Milos Forman, Oscar-Winning Director of 'Cuckoo's Nest' and 'Amadeus,' Dies at 86

The Czech native also helmed 'The Firemen's Ball,' 'Hair,' 'The People vs. Larry Flynt' and 'Man on the Moon.'

Milos Forman, the anti-authoritarian director who left his native Czechoslovakia for creative freedom in the U.S. and captured Oscars for the masterpieces One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Amadeus, has died. He was 86.

Forman, also known for two biopics about controversial Americans — The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Man on the Moon (1999) — died Friday after a short illness, according to his wife, Martina, who broke the news to the Czech news agency CTK.

His manager, Dennis Aspland, confirmed Forman's death to The Hollywood Reporter. The filmmaker died in Danbury Hospital, near his home in Warren, Connecticut.

His Full Metal Jacket (1/2) movie performance is legendary.  Wish I had a $ every time I used this meme on forums.

Is he dead or did he just go home?
I fully expect to hear an announcement in a few weeks telling us how death really wasn't to Mr. Bell's liking and that he's ending it and returning to private life.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

William Nack, Author of Secretariat Book That Spawned the Movie, Dies at 77

Quote
William Nack, the esteemed thoroughbred-racing writer from Sports Illustrated whose book about Secretariat paved the way for the popular 2010 film about the legendary Triple Crown winner, has died. He was 77.

Nack died Friday at his Washington home from complications associated with cancer, his family announced.

Nack spent 23 years at SI through 2001, then penned freelance articles for ESPN, GQ and others. He received seven Eclipse Awards for excellence in writing about horse racing, the first in 1978, the last in 2003.

"He stands among the best sportswriters in the history of the genre, and in many ways, among the best writers of any kind," SI senior writer Tim Layden wrote in a tribute piece. "When he stopped typing, he was a giant personality, full of endless good charm, disarmingly well-read and all times, given to entertain."

In 1973, Secretariat was the first horse to break the two-minute mark in winning the Kentucky Derby, then became the first Triple Crown champion since Citation in 1948 when he captured the Belmont Stakes by a jaw-dropping 31 lengths.

Nack's 1975 book, Secretariat: The Making of a Champion, was adapted by screenwriter Mike Rich for the Randall Wallace film at Disney that starred Diane Lane and John Malkovich. The author appeared in the movie as a reporter and served as a consultant as well . . .
----------------------------------------------------
I have and have read Mr. Nack's Secretariat: The Making of a Champion numerous times. It's the best book I have ever read
about horse racing. And I consider Mr. Nack one of the nation's greatest sportswriters ever---right there with Red Smith, Shirley
Povich, Thomas Boswell, Roger Angell (no, Angell isn't baseball's Homer; Homer was ancient Greece's Roger Angell), Jim Murray,
Barry Svrluga, and Jay Jaffe.

RIP, Mr. Nack. Mrs. Chenery has a hug and a kiss waiting for you through the gates.

One more time, for you, Mr. Nack . . .

Harry Anderson, comic actor of Night Court and Dave's World fame, dies at 65



Anderson first rose to fame in the early 1980s during the "dark era" of Saturday Night Live, as a recurring guest. Originally trained as a magician, Anderson's comic acting skills soon led to a recurring guest role on Cheers, then to his most famous role, that of Judge Harry Stone, the befuddled not-quite-straight man on the long-running sitcom Night Court. Unusually for a sitcom actor, he followed that role up with another successful one, playing real-life columnist Dave Barry for the sitcom Dave's World, which ran four seasons.

Anderson mostly withdrew from the public spotlight after the late 1990s, making occasional guest appearances and spending the last decade of his life in Asheville, North Carolina. He was found dead there April 16 of what his son described only as "natural causes."

NOTE: My previous report on Barbara Bush has been retracted. I cannot verify. Lone link I have found appears to be a fake news link (breaking-cnn.com, which is not the real CNN).

Not finding Barbara Bush story on the "real" CNN site or any other site.  So I think you may be right -- fake.  Grrrrr !

Yes.  To old timers like me, 65 is a spring chicken.  I'm 65.  Kids think I'm ancient.  LOL

Rest in peace, Mr. Anderson and thanks for the laughs.

At one point or another in my life I have drank with, or stood in front of more Judges than I care to remember.  But when they spoke of their courtroom experiences they all said  they dealt with the same type of characters Judge Stone worked with- a womanizing prosecutor, a cynical chain-smoking bailiff, a couple of idealistic public defenders and a steady stream of bizarre and/or hilarious defendants, plaintiffs, and prosecuting witnesses.

RIP Harry.
