I remember watching Ms. White on game shows in 1950's and 1960's. I think she was married Alan Lunden of "Password".
I like this quote of hers.

Legendary director Peter Bogdanovich has died at age 82. Among his many movies are The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon.
Peter Bogdanovich, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last Picture Show whose career, which also included hits like What’s Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, put him on a path toward living up to the example of those like Orson Welles and John Ford he so lionized, has died. He was 82.

Bogdanovich, whose ever-present horn-rimmed glasses and ascot imbued him with a professorial air as he recounted the Hollywood lore he relished, catapulted to A-list status with his second film, The Last Picture Show (1971). The black-and-white drama set in a Texas town earned eight Academy Awards nominations — including directing and adapted screenplay (shared with Larry McMurtry) for him — and supporting acting awards for Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson.

"The Plot Thickens" is a GREAT podcast which you can find most places and their first season was about this guy.

If you are a fan of movies, listen to the podcast. I say "guy" as if I am not familiar but I am very familiar. Learned a lot from the podcast too.

Lani Guinier, Voting and Civil Rights Theorist and Legal Scholar, Dies at 71

Lani Guinier, the first Black woman to earn tenure at Harvard Law School has died at age 71. The New York Times reports that a cousin of the legal scholar, Sherrie Russell-Brown, confirmed Guinier’s death and provided no further details regarding a cause of death. School officials said she was surrounded by family at the time of her passing.

A champion for voting rights, and a civil rights theorist, Guinier came to national prominence in 1993, when then-President Bill Clinton, a Yale Law School classmate of Guinier’s, nominated her to be assistant attorney general for civil rights. Guinier was attacked by conservatives in the media and Senate Republicans over her writing on voting and civil rights, causing Clinton to eventually withdraw her nomination without a confirmation hearing.

Black America lost two Civil Rights titans today. More about Lani Guinier in the Critical Race Theory/Cancel Culture thread. I did not know her but know a few people who did. Interesting person.

I remember watching him as Dobie Gillis and I liked his character in Cat Ballou but I didn't know he produced and directed TV programs as well.

RIP Dwayne "Dobie" Hickman.
