Such sad news

James Garner has died. What a wonderful actor he was.

Mary McNamara writes of him:

It wasn't humility so much as a sense of proportion, something so unusual in a lead character or a lead actor that it became a hallmark of a Garner performance — he didn't think too much or too little of himself because he'd rather not be thinking of himself at all.

Elaine Stritch just died, too. Here she sings "I'm Still Here":



And here "The Ladies Who Lunch":



And "The Little Things You Do Together":



(I hope we don't lose a third one...)
