In Bali (and in the Himalayas and the foothills of Tibet and Ladakh, where Lewiston recorded soon after), music was still a very local affair,

Cheick Tiote, aged 30. Awful.

actress glenne headly, who was in tons of stuff but who i mainly remember from dirty rotten scoundrels

For some reason despite her lengthy career I remember her most prominently from Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy.

same!

i LOVED her! and i always thought she looked like a somewhat sad or wistful susan sarandon.

she played Bill Paxton's wife in "The Circle" :(

I saw her on the stage in Shaw's Arms and the Man, w/ Kevin Kline and Raul Julia, directed by her then-spouse Malkovich.

She's in a coule good Alan Rudolph films, esp Mortal Thoughts, where she and Demi Moore plot to kill Bruce Willis.

also Lonesome Dove!

her lonesome dove character was pretty damned bleak even by the standards of that series.

Very sorry to hear about Headly. Although it wasn't a great movie, I remember being really pleased to see her as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's mother in Don Jon a few years ago, which was the first time I'd seen her in anything in a long while.

Headly was very sweet as the mother in the grim children's fantasy Paperhouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperhouse_(film))

Adam West :-(

RIP Batman :(

Holy RIP!

Ah man. There's someone who shoulda lived forever.

Answering his final bat signal.

Now is as good a time as any to post the great pilot (and only episode) of Lookwell, the Conan O'Brien/Robert Smigel-created early 90s series starring West.

An absolute legend, that pilot.

Indeed

Comedy gold from beginning to end

RIP best Batman

Hahah I'm seeing Lookwell trending on Twitter. As it should be.

POW! ZAP! RIP!

I watched the hell out of Batman re-runs as a kid. RIP

^^^

I'm also in that demo

If 10 years' worth of family slides weren't currently being looked for, I could post a photo of me in my Bat Cape circa 1966.

In 1983, Adam West wrote a short op-ed about video games. In 2017, I'm tearing up reading it. Sleep easy, Mr. West. And thank you. pic.twitter.com/1J1ouqHDRe
