If you are not an American boomer news geek, Mark Shield's passing will be of little note nor long remembered.
He coined the expression "a stranger to self importance" to describe long serving Senator Mike Mansfield, and a senior MSNBC correspondent just now noted it applied to Shields as well.
Agreed. He really was one of the good guys.

His roles in The Gotfather and Rollerball were the best.
The first time I became aware of Ivana Trump's existence
was in the early 90s, when DONALD IVANA DIVORCE headlines displaced the collapse of the Soviet Union from the front pages of New York City tabloids.
She suffered cardiac arrest at 73. Requiem aeternam dona ei, domine.

Uwe Seeler, one of the most famous German football / soccer players died with 85 years. He was one of the most honored persons in German sports because of his friendliness, kindness for charity organisations and his well-remembered always fair playing in all games of his whole life. There will be a lot of minutes of silence at the beginnings of German football games during the coming days and even at the Women's World Cup games when Germany plays:

He played a rogues gallery of Star Trek villains, but 41 years later Mr. Warner's turn in Time Bandits remains embedded in my memory.

The name Tony Dow means little to anybody who doesn’t remember a certain American sitcom that ended 60 years ago.
Jerry Mathers was The Beaver, but Mr. Dow's Wally had quite a bit to do.

Seems Warner really liked Time Bandits.

I've heard of this show but never seen it. Not sure if it was ever aired over here. A few of the higher profile US sitcoms did make it across the pond, but mostly only from the late 80s onwards, so shows like Cheers, Frasier, Sex & The City and of course Friends, which is still popular today in reruns, but before he 80s, US comedies were very rare here, and even laterthey never gained the levels of popularity that our own home-grown ones did. I guess the US and British sense of humour is a bit different and a lot of the US sitcoms that I've seen (with the exception of Friends) just didn't seem all that funny to me. I could never get into Frasier, despite people telling me it was good, it just never clicked for me, and I only watched Cheers for Kirstie Alley (which should surprise nobody in here)The name Tony Dow means little to anybody who doesn’t remember a certain American sitcom that ended 60 years ago.

Even things like Sex & The City, which I did enjoy, was more eye candy than comedy IMO...
