Sidney Poitier, first black man to win best actor Oscar, dead at 94.

I probably enjoyed "Guess who's coming to dinner" best of his films, although it's probably been 30 years since I watched it. Curious how it'd hold up these decades later, through the lens of todays political & racial climate.

"Guess who's coming to dinner" was probably the best of his films, but I also enjoyed a lesser known film..."Brother John". Here is a clip near the end of the film that is worth watching:

Angela Lansbury - 96

I read that she moved to France to extract her kids from Charles Manson's influence, and to get them away from the Hollywood heroin scene they were in. Turned down work while in this period.

Well shit. First comedian I remember watching. Feel like WGN or whatever the hell the Chicago network is used to play his routines quite a bit.
