancer on January 18th - just 11 days after his Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda died.

That's 3 baseball greats who've died this month - and the month isn't over yet.

[ponchi101]

Missed that one, indeed. The Dodgers will have a slow and not very happy opening day ceremony.

Ah man. I loved Cloris.

[JazzNU]

And learned something new about her today! I had no idea she was in the Miss America pageant.

Goodbye, Frau Blücher

Raising Hope didn't do very well in the ratings, but she was so much fun to watch in anything she did.

The Last Picture Show is a brilliant film

A legend. Rest in power Queen Cicely.

[shtexas]

Two acting legends lost. May they both rest in peace.

I'm crushed by both of these. Cicely... Such a treasure. And Cloris... One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen is in the North Avenue Irregulars when she breaks her nails.

I'll share a clip of Cicely shortly. One of my favorites.

[dryrunguy]

I can't find a good clip of my favorite Cicely scene. It's from Fried Green Tomotoes where she laments how a white person won't eat next to Black people... "But he eats eggs... Shoots straight outta chicken's ass!"

RIP to both.
