Maybe not everyone's favorite, but she had an amazing number of country & western, pop and rock 'n roll #1 hits. Plus, she was a pretty good dancer (she could keep up with John Travolta). Olivia Newton-John succumbs to cancer.

It may be nearly half a century since any of us heard anything from her, but it was a very big deal in 1973 when Sacheen Littlefeather refused an Academy Award on behalf of Marlon Brando.

Raquel Welch, who was much more talented than her sex goddess image allowed. Her comedic performance in "The Three Musketeers" was priceless. She was a classy woman.

The Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner.

My wife and I saw her perform (front row seats) just over 50 years ago, when it was the Ike & Tina Revue, and she was explosive. For my money - Ike, the band, the backup singers were all just along for the ride. Nobody saw or heard anything except Tina.

Daniel Ellsberg, a true American hero, who blew the whistle on the lies that the government told about Vietnam. As someone old enough to remember this travesty, I am still appalled about the thousands who died for no logical reason. Ellsberg taught us that we should not blindly trust the powers-that-be.

He may have been the single best example of why a democracy needs a free press.

Add to that:
Robbie Robertson, 80, Dies; Canadian Songwriter Captured American Spirit

And if you haven't seen Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz (1978, available on DVD), now would be a good time.

If you weren't a fan of Friends and want to see a different Matthew Perry, try Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, written by Aaron Sorkin. The first three episodes are well worth a watch.

Robert Montgomery Knight, college basketball coach at Army, Indiana and Texas Tech.
He could be fatherly, charming, erudite, and a jerk. A complicated man, but undoubtedly a great BB coach.

A major influence in US and world politics and policies, Henry Kissinger lived to be 100 and presumably saw the successes and failures of his works. He should not be confused with Charles Munger, a business associate of Warren Buffett (both of Berkshire-Hathaway fame, which is currently trading at over $500,000 per one share) and a big fan of See's Candies, who only lived to be 99.
