I take the liberty of creating this topic, which existed on the Bethesda.net forum, for the reporting of passings/departures of significance to us.
I begin, fittingly enough, with the Bethesda.net forums themselves. I visited there just before returning here to create this topic. The Community Forum no longer allows postings/replies. That's new since I last visited there earlier today. The end draws nigh.
Also, an ending looms ever nearer in another field I have a special interest in, the Silent Film era. I have been following a Wiki list of surviving silent film actors for years, possibly decades. I've watched that list slowly but steadily decline, as actor after actor passed. It's down to three individuals now. All were, of course, child actors during the silent era. Two are brothers from a large, long-lived family. Seven or eight of them remained on the list for quite some time. The third was an extra in a number of Our Gang (later called Little Rascals) silent era shorts. Her sister, who passed long ago, was an Our Gang lead at the time. Ages range from 92 to 97. There are a few older actors still with us, but they began their careers later in life, thus made no silents.

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)

Well 2021 has taken Betty White. She lived a good life and may she RIP.

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.
