Bye bye, love.
Donald Rumsfeld · 88
July 9th, 1932 — June 29th, 2021
He had a ton of military awards, AND had to resign in disgrace. A well rounded career, we say.

Roddy McDowall
would have been 93 today
September 17th, 1928 — October 3rd, 1998Forgive us if we wax nostalgic for a moment, but our feelings for this actor simply cannot go unspoken. There was something about his face, or maybe it was the way he spoke, that made us just want to kick his teeth in.

Today's Celebrity Deaths:
Cokie Roberts · 75
died 2 years ago today
December 27th, 1943 — September 17th, 2019Her full name was Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Roberts. We'd have probably gone with Cokie too. Just because it was long. Not because of what you are thinking about us right now.

April 24th, 1959 — September 17th, 2000This one, on the other hand, leaves a huge hole in the arts world.

died 22 years ago today
February 3rd, 1928 — September 17th, 1999Sort of a poor man's Anthony Newley. How frightening is that?
Red Hoff · 107
died 23 years ago today
May 8, 1891 — September 17th, 1998He claimed to have struck out Ty Cobb once. Makes a nice story, except that he also claimed to have discovered Jupiter.
