“There is no bitterness, only great respect and affection between Sinatra and his first wife,” Gay Talese wrote in 1966. “And he has long been welcome in her home and has even been known to wander in at odd hours, stoke the fire, lie on the sofa, and fall asleep.”

Just got out of an imdb clickhole, and found that screenwriter & 70s game show stalwart (and husband of the late Patti Deutsch) Donald Ross died last month.

Making Plans For Sturgill (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:47 (seven years ago)

RIP. Probably deserves a mention on Old time actors and directors that you were surprised to find out were married to each other once upon a time

Pwn Goal Picnic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:53 (seven years ago)

Not because of surprise, but because of the Match Game/Tattletales subtheme tie-in

Shinobu Hashimoto, co-screenwriter of Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress and some other movies you may have heard of, exactly 3 months after his 100th birthday.

in b4 official announcement of prince phillip, dead from racism poisoning at 146 years old

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 13:53 (seven years ago)

Not convinced, looks quite like a couple of other hoaxes so far. But guess we'll see at 5.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:16 (seven years ago)

maybe he's going to be a dad again and someone misheard

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:19 (seven years ago)

He's just dead, dead racist.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:20 (seven years ago)

Think it's a slightly old-fashioned midlands thing to use 'dead' as a general intensifier, do other parts of the country / world do that? It's a feature in Mandarin too.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:21 (seven years ago)

the scots think it's pure dead brilliant too

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:22 (seven years ago)

Every time someone starts a rumour about Prince Philip being dead, it adds another five years to his life. Please gossip responsibly.

Def an Edinburgh thing at least. Dead keen. Deid annoying. Dead tired.

Minister of the Pillow (fionnland), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:57 (seven years ago)

'Dead wrong' is probably nationwide.

The Vogue obituary is the one to read https://www.vogue.com/article/lucy-birley-obituary
