So sad. A member of the family

Wow, Curtis Hansen died at 71 today. Though I think LA Confidential is overrated (it's not quite the Chinatown it wants to be) it has a number of nice scenes and use of locals in it. Especially good is the Lana Turner scene in the still operating Formosa Cafe. Also nice use of Lloyd Wright's Sowden House and Richard Neutra's Lovell House.

Best for the cast with the 2 Australians - Pearce and Crowe and of course Kevin Spacey among others

So sorry to hear this. We lost both of our labs this year, including our first "baby" Duke. It totally sucks.

I'm just in shock right now

RIP Jose!!

Terrible news. Was a great pitcher. Great ERA.
Rookie of the year a couple years ago. Born in Cuba.
Only 24 years old or so. Had a pregnant girlfriend.
Life is unfair sometimes.

Scheduled Marlins home game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday has been cancelled in respect.

Arnold Palmer! Sad day, what a huge and positive figure for golf!

Is there anyone in sports more respected than Arnie?

I am not totally surprised as he did not look good at all at the Masters. Still......

Very sorry to hear about Arnie and Oliver. Arnold Palmer was my favorite golfer. Also the favorite of a generation first exposed to golf.

RIP Arnold... What an amazing guy.

Arnold so sad.

Really hurts me here. We see him daily!! we live here at PGA National. On the course designed by him called "The General". After his redesign three years ago it was renamed "Palmer Course" There is a small plaque just off the course near our back yard commerating him.

Great for the game. Loved to watch him and that iconic swing

Terrible indeed. I'm listening to the stories about his journey from Cuba to the US. Unbelievable. RIP.

I don't know that there is anyone that I have never met whose passing moved me to tears, until last night. RIP King, you were what all sportsman/celebrities should strive to be, great at your craft and great in life!
