Denny O'Neill, collaborating with artist Neal Adams, made Batman a darker more realistic comic in the early 1970s. Getting rid of all the silly stuff associated with the teevee show, and paving the way for Frank Miller's more disturbing interpretation in the 1980s. Batman is now DC's most popular character by far, and it is their "Dark Knight Detective" version that we know today.
O'Neill and Adams also created the famous Green Lantern/Green Arrow "relevant" series, one of DC's most important runs.
wikipedia tells me it was also O'Neill who wrote the stories where Wonder Woman briefly lost her powers and superhero costume and became an Emma Peel type character. Didn't realise that.
Amazing to think that when this lady was born, World War I was raging - 1917.
Bit of a choker hearing this news yesterday morning.
V glad she made it to 103 - and for the VE anniversary this year.

I read her obit in today's New York Times, and I confess to having never heard of her. That is, until I learned that her "We'll Meet Again" plays over nuclear destruction at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Of course I've heard of her! She was obviously much more important than that, though. RIP. {[]

Do you know the Pink Floyd album The Wall? The song "Vera" is about her.
And sad to hear about Ian Holm--a great actor, no matter the material!
Carl Reiner!
responsible for some of the funniest projects ever... Dick van Dyke Show, 2000 Year Old Man with Mel Brooks, many Carol Burnett appearances, the first several Steve Martin movies (the good ones) ...
look for his episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, its essential
RIP Jack Charlton. True footballing legend. I wasn't around in 1966 but will always remember his exploits with Ireland in 1990 and 1994 World Cups.

Jack Charlton...a really great centre half...he kept a ‘little black book’ in which he had all the names of footballers that had fouled him on the pitch, so he could get retribution in the future )
Linda Cristal passed away on 27th June aged 89. She played Victoria in The High Chapparal and starred in John Wayne’s The Alamo and with Charles Bronson in Mr Majestyk.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Was very sad to hear of the passing of Ben Cross. Wonderful actor and gentleman. Always feel he could have been a good fit somewhere in the Bond Universe.

This, plus Run Man Run from The Big Gundown are my favourites, but virtually his whole list of compositions are top notch.
RIP Big Jack -{
