    Pele and Barbara Walters. Crap, who’s next?

    She was a pioneer and an amazing journalist. May she rest in peace.

    Unfortunately, waiting for the trifecta to happen.....with these events, it seems to be always in 3s.

    Sorry to hear that. She was one of the best in the business.

    I learned from my 28 year old granddaughter that 81 year old fashion icon Vivienne Westwood died. Not sure if she qualifies or not.

    That's sad. RIP. All I could think about when I heard the news was her interview with Patrick Swayze after he got sick. And, all the celeb intervews she did where most of them were 1 hour shows that aired right before the Oscars. Her presence will be missed. She had a unique way of presenting herself and a way with words that made her special.

    I guess I'm old, but the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is Baba WaWa, which probably wouldn't make her very happy:

    Well, Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters just passed away - they're dropping like flies.

    R.I.P. Ms. Wawa. She was one of the interview icons of my youth. :(
