Bruno S. aka Bruno Schleinstein
An eccentric performer best known for his lead role in two Werner Herzog films: "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" and "Stroszek." Via the New York Times. A tormented person with a tortured past, his performances were powerful and revelatory. I'm glad they were captured.

Abbey Lincoln
One of the greatest jazz composers and singers -- via the New York Times. One of my heroines -- a Renaissance woman! I am including a recording of her song "Throw It Away," which has cheered me endless times when I was down, and I think serves as an admirable philosophy to live by. Listen to it, learn it, live it, love it!
