@ACT_1 most people are going to remember her as Mrs. Banks, the suffragette, and mother, in “Mary Poppins”.

she had a better career on stage. She was the one who created the lead role in “A Little Night Music” and was the first to sing “Send in the Clowns” from that show.

I like his kind and warm face expression on the image. He also looks sad, but grateful and dignified somehow, fitting to the sad occassion. Carl Weathers truly got my attention in Rocky, when I first saw the movie. He was very impressive. My thoughts are with Mr. Stallone, Schwarzenegger and the bereaved of Carl Weathers.

@Tsarstepan I’m glad you reported his death. I came in here to do but got rocked when I saw that Norman Jewishness had died, and forgot all about Carl Weathers. Here is the article where I had learned of his passing. He was honored by Jamie Fox, Snoop Dogg and others. It is easier to just read the article and it mentions several of his films that act 1 doesn’t. https://conservativeinstitute.org/conservative-news/snoop-dogg-mariska-hargitay-and-others-pay-tribute-to-carl-weathers-following-his-death.htm

Alexei Navalny (June 4 1976 - 16 February 2024)

He died under suspicious circumstances in Russian prison. He was a Russian anti-corruption activist and one of the most persistent opponent of Putin.

Alexei Navalny death: Team accuses Russia of 'hiding' his body - BBC News

He was also the subject of last year's oscar-winning documentary, Navalny (2022). There are not many people who are as courageous as he was.

Totally agree in each point! He was a hope for a stable and durable peace in Europe.

You wouldn't understand how I felt when I saw the news. I was in tears. The last hope was

gone that the aggressors would agree only the slightest basic rules of humanity.

On the other hand I don't unstand him going back until the dirt is dug out.

Truthfully, I’m hearing about a ton of people, mostly musicians, are dying off in droves. It is hard to keep up. I come here to see if they are major note. A lot of them are minor stars.

The keyboard man of Steely Dan, Donald Fagan, just died. The bizarre joke is that The Eagles” and “Steely Dan” used to have a musical Freitas where they put cuts and references to each other in their songs. Yes, the words “”Steely knives” in “Hotel California” - “They gathered for the feast
Stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast” refers to Steel Dan dissing the Eagles (aka: ‘The beast”). The joke of this that on the Eagles current farewell tour, their guess band is Steely Dan and Fagan dies before the tour is over. A sad joke that is at that too. Rest In Peace. Your music is great too.
