ABC News marked the occasion with a montage of vintage cigarette ads.

Surrounded by a cast of male actors, Linda Lavin commanded attention as Det. Wentworth on Barney Miller. She would carry that over to Alice and other projects. Such a strong stage presence. She was 87. #RIP

Rickey Henderson altered the course of the 1993 World Series (greatly disappointing 14-yr-old me) with this clutch 2-out, 2-run hit in the now-infamous 6-run 8th inning in Gm4. He would come around to score the eventual winning run.
