Though he thought he'd lose stature if he revealed his truth, he helped us understand AIDS. He grasped this just before his death:
"I am not happy that I am sick. I am not happy that I have AIDS. But if that is helping others, I can at least know that my own misfortune has had some positive worth."

80s activists and liberals derided Rock for closeting his sexual orientation (open secret in Hollywood) and supporting Goldwater conservatism. However, he was among the earliest mainstream celebrities whose diagnosis was reported to the public. HIs impact, fight, and loss raised our awareness.

Connecting the voice of Zira to the 70s action series guest-star was an aha! moment. Only later did I discover her brilliance in Streetcar. She sent this photo in 73-74, midway through her career, before her Emmy-winning role on The Edge of Night followed by 2 more decades of memorable performances.

Kim’s film career was derailed by blacklisting in the 50s, amid suspicions of communism by the House Un-American Activities Committee. She bounced back strongly on the live tv dramas showcases of the decade. I knew her best from Columbo, Night Gallery, Mannix, Mission: Impossible, The Magician, etc.

Poignantly, he sent this photo on April 10th, 1976 (postmark) and died just two days later. I likely sent him a letter in 1974 or early 1975 at the latest.
Some apt advice from Mayor Shinn to today’s GOP:
1. You watch your phraseology!
2. Not one poop out of you!
