Was on line behind him once at my neighborhood gift shop and recognized him instantly. Classic.

Best known for being Taylor Negron in so many movies!! Even a brief appearance from him is always memorable!

Sunset Strip legend Kim Fowley, manager/producer/co-writer of early work by Kiss, Alice Cooper, Warren Zevon, and - probably most famously - The Runaways, has died of cancer, aged 75.

Ernie Banks, baseball star and an excellent fellow. Ernie was a Chicago Cubs legend and a Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree.

He was perhaps the best-known figure in Chicago sports history, and certainly in Chicago baseball. Bears fans might say Sweetness was The Man, but Ernie would be second on that list.

Mr. Cub. RIP Class act. Too bad they didn't have expanded playoffs in his time.

Not a Chicagoan or that much of a basketball fan, but a certain #23 for the Bulls was a bit popular in his day :)

Christine Thompson (nee Harvey) a school friend of mine. Cancer again. I didn't even know she had it until today.

I caught up with Christine and many other school friends a few years ago on Facebook after being out of touch for many years. I was so glad to have her back in my life. She leaves behind a husband and 2 young daughters.

Oh, the singer from Visage, not the comic book character. I was confused there for a minute. But it's the new romancer, not the necromancer, who has passed.

Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 with her epic song of teenage angst "It's My Party", has died at 68. Gore's other hits include She's A Fool, Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, which Marvin Hamlisch co-wrote, That's the Way Boys Are and Maybe I Know. She co-wrote with her brother, Michael, the Academy Award-nominated Out Here On My Own from the film Fame. Gore came out as Lesbian later in life, no doubt posthumously breaking a lot of teenage boys' hearts.

Randomly, she also played Catwoman's sidekick "Pussycat" on the 60s TV show Batman, where her hit "California Nights" was premiered:
