*Interesting. Churchill lived to be 90 years old despite being an overweight smoker. Wonder how long he might have lived if he had been a non-smoking health nut*

He was one of the *LUCKY* few that made it to a ripe old age despite his vices The kind of person many smokers say was a relative of theirs (my uncle smoked 60 a day and lived to 90)
Interesting that Dorothea Lange's "migrant mom" photo is so iconic that she's identified with THAT pic and not with a personal pic of Miss Lange herself.
Unfortunate that Shirley Jackson died so young. Known primarily for her horror writing and warped-narrator perspectives, she actually excelled in a number of genres, including satire. For me she has always seemed a treasure hidden in plain sight.
Soprano Jeanette MacDonald MGM star of the 1930s and 40s. She and Nelson Eddy were responsible for bringing MGM out of the red becoming the most successful singing screen couple of Hollywood’s golden age. Nelson Eddy, broken-hearted over her death, passed just 2 years later. RIP
Gone too in 1965: Thomas Bertram Costain author of The Silver Chalice a "cult" Bible classic movie introducing us to Paul Newman. I LOVE RELIGIOUS EPICS and Paul Newman did sensational in his "baby teeth" (first movie) and director Vince Saville called The Silver Chalice the "springboard" to Newman's superb career!
"Do you ski Mr. Laurel? No but I rather be skiing than dying!" (Stan Laurel's dying words. But he died of a massive stroke just like Oliver Hardy did in 1957!)
Paul Waner, a Hall of Fame baseball player, also died in 1965. I met his brother Lloyd, another Hall of Famer, at a baseball camp in Connecticut in 1968.
