☆ Norman Kansfield, 83, Dies; Defrocked for His Daughter’s Same-Sex Wedding
  + stars: | 2024-04-30 | by ( Alex Traub | More About Alex Traub | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Dr. Norman Kansfield seemed to personify the Reformed Church in America. To an extraordinary extent, he had grown up in the world of his church’s 17th-century Dutch founders. So when his daughter, Ann Kansfield, was considering coming out of the closet to him, she was nervous. After she did, Dr. Kansfield went beyond responding with warm acceptance. Years later, in June 2004, he insisted that he officiate at her wedding, held in Massachusetts weeks after the state legalized same-sex marriage.

☆ Alfredo Martinez, Who Fused Art World and Underworld, Dies at 56
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Alex Traub | More About Alex Traub | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Alfredo Martinez lived on New York City’s margins, a squatter who shook off one eviction after another. He was an artist who usually lacked a gallery and sometimes put on exhibits in a storage locker. Yet Mr. Martinez was also a player in the world capital of culture and media. Mr. Martinez synthesized those qualities into an idiosyncratic strategy as a bohemian provocateur: Use prison to supercharge an art career. He did that in the early 2000s, after he pleaded guilty to art forgery.

☆ Marilyn Lovell, Astronaut’s Wife in the Spotlight, Dies at 93
  + stars: | 2023-09-04 | by ( Alex Traub | More About Alex Traub | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Marilyn Lovell, who, as an object of fascination for the news media, the inspiration for movie and TV characters and a figure in history books, incarnated for many Americans the hardships and glamour of being an astronaut’s wife, died on Aug. 27 in Lake Forest, Ill. She was 93. Her death was announced by the Wenban Funeral Home of Lake Forest. Her husband, Jim Lovell, once the most experienced astronaut in the United States, was captain of perhaps the nation’s most dramatic spaceflight: Apollo 13. It was launched on April 11, 1970, with the goal of returning astronauts to the surface of the moon for the third time. Mr. Lovell and Fred Haise were the designated moon walkers; Jack Swigert was supposed to remain in orbit.

☆ Laszlo Birinyi, Leading Stock Picker and Market Forecaster, Dies at 79
  + stars: | 2023-08-30 | by ( Alex Traub | More About Alex Traub | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
His wife, Jill Costelloe Birinyi, said the cause was chronic heart failure. Mr. Birinyi (pronounced BUH-ree-nee), a former equities analyst at Salomon Brothers who founded his own money management firm in Westport, Conn., argued that the market had not only a history but also a “psychology,” and he used this insight as the basis for his market predictions. The public began to sense that Mr. Birinyi was onto something in the 1990s. As a frequent guest of “Wall Street Week,” a popular show on PBS (and, briefly, CNBC) hosted by Louis Rukeyser, Mr. Birinyi again and again won an annual stock-picking competition among panelists. From 1993 to 1998, his average annual return was 44 percent, against a 19.8 percent average annual rise by the Dow Jones industrials.

☆ Julian Barry, Who Made Lenny Bruce Into ‘Lenny,’ Dies at 92
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Alex Traub | More About Alex Traub | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Julian Barry, whose scripts for a Broadway play and a Hollywood movie about Lenny Bruce, both titled “Lenny,” became definitive portraits of the comedian as a truth teller who drove himself mad in a righteous struggle against American hypocrisy, was found dead on Tuesday morning at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. His daughter Julia Barry said he had died overnight in his sleep. He had been receiving medical treatment for congestive heart failure and, in recent weeks, for late-stage kidney disease. Like Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon, Mr. Bruce died young (he was 40) and became a figure of continually renewed pop-culture lore. From 2017 until this year, a fictionalized version of Mr. Bruce was a recurring character on the Amazon Prime television show “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
