"Marisa Pavan, oscar-nominated actress in The Rose Tattoo, dies at 91"
"in 1976, she appeared as Kirk Douglas‘ mentally ill wife in the Arthur Hailey nbc miniseries The Moneychangers, and she played Chantal Dubujak, mother of crime lord Max DuBujak (Daniel Pilon), in 1985 on the abc soap opera Ryan’s Hope.
[Note that Pavan's twin sister Pier Angeli had co-starred with Douglas in 1953 in one of the filmed short stories in Minelli's The Story of Three Loves, in which she played a suicidal girl, whose life Douglas' character saved. Did Douglas sleep with both twins? Did he rape either or both, the way Natalie Wood claimed he'd raped her?]
"Angeli, who dated James Dean before she married singer Vic Damone and portrayed the wife of champion boxer [sic; boxing champion] Rocky Marciano (played by Paul Newman) in 1956’s Somebody Up There Likes Me, died in 1971 at age 39 of a barbiturate overdose at a Beverly Hills apartment. It was never firmly established whether she died by suicide or suffered a reaction to prescribed medication.
[N.S.: Of course, it was firmly established that she had committed suicide. Years later, however, some friends of hers raised a stink, insisting that she'd died from an extremely unlikely medication interaction, and so the msm backed off, and started repeating their fairy tale. Pier Angeli's career, which had had such a promising beginning, was by then DOA.]

ALSO IN THE OBIT DEPARTMENT,NORMAN LEAR EXITS,STAGE LEFT,AT 101
(cbs)Norman Lear, the legendary television producer who created groundbreaking series such as "All in the Family," "Maude," "The Jeffersons","Sanford and Son" and "One Day at a Time," has died, CBS News has confirmed. He was 101.
Lear died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles, family spokesperson Lara Bergthold said in a statement Wednesday.
GRA:I never knew of his politics until later,but watched his shows often.With the right people,"All in the Family" could be done today.Even an amateur like GRA can come up with a few ideas,which I've posted here.
My theory on "Hollywood Liberalism" is simply this:If you're poor,you're a conservative;If you're rich--as everyone famous in Hollywood is,you become liberal--feeling guilty about all the money you made for cranking out tv shows,movies or music.So you sit in this mansion and ponder,"how can I mitigate my guilt over my good fortune?"
And liberalism is born.
So Lear won the life lottery,doing what he wanted--to the end.He(his company) has a reboot of "Mary Hartman,Mary Hartman" scheduled to air on TBS(won't be the same,as that show caught fire at the right time,back in the 70s),which is incredible in itself.How many 80 year olds still function well enough to create programming at that age--or be allowed to?
Next in line,Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke(both a mere 96).
