There have been many famous people I have loved through my life and have always thought of as "Immortal"!
Cases in point are Pope Pius XII, my very first dose of mortality when I was a teenager, Lucille Ball, Debbie Reynolds, Elvis Presley, Anne Baxter, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe (I was totally in love with her, who wasn't?), Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Van Cliburn, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis, Divine, Fats Domino, Carrie Fisher, George Harrison, John Lennon, Sandra Sakata (link below), Celeste Holm, Whitney Houston, Patti Page, Michael Jackson, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (his was the most shocking), B. B. King, Jon Lord, Jayne Mansfield, Leonard Nimoy, Prince, Lou Reed, George Romero (I expect him back any day now), Inger Stevens, photographer Jim Stewart (link below), Joan Sutherland and on and on. It was a complete shock to me when each and everyone of them DID die.
I KNEW they were not immortal but they were so much bigger than life in
my mind that I could not comprehend their death until it actually
happened. The death of Little Richard today (link below) brought me to post this entry to the Viewfinder.

Guess what?
They ARE immortal because
They ARE immortal because
they live on in my mind & heart!
