How is this possible? I'm pretty sure Michael Nesmith is still 19 and living in San Antonio.

Joan Didion at 87, slouching towards Bethlehem. I read Play It As It Lays as a sophomore in college and then devoured most of her non-fiction.

I've never read any fiction from Joan Didion, but her essays and nonfiction writings are phenomenal. She wasn't a sensationalist writer, but her writing was sensational. I was assigned Slouching Towards Bethlehem in college and thought it was head and shoulders over Tom Wolfe and Hunter Thompson. She had inserted her points of view into her stories, but it never appeared to be done as a sales gimmick. RIP

Joan Didion was one of the truly great writers of the 20th century. Once you start something of hers, you can't put it down.

Didion’s review of Woody Allen’s Manhattan, which caused a stir at the time.

Thanks for posting this. I've read reviews of this review, but never the actual review.

Every time I read her, I'm like, "yep, she nailed it."

She seems to go in and out of fashion, but nail it she does. Her work stands for itself. Sometimes her sentences are so perfect and so full of nuance that I read them over and over. Sorta like linear haiku.

Jean-Marc Vallée, 58, Canadian filmmaker of Dallas Buyers Club, Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects, and Wild. No reports of cause of death yet...he died suddenly, apparently.

****, guy was my age.

That's too bad. He was always interesting on Science Friday appearances.

He was a great scientist; he will be missed. He made many valuable contributions to science and research and knowledge.

RIP John Madden. He was tremendous.

I remember listening to him talk about attending a Niners (I think) game as a teen with his buddy John Robinson (both attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help) and IIRC they hitchhiked and got picked up by an asst. coach and talked football the whole ride.

Also remember hearing about his talks with Al Davis, IIRC again Madden believed your built your D around your DTs and Al thought it was built around your CBs.

He was a GIANT.
