On Sat the 14th After Friday the 13th, We Have Our "Threes" - RIP Michaela dePrince, Frankie Beverly of MAZE, and James Earl Jones

 



The Guardian has a video obituary of the ballerina, because often with dance the still doesn't capture It

Michaela Mabinty dePrince 


I want to encourage folks to look at the pictures they have as well, though -- of the ballerina's chosen family as well as her great art


I always thought the great dramatic stage and screen artist James Earl Jones' comic chops were underrated

It takes some going to steal a movie out from the likes of Redford, Aykroyd, Strathairn, McDonnell, Sidney Poitier, and River Phoenix -- but I think he did it




And, remembering, I was ... sort of okay and not crying too much till this came down my feed





Roland Martin has a full Frankie Beverly remembrance




And we'll talk more about related things in the comments
