RIP car designer Sergio Pininfarina
The world of automotive design has lost another great. Sergio Pininfarina – the honorary chairman of the Pininfarina Group that bears his family name – passed away last night at age 85.Sergio took control of Pininfarina as chairman back in 1966 after his father, Gian Battista 'Pinin' Farina, passed away. He would hold this role until transitioning to honorary chairman in 2006.Over his tenure, his Pininfarina firm worked on design projects for everyone from Alfa Romeo to Chevrolet to Bentley and Volvo, but he is perhaps most known for his work for Ferrari and Maserati. No stranger to edgy aesthetics, Pininfarina presided over designs like the 2002 Ferrari Enzo and the 1984 Ferrari Testarossa before it. Conversely, he was also responsible for some beautifully simple forms, including the lauded 1996 Peugeot 406 Coupe and 2003 Maserati Quattroporte.

My grandfather wanted a specific Andy Griffith gospel song played at his funeral, and all we could find was a medley of AG songs that contained the requested song therein, so at his funeral, we all sat and listened to a ten-minute medley of Andy Griffith's greatest gospel hits, which was not unlike living in morbid, surreal sketch comedy skit.
Anyway, RIP, dude. Your TV show used to bore me to tears as a kid, but my grandfather liked you a lot.

Was shocked to see a mid-90s (likely non-US-compliant) Alfa Spyder the other day. I thought, "How come no one designs cars like that anymore?" RIP.

I associate him with The Poseidon Adventure more than anything else, even though I know he made more famous films. He was just always there.

He was married to both Katy Jurado and Ethel Merman, iirc. Not sure of any other spouses, I guess I'll find out now.

Because of my age, I'll forever associate Borgnine with Airwolf. I've seen him in a lot of other things at this point, but I saw him co-piloting a super helicopter first.

For me he's forever linked to The Poseidon Adventure, a flick which continues to unnerve me deeply to this day.

My nextmost vivid memories of Borgnine aside from The Poseidon Adventure are Disney's The Black Hole and Escape From New York. And, of course:

He really did it all.
