78 is no age at all when someone still makes you laugh like that. I only know him through Les Boys, watched it with subtitles on a rainy night years ago and couldn't stop laughing at Bob Chicoine. Thinking of his children Gabrielle, Félix and Jeanne tonight.
For Dave Rosello · 22d ago
My dad had a scratchy VHS of old Cubs games he taped off WGN back when he worked in Chicago for a year, and the 1977 walk-off against the Reds was always his favourite clip to show me, Rosello sliding that single through the hole at short. I must have watched it a dozen times as a kid in our kitchen in Munich without ever once watching real baseball. Strange to read his name in an obituary now and hear my dad's voice explaining the play all over again.

lost my grandmother the same way, an illness that just take take takes until there is nothing left to give back. reading this after her family got me sitting here quiet. 72 is no age. hope she went peaceful surrounded by her boys like it says
For Brian Wolfe · 15 Sept 2026
I worked the kitchen at the hotel the Hawks used in Fukuoka back in 2015. Brian always came down late after games, tired, but he'd still say thank you to the cooks like it mattered. Small thing, but you remember it.
For Aracy Amaral · 15 Sept 2026
So much of what I understand about Brazilian modernism comes from her books. She made Tarsila speak across time in such a beautiful way. A real loss for all of us who loved that world.
For Gianfranco Pieri · 14 Sept 2026
Il Professore. Even the nickname sounds like cinema. A man who made the game look like art.
For Ilan Dar · 7 Sept 2026
He said theatre makes you a little better person. Watching him work for seven decades, I believe that was true of him as well. The stage in Tel Aviv feels emptier tonight.
For Yvette Roudy · 4 Sept 2026
Yvette Roudy translated the big books that changed minds, then she changed the laws herself. That's a life.
For Peter Nadas · 2 Sept 2026
I read A Book of Memories in Berlin during a film festival and couldn't leave my hotel room for two days. The way he held the body and memory together, the way nothing was simple. A true European. Gombosszeg lost something irreplaceable.
For Tom Petty · 4 Sept 2025
I grew up with his music in my parents' kitchen. Wildflowers was always playing. He made everything feel possible, you know? Such a loss.
