Johnny Dumfries, former F1 driver with Lotus and Le Mans winner with Jaguar has died aged 62. Might have had more success had he not had the misfortune to be Ayrton Senna’s Number 2

Always watchable with a impish expression at times. I likened him to Jack Lemmon a bit. He had a cameo role as a cad in Look Who's Talking and appeared on TV's Larry Sanders Show as the guest who could always be relied on to fill in at the last moment. I enjoyed those minor performances just as much as anything more distinguished that he did.

There are now two fewer American writers.
RIP much-loved children's author Beverly Cleary. When I was a young sprout my favorite of her characters, wee Ramona Quimby, set a high bar for headstrong willfulness which I did my best to emulate. Clearly lived to 104. Ramona will live longer.

RIP Larry McMurtry, whose main theme, broadly speaking, was the American West. His books often became successful films but were still much better as books. Dead at 84.

yes indeed. She was also a Miss America contestant (finishing in top 16 as Miss Chicago...late 1940's i think)

Interesting that so much of her long, long career was in service to comedy yet her Oscar was for a role that was decidedly not comedic.

G. Gordon Liddy, unrepentant Watergate burglar who became talk show host, has died
Turned his Nixon era infamy into a successful TV and talk show career

Also starred in one of the very great war movies, well prisoner of war, King Rat. Gave a brilliant performance in a brilliant movie, well worth a watch if you have the time.
