Sir Creep 7,069 Posted June 8, 2015 Karen DeCrow, supporter of women’s rights and gender equality, died on Friday in her home in Jamesville, New York. She was 76 years old. According to Rowena Malamud, DeCrow’s longtime friend, the women’s rights activist died from melanoma. DeCrow’s friends described her as the “perfect model” for women’s rights movement. DeCrow was the President of the National Organization for Women (NOW) from 1974 to 1977. Was all I could do to not post this in Somewhere Over the Rainbow without further evidence. Had she never changed her name I would have, as that's the fly in the ointment. Feminist, NOW, no mention of marriage/kids, and Rowena the "longtime friend"; pah-leeez. So I stuck it in this catch-all thread. SC http://www.inquisitr.com/1287912/gender-equality-trailblazer-and-feminist-lawyer-karen-decrow-dies-at-76/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,556 Posted June 8, 2015 Richard Johnson, British actor, 87. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33036755 He was in amongst others, Khartoum, The Four Feathers, Anthony and Cleopatra and The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. I saw him play Anthony in Anthony & Cleopatra in 1991 at the RSC I am hoping that his original attempt 20 years earlier was a lot better. His Anthony was too old and a bit bluff and his death scene was unitentionally comic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,623 Posted June 9, 2015 Can't think of a more likely thread than this but just heard that Reg Doyle, formerly Britain's top fireman (i.e. HM Chief Inspector of), has died. Likely to be national obit in a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
