Mary Wilson: 1944-2021
A Supreme. One of my few female crushes. Known around Motown as "Cool Mary". Yeah. Saw her live in St Louis a few years ago and she brought her A Game. Her autobiography is well worth the read.

Tab Hunter 1931-2018
Actor, Singer and Gay Icon.
His older movies are forgettable for the most part, but I loved him in Lust In The Dust and Polyester 1980's. Hit #1 on the music charts with "Young Love", 1957. Didn't play the game after his peak, a class act.

Today's Late and Great:
Mary Astor 1906-1987
American actress mostly supporting roles. If Bette Davis was a fan you know she was good. My favorite was The Great Lie, with BD herself, Bette told her the script was crap so they basically re-wrote it together.
