A drawing for Ennio: 
the composer who wrote "ah-ee-ah-ee-ah" theme of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
The Washington Post celebrated the composer by remembering him with an "onomatopoeic" tweet that recalls the famous refrain of "The good, the bad and the ugly"
«Sei figlio di una grandissima puttana»: "You are the son of a great bitch": that's how the "ah-ee-ah-ee-ah" was born, at the end of the movie. At 4.40 of this extract

When I was in high school, I had a history teacher who was only about 8 years old than me and had gone to that same school. He was one of the "cool" teachers all the kids liked. He told this story once: He took this girl to the drive one night. He didn't know anything about the movie being shown and didn't care; he was much more interested in the girl. They had been getting into things during the trailers when suddenly the opening theme of the movie came on. It was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". He lost interested in the girl and was drawn to the action on the screen
In 2016, Marricone finally won the Oscar he deserved for "The Hateful Eight".

I read somewhere he was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most hours appearing on American television, but I would be astonished if anyone from the European contingent ever heard of Regis Philbin.

Full disclosure, he was pretty much off my radar too.

Indeed, never heard of him. In general, I am not familiar with television people at all. I grew up with parents who kept that 'intruder' television outside, so the first thing I did when I left home was buying one, and spending long hours in front of it for the next 10 years. But it gradually lost my interest.I read somewhere he was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most hours spent on American television, but I would be astonished if anyone from the European contingent ever heard of Regis Philbin.

Peter Green, co-founder of Fleetwood Mac and one of the great blues-rock guitarists has passed away at 73.
On this one, pay no attention to the horrible camera work and focus on the original version of "Black Magic Woman".
Santana had a bigger hit with the song. In 1998, Green joined Santana on stage.

Nope, not till the BBC gave him a long slot on the short Sunday news, including excerpts. So he was obviously well known and liked in media circles.I read somewhere he was in the Guinness Book of World Records for most hours appearing on American television, but I would be astonished if anyone from the European contingent ever heard of Regis Philbin.

Olivia de Havilland, Oscar winner who starred in 'Gone With the Wind,' dies at 104
The actress — who in recent years sued Ryan Murphy over his show's depiction of her — won two Best Actress Oscars.
She had extremely good innings. She always caught one's attention when she was in a scene.

RIP Ms. de Havilland.
