World renowned architect I.M. Pei dead at the grand old age of 102. He designed some of the world's most recognizable landmarks of the 20th century. It's tough to list them the best but they include the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and the JFK Library in Boston.

This one is tough. Watched so many of the Carol Burnett Show re-runs after school. Tim was the bomb. Though his own variety show failed, he had some of the best sketch comedy characters. Thanks for the laughs, Tim. RIP

Yes, it was a strange architectural choice to separate the Rock Hall from the Roll Hall.
It hasn't been a good week for 100-year-old-plus famous people of the arts. Author Herman Wouk dies today at 103. Author of a lot of well-known novels but probably Caine Mutiny, Winds of War and War and Remembrance are the best known three.
Child actor Bobby Diamond, dead at 75. He was the lead in the tv show Fury about a boy and his horse. One of those Lassie/Flipper/Gentle Ben type of shows that were family friendly back in the old days.
