Feb 13: No one worth a fux to mention, which brings us to:

 

Johann Joseph Fux, Austrian composer and music theorist - 265 years.

I hope he had a sense of humour.

I know what episode of M*A*S*H I'll be watching tonight then. I didn't actually find out that McLean was dead until Larry Linville died four years later.

More importantly, Wally Cox died in 1973. It is one of the great mysteries of Hollywood that a man who looked like this:

 

WALLY%20COX.jpg

 

was Marlon Brando's lover. And that's still handsome-as-fuck Marlon, not "large donner, large chips, extra mayo" Marlon.

Exposed in an article by Truman Capote, iirc. After which Brando claimed that the Capote technique was for Truman to "moan for hours on end about his own problems", after which Brando "felt he should try telling Capote some of his own".
