This year was such a blur that I didn't realize that Victor Skrebneski, the famed Chicago photographer, had died just this April.

Lee Grant, 95 (and working again!)

Lee Grant is a hero for all times, and has outlived everyone who tried to destroy her career back in the 1950s by some margin.

Larry Niven, 82. I think I'm confusing him with Jerry Pournelle, who is dead.

What’s the difference between Larry Niven and Jeremy Piven
― is right unfortunately (silby), Thursday, 19 November 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link
Jeremy Piven never wrote a pokerfaced hard-SF essay about how Superman could not fuck Lois Lane because his ejaculate would fire through the top of her skull like a machine gun
...that we know of.
