SID CAESAR, Died Feb. 12, 2014.
From March 3rd Time Magazine //// "If you've laughed at something on TV lately, you can thank Sid Caesar. He was present for the birth of TV as a mass medium and as a mass comedy delivery service. Any family tree of modern comedy branches back to him through the writers and performers he worked with-- Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart-- and the sketch-comedy format that the chameleonic Caesar defined" by James Poniewozik.
I have always heard of him but rarely ever saw him, but after reading this have to include him here. He was a bit before my TV-watching time. I love my sitcoms. Thanks Mr. Caesar.
SHIRLEY TEMPLE, 85. 1928-Feb. 10, 2014
Child star and diplomat. Again, I'm familiar with her, but she was a bit before my time. It is too bad that so many of the recent and today's child stars couldn't be more like her. Growing older with dignity, what an idea.
