Another great gone. And he was prolific. He will be missed. Tomorrow CBS Sunday Morning will do their annual farewell and this year seemed particularly tough. The list is full this year.

While I definitely remember Tom Wilkinson from what the news reports say he is “most well known from The Full Monty”, many other roles, both major and minor, have stayed with me, especially his performance in “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” He will be missed. May he Rest in Peace.

Hanna Eshel died back in September, but like so much else in her life, word is getting out late.

This article is a . I strongly urge people to read it before the link expires in two weeks.

Her Sculptures Were Ignored for 33 Years. Then She Got a New Roommate.

Hanna Eshel did not succeed in the New York art world. Her only reliable exhibit space was her own loft. But a musician in search of a home changed that.

www.nytimes.com

Standing in the front sculpture gallery was the loft’s resident sculptor, painter, Zen garden custodian and leaseholder: Hanna Eshel. At 85, she was looking for someone to help pay the rent.

Mr. Luke agreed to move in on the spot.

He assumed, at first, that Ms. Eshel was a world-famous artist whom he had never heard of — an embarrassing thought, since Mr. Luke made a living partly as a consultant to art galleries for the online marketplace 1stdibs.

After leaving, he looked Ms. Eshel up. Nothing seemed to have been written about her. It was as if, outside the private world of the loft, she did not exist.

And Elsie, the sweet grandmother, in "While You Were Sleeping." Her character was fussed over because her health wasn't great and she didn't look spry. But the actress lived almost 30 more years. RIP

 

[my little pony]

she gave a cute interview for the local news where she lives on her recent birthday, she was sharper than I am (faint praise). I loved her voice.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

I'm guessing that this is noted in the linked story, but I wanted to add here that she earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for the 1960 film "The Sundowners".

RIP to PDQ Bach. Playing his "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion" is one of my favorite memories from high school band. Our version featured a rubber chicken, among other things.

She was wonderful in "Mary Poppins," but the role I remember her for the most was in "While You Were Sleeping." She had a long and varied career.

I had the opportunity to play for the Sonata for Viola Four Hands once. Throw The Yule Log On Uncle John was another one I got to sing a lot. But my all time favourite is Bluegrass Cantata. (Start around 6 minutes in)

I was sorry to hear about Tom. I remember watching the Smothers Bros. every week with my family. I also loved the fact that both Tom and Dick was against racism of any kind.

RIP, Tom. You'll be missed.

Very interesting that the caption makes reference to the Kingston Trio, because that song is not one they were known for (unless you are an uber-fan and have all their albums). The album it was on, Stay Awhile from 1965, only made it to #126 on the charts, and was one of the last ones they made before they broke up two years later.
