Monday Movements

A much-needed breath of fresh air. Welcome back, Kate. Yesterday at Wimbledon. Photo from Google Images:

I don’t know if J.D. Vance is the right pick for VP, but DT’s instincts are usually spot on. Vance’s personal history is impressive. He served in Iraq as a medical officer. He wrote Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, a New York Times Best Seller in 2016 and 2017. Good luck, Sir. Prepare for the firestorm.

The phony docs case has been dismissed. Kudos to the Florida judge who deemed special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment, an end run around congress, unconstitutional.

RIP firebrand actress Shannen Doherty, 53, who fought a long battle with cancer. Born in Memphis, her family moved to L.A. when she was seven. She landed her first role at ten. There are 85 titles under her name at IMDb, career spanning 1981 to the present, one work to appear posthumously. She was in 18 episodes of Little House on the Prairie, 46 of Our House, 111 of Beverly Hills, 90210, 67 of Charmed, eleven of North Shore, 13 of two 90210 offshoots. On the big screen she was in Heathers (1988), Mallrats (1995), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), Bukowski (2013), to name four. She directed eight episodes of TV shows and two music videos by Radical Something. There are ten titles under her name in the category of Producer, including four episodes of her own podcast. She is the author of Badass: A Hard-Earned Guide to Living Life with Style and (the Right) Attitude. As is the case with many celebrities, she had her share of scandals and differences with co-stars. Married three times, the last from 2011 to her passing, she was childless. Gone too soon. Photo from GI:

RIP James Sikking, 90. Born in L.A., the son of ministers, he was a solid supporting player best known for his work in 144 episodes of Hill Street Blues. He did so much more. He appeared in 97 episodes as the father of Doogie Howser, M.D., 20 of Brooklyn South, 13 of Invasion America, eleven of The F.B.I.. He did numerous guest shots on popular primetime fare and had substantial roles in a lot of TV movies. On the big screen he was in Point Blank (1967), In Like Flint (1967), Capricorn One (1977), The Electric Horseman (1979), Ordinary People (1980), The Competition (1980), Outland (1981), The Star Chamber (1983), Star Trek: The Search for Spock (1984), The Pelican Brief (1993), to name a few. Married twice, the second time from 1962 until his passing, he was a father of two. A great run, Sir. Thank you. Photo from GI:

The early morning thunderstorm provided temporary relief. Afterward, it was as cool as it’s been in a long time. Alas, it was back to the recent normal by the time I left Stop n Shop, and brutal when it was time for the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to Dina, who did a swap of Russian titles, and to the young mom who bought a Finding Nemo pictorial, and to my Constant Benefactress, who purchased From a Sealed Room by Rachel Kadish.
