In everything she attempted, her vibrantly beautiful singing...

He sent a postcard home, saying that he might go on to Italy, but by the time it arrived he had landed in his eventual homeland of Greece.

Brian MacDonald writes: I had the privilege of using Stanley Ellis (obituary, 14 November) a number of times as an expert witness when I was an investigator for HM Customs. I first met him in 1989, when I gave him a short lift to Isleworth crown court. We spoke only briefly during the car journey, and as he got out of my car, he surprised me by asking which part of the Wirral peninsula I was brought...

Gavin Gaughan writes: Michael Coveney's account of Timothy Bateson (obituary, 8 November) omitted a minor but noteworthy event in television comedy. The first person to give life on screen to Basil Fawlty was not John Cleese, but the diminutive, inoffensive-looking Bateson. Cleese took the inspiration from the real-life hotel proprietor Donald Sinclair, and before Fawlty Towers used Sinclair as the...

Influential programmer for the NFT and London film festival Anyone whose love of the cinema was burnished by the National Film Theatre in the 1970s and early 80s owes a considerable debt to Ken Wlaschin, who has died aged 75. He not only programmed the theatre for some 15 years, but also directed the London film festival. During that time, he expanded both indefatigably, often in the teeth of financial...

I saw this post today on core77 and I thought it was a great story to share it with our Abduzeedo readers. I'm sure you've all heard the notion that "print is a dying medium." Advertising in print is down, and seems to continue declining, because more people are going online to read content. So what do we do? Do we just write Print's obituary and sit around remembering it fondly, or do we...

It happens too often: a writer dies, and I’m reminded by the obituaries of books I meant to read but never did. Otto Friedrich’s City of Nets was a perfect example; I read all the reviews when that work came out in 1986, but it wasn’t until after Friedrich’s death in 1995 that I fell in love with his history of Hollywood in the 1940s. The part that interested me most were the...
