The comedian Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Though Pinky Lee is an unfamiliar name today, it would not have been to a man of Mr. Reubens’s generation. Pee-wee Herman was born Paul Rubenfeld in 1952 in Peekskill, NY; Mr. Lee was born Pincus Leff in 1907 in Saint Paul, Minn. Rubenfeld, who was a talented child actor, would rename himself Reubens and become an improv comic. His early work with the The Groundlings in Los Angeles, notably in a Pinky parody skit, would eventually form the basis for one of the more indelible characters in show business. Mr. Lee came up through the ranks as a tap dancer on the vaudeville circuit.

Cântăreaţa, prezentatoarea şi realizatoarea de televiziune Raffaella Carra a murit luni la vârsta de 78 de ani, potrivit El Pais, potrivit News.ro. Anunţul a fost făcut agenţiei de presă Ansa de către Sergio Japino, care i-a fost partener mai mulţi ani. Raffaella Carra a anunţat în decembrie 2016 că se retrage din televiziune, pentru că, spunea ea atunci, este timpul să facă loc noilor generaţii. Una dintre ultimele sale colaborări cu televiziunea a fost rolul de jurat în varianta italiana a emisiunii „The Voice”. Între emisiunile de televiziune pe care le-a găzduit se numără „Carràmba che sorpresa!”, „¡Hola Raffaella!”, „Canzonissima”, „En casa con Raffaella”, „Pronto... Raffaella?”, „A las 8 con Raffaella”, „Ma che sera”, „La hora de Raffaella Carrà” şi „Domenica in”.
