That one hits particularly close to home considering I'm just over a week off my 50th birthday. Everything I ever saw of Grant made me think he was a genuinely nice guy, and 49 is no age at all.

I remember Saxon from Enter the Dragon, but he seems to have worked in almost 200 titles and even very recently.

Learned something new about Dame Olivia.

My mistake if it's a repeat, but wanted to add something this time. Last year died one of the "first" people in space travel. If you don't know of him, check it out:

I just read about that this morning. I've been rewatching all of the MCU movies with my kids for the last week or so. Just watched Black Panther again last night. Shocking news, to say the least.
