tracy

Reginald Hsu, Miiko Taka's widower, dead at 94. Which I only mention because he got a normal confirmed obituary whereas his more famous wife couldn't scrape a single thing... makes sense...

Definitely two very different people having a conversation in this thread at the moment.

Daniel Ellsberg is a hit for myself. New round: 1923: Ezekiel Guti / Ruth Stiles Gannett 1924: Jimmy Carter / Eva Marie Saint 1925: Jacques Delors / June Lockhart 1926: Tony Bennett / Marilyn Knowlden 1927: Lee Montague / Cleo Laine 1928: Frank Borman / Ethel Kennedy 1929: Peter Angelos / Winnie Ewing 1930: Sonny Rollins / Joanne Woodward 1931: Willie Mays / Mitzi Gaynor 1932: Joe Schmidt / Piper Laurie

Daniel Ellsberg dead at 92.

I've mentioned him a few times, but Peter Angelos is certainly in immortal territory by now. He's been incapacitated since a collapse in 2017 triggered by severe heart failure, and has long suffered from advanced dementia. 94 next month and hasn't been seen in ages. How the fuck he is still alive is an extreme mystery.

I'll go with David Attenborough.

Well, here's a WaPo obit for you.

Cormac McCarthy dead at 89.

Treat Williams dead at 71 after motorcycle accident.

Noreen Nash is a hit for Hell: https://obituaries.neptunesociety.com/obituaries/sherman-oaks-ca/noreen-whitmore-11320540 1923: Ezekiel Guti / Ruth Stiles Gannett 1924: Jimmy Carter / Eva Marie Saint 1925: Jacques Delors / June Lockhart 1926: Tony Bennett / Marilyn Knowlden 1927: Lee Montague / Cleo Laine 1928: Frank Borman / Ethel Kennedy 1929: Peter Angelos / Winnie Ewing 1930: Sonny Rollins / Joanne Woodward 1931: Daniel Ellsberg / Mitzi Gaynor 1932: Richard Lester / Piper Laurie

Iron Sheik dead.

Robert Hanssen, former FBI agent who spied for Soviet and Russian intelligence, dead in prison at 79.

It was already denied by his manager.

Now Barry Newman is worryingly dead. DDP pick. The article confirms he was born in 1930, not the 1938 reported everywhere.

Amitai Etzioni is a hit for diego. Congrats. 1923: Ezekiel Guti / Ruth Stiles Gannett 1924: Jimmy Carter / Eva Marie Saint 1925: Jacques Delors / June Lockhart 1926: Tony Bennett / Marilyn Knowlden 1927: Lee Montague / Cleo Laine 1928: Frank Borman / Ethel Kennedy 1929: Peter Angelos / Winnie Ewing 1930: Sonny Rollins / Joanne Woodward 1931: Daniel Ellsberg / Mitzi Gaynor 1932: Richard Lester / Piper Laurie

LBJ's Secretary of the Navy Paul Ignatius is still going, although his post was bumped down from the cabinet before he served. He'll be 103 in Nov. Based on this interview from last month, he looks very good for his age. Certainly better than ol' Hank.

It'll be ok my friend.

I think it's fairly safe to say, based on that AP article, Carter isn't on death's door as of right this second. So I just said fuck it and picked Lear at random.

With Anger dying May 11 and Rolf dying May 10, that's two hits I had that beat Adamkienė to the punch but weren't announced until way later. To spite me obviously.

Kenneth Anger dead at 96.
