Marian Robinson, mother of Michelle Obama dead aged 86.

 

DDP Pick

Her obituary in the New York Times mentions that she once asked her son in law if she could meet the Pope. Now I'm kind of curious if she did.

 

(I will say that a cousin of mine had Barack as one of her teachers in law school before he became president, and apparently he did mention his mother-in-law a couple of times. From my own experience in academia, this is pretty common.)

She is a biographer of the Tarkovsky family and her book is coming in the mail to me in 2 weeks.

Actress Alexandra Bastedo, best known as Sharon Macready in The Champions, and latterly had a hilarious turn as Penny Caspar-Morse in Ab Fab, has died of cancer according to a tweet from Peter Egan to the the animal sanctuary she helped to run.

Alexandra Bastedo's sister, Penny Seddon (nee Bastedo) death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/seddon-notices_57683
