Well there goes one part of my childhood. RIP
I did not watch Rugrats, but I still love Babe.
From http://www.thewrap.com/luise-rainer-first-actress-to-win-consecutive-oscars-dead-at-104/
Rainer took home the top actress trophies in 1936 and 1937 for her roles on “The Great Ziegfeld” and “The Good Earth,” respectively. Only four other actors have since match the feat.
I wonder how she died.
My thoughts go to her family.
I just learned this week that two famous Stones sidemen died within a day of each other this month. I have confirmed via Wiki.
Sax player Bobby Keyes passed Dec 2nd age 70
Keyboardist Ian McLagan passed Dec 3rd age 69.
Keyes has been a mainstay with the Stones since Brown Sugar 1971. He's done virtually every tour since, and always does the sax part for his signature song, plus the other tracks that lend towards sax.
He and Keef were great pals. Keyes played with most of the greats. Toured with Joe Cocker and John Lennon. Played with all of the other Beatles too, McCartney, Harrison and Ringo. Played on some of the great Stones albums.
McLagan was a member of both Small Faces and Faces. Great mate of both Rod Stewart and especially Ron Wood. Toured with the Stones in the '70s and "80s.
He's never been far from the band.
McLagan also played with Cocker.
Meanwhile the Stones themselves keep chuggin along.
Members of the production's Craft Theatre company and paramedics were unable to resuscitate Bonfils.
Chris Hislop, the company's spokesman, said the cast and crew were devastated by the death.
''Kan collapsed during a rehearsal and the director Rocky Rodriguez Jr performed CPR on location."
Mr Hislop added: "The entire company are in shock. There is absolutely severe sadness, it is a real tragedy."
The cause of death is not known.
Dante's Inferno is expected to continue with another actor from the theatre company replacing Bonfils.
Mr Hislop said: ''It was due to open on Thursday. If things go to plan and if the incoming actor is able to do the job we are hoping to open on Saturday.''
Bonfils played a "henchman" in 2012's Skyfall with Daniel Craig and Isagura in 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies with Pierce Brosnan. He also appeared as Jedi master Saesee Tiin in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), opposite Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor.
He also had roles in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life (2003), Batman Begins (2005) and several productions on the West End stage

Among the 12 people killed in this senseless attack were four cartoonists : Charb, Tignous, Cabu and Wolinski. The last two have been with me pretty much all my life. "It's hard being loved by jerks", indeed !

Their cartoons are making us cry today, but they'll keep us laughing at the obscurantist jerks who murdered them.

RIP, Rod, and while I haven't posted it, RIP to the 12 who lost their lives in Paris, and to another member of our Bond family, Kan Bonfils.
