  • Damn! He was great in Ulee's Gold, and Easy Rider. He actually did a lot of biker films in the sixties, and I more recently saw him in 3:10 to Yuma. Good actor. RIP!!!

              Paule Marshall, an exuberant and sharpened storyteller who in books such as “Daughters” and “Brown Girl, Brownstones” drew upon classic and vernacular literature and her mother’s kitchen conversations to narrate the divides between blacks and whites, men and women, and modern and traditional cultures, has died at age 90.

              Marshall died Monday in Richmond, Va., her son Evan said. She had been suffering from dementia in recent years.

                Damn. I don't own either film, haven't even seen Pink Panther. Sucks that a guy responsible for such an impact on my childhood (particularly Roger Rabbit) is now gone.

                              Pulitzer nominee Russ Conway, known for his coverage of hockey and Alan Eagleson, passes away at 70.

                              Conway's Pulitzer-nominated "Cracking The Ice" series of articles on Alan Eagleson and the NHLPA was key to Eagleson's downfall and eventual imprisonment.
