RIP: Mira Furlan and Hank Aaron

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 17:17:18 GMT

I only saw Mrs. Furlan in person once, at San Diego, just as Babylon 5 was getting going. And that, from across a standing-room only hall. Her work on-screen was nonetheless stellar, in the best sense, in the role of Delenn.

I never got to see Mr. Aaron, but I read the Peanuts strip with Snoopy standing in for Mr. Aaron, taking his own share of hate mail as a fictional beagle on his own quest to break Babe Ruth's record, and later learned the fuller story. Mr. Schulz was clearly a fan of Mr. Aaron, from what I saw in print.

Two people worthy of respect. Now both gone.

A first on Dreamwidth?

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:10:40 GMT

It seems that I am the first Dreamwidth user to admit to being interested in the works of Charles Schulz in the Interests section of their profile page.

I can't be the only user who's enjoyed his work, surely?
