I just saw this in the Guardian. The article was talking about the influence of Wednesday as a character and then mentioned she had a stroke and passed away.

This year is really sucking so far

 

[Andora]

It feels like 2016 again, where celebrities seemed to drop like flies...

But I think it's going to be a bit of the norm, somewhat. As entertainment has evolved, the number of famous people has grown exponentially compared to the '50s, '60s and '70s, first with the advent of more channels on Cable TV (MTV/MuchMusic included), and then reality TV, and now influencers, etc. etc. etc.

 

[MacMadame]

Also, for this group that skews older, we're at an age where our peers and the generation just before us that we grew up with are now at the age that people often die.

Another one. I remember that song Money.

Barrett Strong, Motown artist known for ‘Money,’ dies at 81

NEW YORK (AP) — Barrett Strong, one of Motown’s founding artists and most gifted songwriters who sang lead on the company’s breakthrough single “Money (That’s What I Want)” and later collaborated with Norman Whitfield on such classics as “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “War” and “Papa Was a...

Anyone who was a teenager in the 70's, listening to the radio would hear a BB at least once an hour.

If you look at his Wiki list of songs it is amazing. Here is a 60 Minutes piece that was made 20 plus years ago. Amazing that he kept going for two decades more. RIP https://youtu.be/y33haDJ3QWY

Carlos Saura has passed away

https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/02/10/carlos-saura-spanish-director-dead/

I remember being blown away by his film Carmen. I hadn't seen anything like it until then. It felt so down to earth, completely believable (and not a glossy Hollywood dance film at all).
Here my favourite scene, La tabacalera

I did not know him. Thank you for posting this. RIP

Saura’s film Carmen is a masterpiece; everyone I know who saw it was blown away. RIP to a filmic genius.

I did not know him. Thank you for posting this. RIP

He earned 3 nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, never won. In 1984 his Carmen lost to Bergman's Fanny and Alexander (I'd favoured Carmen)

Yahoo is reporting Raquel Welch died. She was 82. Also TMZ

Raquel Welch Dead at 82

Raquel Welch, who paved the way as both an actress and international sex symbol has died ... TMZ has learned.

[once_upon]

I think so many of us who were first introduced to Raquel when she was in one million BC film, might forget all her other films/accomplishments. Her business of wigs - which I believe still existed for women undergoing chemo or hair loss from other conditions. Her comedic roles.

 

[Jot the Dot Dot]

Raquel could also sing and dance, and entertained American troops. Her iconic role as a sex-symbol steered it in a different look than that set by Marylin Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. Raquel singing
