Diana Serra Cary was known as child star Baby Peggy during the silent film era. Only a handful of her films survive, and a couple have been shown on TCM. (Her 1924 version of Captain January predated the Shirley Temple film by 12 years.) Under the name Diana Serra Cary, she became an author and authority on "Old Hollywood" - particularly Westerns. Read The Hollywood Posse. Excellent book.
Also, Hosni Mubarak has died. And Bob Shane and John Simon have also recently passed.

The veteran conductor Anton Coppola has died at a great age Aww, that's a shame. A few of us had him. I saw him conduct Cavalleria Rusticana (the opera seen in GF3) back in 1996 [ info] ....

Fountains of Wayne frontman Adam Schlesinger dies from coronavirus complications at 52
Fountains of Wayne had some good tunes. He was the bassist and joint songwriter, not frontman, BTW.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Drum god Tony Allen dies https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-52497008#Pioneering Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, a co-founder of the afrobeat musical genre, died in Paris on Thursday aged 79, his manager says. Eric Trosset told NPR radio that he had died of a heart attack. AFP said his death was not linked to coronavirus. Allen was the drummer and musical director of musician Fela Kuti's famous band Africa '70 in the 1960-70s. Fela, as he was widely known, died in 1997. He once said that "without Tony Allen, there would be no afrobeat". Allen has also been described by UK musician Brian Eno as "perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived". Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, who spent time with Allen in London, called him "one of the greatest drummers to ever walk this earth" and described him as his "hero".
Beninois singer Angelique Kidjo told the BBC's Newsday programme that she had been hit hard by both Allen's death and the passing of Cameroonian saxophone legend Manu Dibango in March. Allen, who was born in Lagos in 1940, taught himself how to play drums when he was 18. He said he learnt his technique by listening closely to American jazz drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
