This book is on my "to read" list. Paul Fussell, perhaps the best memoirist of WWII, thought highly of it, so I dread what I'll find between its covers.

Graves died in 1985 in the town of Deià on Mallorca. Here's a nice picture of his gravestone. I find the cursive appealing.

I was told: "Bowie went away'.

I don't trust a word they say!

For, I heard him singing today <3

Saw "Charade," one of his earlier movies, on TCM a few weeks ago.

He was, of course, great in Cool Hand Luke, but for whatever reason, whenever I think of George Kennedy, the first role that pops into my head is the cigar-chewing airplane mechanic in 1970's Airport. It might be because that's the first role I saw him in while sitting in an actual movie theater back in the day. I didn't see his earlier performances until much later on tv.

RIP George Kennedy - he was great

Recently rewatched the Naked Gun trilogy and he and Nielson were great together. But he was always a great thug/tough guy in his serious roles.

Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini, dead Friday March 4, 2016 at age 70. Curiously, The Prince of Tides was offered as an e-book special, i.e. reduced price, today by at least one service.

I never cared for tennis, but Bud Collins was always an inspiration to my stunning fashion sense.
