I just learned of the passing, yesterday 21 Oct, of a conductor I greatly admired during my early years as a classical music listener: Bernard Haitink, 4 Mar 1929 - 21 Oct 2021. During the early to mid/late 1970s he was possibly my favorite conductor. I later switched my allegiance to more fiery conductors, but still value some of his interpretations. He had a long, active career, conducting until only a few years ago. His late 60s / early 70s Philips recording of Mahler's 5th symphony, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, introduced me to the piece. This video of its adagietto is a much more recent recording, but a fitting tribute: (video) Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.5, adagietto - Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam - Bernard Haitink (video)

People magazine prematurely released a Betty White 100th birthday issue, two days before Ms White departed.

The Surviving Silent Film Actors roster is now reduced to a measly two, following the passing of Mildred Kornman on 21 Aug 2022, age 97. (link) Here's her Wikipedia entry (link) Note that Wikipedia has her pass on the 19th. Other sources say the 21st. This post has been edited by Decrepit: Aug 23 2022, 01:18 PM

QUOTE(Acadian @ Oct 11 2022, 04:08 PM) Rest in peace, Dame Angela Lansbury, who died today at the age of 96. Astonishing actress and I'll miss her.
Sad to hear, she was a classy actress.

Didn’t he just start the Star Wars series Ahsoka? Yes. I think he is the villain. I also think the filming (at least his part) is already done. Because I have seen pictures of him in the role. So I expect we will see him in that soon.

QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Aug 2 2023, 09:14 PM) RIP Paul Rubens aka Pee Wee Herman, man this year has taken some legends . Wow, this one came as a shock to me! Guess I’m getting to that age where I can begin to expect more people I grew up watching passing on.

The losses that hit the hardest for me was Leonard Nemoy, James Horner, Meatloaf, Vangelis and Robin Williams. Paul Rubens I wasn't too big of a fan but I did enjoy watching Pee Wee's Playhouse. Still it sucks losing these legends as one day I'll wake up and most of the people from my youth will be gone . This post has been edited by Dark Reaper: Aug 4 2023, 02:05 AM

His career was very deep and varied though. I respect that.
