Judith Krantz, whose steamy, glitzy romance novels - about the obscene exploits of the obscenely wealthy - were devoured by millions of readers and transformed the former Good Housekeeping editor into a publishing and television sensation, died June 22 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 91.

Krantz burst onto the literary scene in 1978 with "Scruples" - a racy Cinderella tale about the making of a Beverly Hills boutique owner - that sold about 5 million copies in its first two years in print.

Though she was paid a relatively small sum for the book - $50,000 - Krantz would later garner record-breaking advances, earning millions of dollars from her top-selling romances and the TV miniseries made from them. Her novels, 10 in all, sold more than 80 million copies, were translated into over 50 languages and became fixtures of bestseller lists for decades.

H. Ross Perot, rich guy and two time candidate for POTUS, age 89

From the WaPo obituary:

Mr. Perot — whose high-pitched twang, diminutive stature and a buzz cut held over from his days at the U.S. Naval Academy — was the antithesis of a made-for-TV candidate. Yet he employed that medium brilliantly, calling on his vast resources to buy large chunks of airtime to explain his political beliefs.

At times sounding more like a professor conducting a tutorial than a candidate for the nation’s highest office, he constructed a dizzying array of charts and graphs to illustrate what was wrong with the country, interspersing his lecture with corny jokes and folksy metaphors.

I'll be honest... I thought he was in his 80s when he ran back in the day. Was shocked to find out he was only 89... I was expecting like 100-102.

RIP

I did too! My Grandpap will be 93 this month and I remember when Perot was running I thought he was at least a decade or so older than my grandparents. I remember Dana Carvey doing mpressions of him more than I remember what he actually ran on policy wise.

VW Beetle isn't fully dead yet. They said that back in the 80s and brought it back. Got money saying it will be back in the next decade.

Jim Bouton, the former New York Yankees pitcher who shocked and angered the conservative baseball world with the tell-all book "Ball Four," has died. He was 80.

Bouton's family said he died Wednesday at the home he shared with wife Paula Kurman. He fought a brain disease linked to dementia and was in hospice care. Bouton also had two strokes in 2012.

Was a Yankee fan as a kid. Bouton had a couple of really good years in the early 60's.


Man; this thread has gotten pretty busy all of a sudden.
