  3. I found out that Kirk Douglas had died on Facebook. It is big news in my Classic Film Noir 1940-1958 group. I love Douglas and had been dreading this. Rest in peace

  4. Another time I have found out someone has passed from this site, and such a big star. He was 103 and his wife Anne will be 101 in April. His first wife, Diana, Michael’s mother, lived to 92. I think the only other celebrity couple that both made it to 100 was Bob Hope (100) and his wife Dolores (102).

  5. Oft, in the stilly night
    Ere Slumber’s chain has bound me
    Fond Memory brings the light
    Of other days around me

    The smiles, the tears
    Of boyhood’s years
    The words of love then spoken
    The eyes that shone
    Now dimm’d and gone
    The cheerful hearts now broken

    When I remember all
    The friends, so link’d together
    I’ve seen around me fall
    Like leaves in wintry weather

    I feel like one
    Who treads alone
    Some banquet-hall deserted
    Whose lights are fled
    Whose garlands dead
    And all but he departed

    Thus, in the stilly night
    Ere Slumber’s chain hath bound me
    Sad Memory brings the light
    Of other days around me [By Thomas Moore]
