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.

She was, indeed, an unparalleled, never to be matched piece of work.

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.
