and General John J. Pershing, who led the AEF on the Western Front in WWI, died 70 years ago (87).

Five years to the day Emile Griffith died aged 75. Bisexual, killed a guy in the ring, was beaten up by a gang for his sexuality, spent his final days in poverty and racked with dementia, and yet there's still no movie about him.

Obviously have to mention it's been a year since June Foray went silent, aged 99. Time sure flies (like a squirrel).
