Ulitzer95 12,638 Posted January 8, 2022 Norman Jewison, who is 96 in July, gives interview about Poitier to The Hollywood Reporter. I would say there's a fair chance of him being around for a few years yet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The award is given to the writers not the performers. Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winning lyricist Marilyn Bergman (wiki) dead from respiratory failure at 93. Her older husband and songwriting partner, Alan (96), survives her ofc. Some of their most notable songs include The Windmills of Your Mind, The Way We Were and You Don't Bring Me Flowers. EDIT: Another weird Poitier-related death. They wrote the music for In the Heat of the Night! 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dodrade 94 Posted January 9, 2022 On 06/01/2022 at 18:41, Slackhurst Broadcasting said: Peter Bogdanovitch would have been big news if he'd died around 1974, when he was riding on a string of hit movies. But his success was mixed up with a very specific moment, when old-fashioned movies could appeal to a vogue for nostalgia for twenties and Depression-era America, what might be called Great Gatsby chic. Inevitably things moved on, and he made two or three films which failed badly, and was never as big again. He was never the same after he left Polly Platt, much like Brian Clough without Peter Taylor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's just as much about them being a big or iconic name as it is shock. To some extent it's about absorbing or digesting news that was unexpected and in another sense its about absorbing news you don't want to be true. And we have a good example today.

A really decent stand alone sci-fi back in the pre-Star Wars era when the average sci-fi flick sucked. The last surviving main cast member too. An exceptionally private individual. Her year of birth was disputed online for years as a result, and I'm not sure if the precise place of her birth is even known (somewhere within LA County). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
