OBITS:
From Deadline: American media personality and television talk show host, Phil Donahue, has died at the age of 88, Sunday, August 18, 2024. Donahue was best known for "The Phil Donahue Show," later renamed "Donahue." It began in Dayton, Ohio and the ended after a 29-year run in New York City in 1996. It was the first talk show format to include audience participation. Donahue returned to TV with the MSNBC talk show, "Donahue," which began in July 2002 and was cancelled in February 2003, apparently because Donahue opposed the then imminent U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Donahue was nominated for 20 Daytime Emmy Awards for hosting his talk show, and won eight times. He also received two special Daytime Emmys.
From THR: Iconic French actor, Alain Delon, has died at the age of 88, Sunday, August 18, 2024. His style, looks, and movie roles made him one of the biggest actors of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and made him an enduring star of European cinema. Among his best known films are "Purple Noon" (1960), "The Leopard" (1963), "Le Samourai" (1967), and "Un Flic" (1972). Although he moved to Hollywood briefly in the mid-1960s, and made several films, including "Once a Thief" (1965) and "Lost Command" (1965), he was never able to crack the American audience.
From Deadline: "Deadline" looks back at the career of French film icon, Alain Delon, with an overview of his best films.
