Tributes

For V Harish · 4d ago

My son in law is Tamil and he put one of Harish's videos on my phone about two years ago, something on index funds explained plain and simple. My wife and I started watching his new ones most Sunday mornings with our coffee, even though half the numbers were in rupees and meant nothing to us. 27. That's the only number that matters this morning.

For Vladimir Baranov · 14d ago

70. Saw Russian Ark years back at a film festival here in Arizona, that one shot still gets me every time I think about it. Thinking of his daughter tonight, wishing her strength through this.

For John Murray "Hippie Jack" Stoddart Jr. · 25d ago

75 is no age at all. Thinking of Lynne and the kids, Avery, Jason, Jessica and Silas, this week.

For Sergei Tchepikov · 17 Sept 2026

Watched him win that sprint gold in Lillehammer with my dad on our old TV, 1994, we didn't even really understand biathlon but we were hooked for the week. Didn't know much about him after that, just the name stuck. 59 is no age.

For Marly Kinney · 16 Sept 2026

My father used to talk about Marly all the time. Loved their work. He's going to be devastated when he hears.

For Rodney Charters · 16 Sept 2026

My dad used to say watching 24 was like watching someone paint with light. That was Rodney's gift. He made you feel the tension in every shot, every scene. Grateful for the artistry he shared with us.

For Tone Capone · 12 Sept 2026

Grew up on Tone's beats in the '90s and early 2000s. That bass, those samples from the funk records, the soul in every track. He showed us what Oakland sound really meant. He's gone too soon and the game is quieter now.

For Kenneth Treister (FAIA) · 8 Sept 2026

A man who understood that architecture is part of the land and the memory. He planted beauty everywhere. Winter Haven, Miami, Israel, the Bahamas. The gardens he imagined will outlast all of us.

For Francisco Resendez · 5 Sept 2026

Don Paco gave Los Simpsons a home in our language. Eight seasons of perfect work. That's a legacy that doesn't fade.

For Peter Nadas · 3 Sept 2026

Read A Book of Memories in a single sitting years ago and haven't been the same. The way he held memory and body together, unflinching. I think of that book often when I'm in the garden, watching things grow and decay at once.

For Mark Rydell · 13 Aug 2026

Ninety-seven years of creating beauty and teaching others to do the same. Mark Rydell showed us that a director's real job is to serve the story and the actor. We're better for his life's work.
