Two giants in entertainment passed away-Sam Shepard at 73 and Jeanne Moreau at 89.
Shepard, a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, had the good fortune of being an effective character actor and made big impressions in films like Days of Heaven and the intense general in Black Hawk Down. But his biggest role was a supporting one as a young Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff-for me, he has never been better.
Moreau I first saw in Viva Maria and she was a beautiful French star but also a strong actress in countless films like the original La Femme Nikita as Amande and classics like Jules and Jim. She was and is considered a national treasure in France.
