James Earl Jones, one of the iconic voices of several generations, and prolific in roles, has died at 93 years of age. I first heard him as the chief of the Mathnet division on Square One TV, but he's known better for Darth Vader, for Mufasa, for being the announcer of CNN, for so many roles. And finding out that he was a stutterer is one of those "surely not," but turns out to be true. He will be missed.
Dora Richter, one of the first persons to undergo what we would recognize as gender reconstructive surgery, managed to outlast the Nazis, who thought the best trans person was a dead trans person. She had been presumed dead at the destruction of the Institute for Sex Research by the Nazis, but she managed to survive them and a whole lot more, to die in 1966.
