Gary Marshall passed away I just found out. They said he was 81 years old. We lost a genius.
Writer-director Garry Marshall, whose TV hits included "Happy Days" ''Laverne & Shirley" and box-office successes included "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride," has died. He was 81. Publicist Michelle Bega says Marshall died Tuesday in at a hospital in Burbank, California of complications from pneumonia after having a stroke.
Marshall also had an on-screen presence, using his New York accent and gruff delivery in colorful supporting roles in movies that included "Lost in America" and "Soapdish."

I just looked him up. I remember him from A League of Their Own. He played Walter Harvey the owner of the league and Harvey Bars. He was Penny Marshall's brother, who directed that film.

Loved Gene Wilder. Stir crazy was a favorite of mine. Gene and Richard was one of the funniest duos on the big screen in my time. Also thought See no evil hear no evil speak no evil (I'm probably butchering that title)was funny. God Speed Gene. One Funny funny cat.

I loved Gene Wilder in every movie he was in. One of my faves....
Apparently he died from complications of Alzheimer's disease. He kept the disease private because he didn't want there to be less smiles in the world. So sad.

Wow Leonard Cohen has died.

Leonard Cohen, the baritone-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter who seamlessly blended spirituality and sexuality in hits like "Hallelujah," ''Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire," has died at age 82.
Cohen's label confirmed a statement on his Facebook page Thursday that he has passed away, and a memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. No further details on his death were given.
"Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free."

Oh fuck! that sucks.
(Been listening to his latest Album 'you want it darker' for a couple weeks now and lyrically it's reminded me in a lot of ways of Bowie's 'Blackstar'.)
i've been listening to "blackstar" a lot , recently , and can't help but try to interpret each song with a sense of impending mortality . i just got "you want it darker" after hearing a review of it on npr , last week . i REALLY like this album , it's sO good , i highly recommend . now i feel like i'm going to listen to it with a different feeling , definitely darker ... i feel strange in both cases - like , thank god they cranked out one more album , but damn , all i can read into them is impending death .
regardless , i'm grateful for his last effort . He will be missed
