(I met him) RIP,96: "Lennie Bluett Dead: 'Gone With the Wind' Actor Was 96 "- Hollywood Reporter

I JUST HAPPENED UPON A DONUT SHOP IN L.A. (los feliz area) one morning around 630am about 10 years & a black guy was sitting at a table & said something to me. I didn't know who he was but then I noticed a newspaper article on the wall behind him,about him. He was best known for a small part in Gone w/ the Wind,but he was also a musician then & now. He told me he was still performing & also talked about his movie experiences.

Turns out,this donut shop was his hangout of sorts. When I went back a few months later,there he was again. And we talked again. Nice enough guy.
He died on New Years Day,2016,age 96.

Leo making a bid for the Pope's endorsement in a

DANGEROUS NAME: "Suicide Squad (film)" - Wiki

I DON'T THINK ITS GOOD TO USE THE WORD "SUICIDE" IN A GLORIFYING (hollywood) MANNER. WE have enough serious & tragic problems with actual sucide,as well as now legally assisted suicide,and also,of course,terror-based suicide bombers (not to mention the increase in domestic murder-suicide incidents). I wish they would think of a different name. My prediction is that this will only increase the problem of real suicide.

"Suicide Squad is an upcoming American superhero
film based on the DC Comics antihero team of the
same name . It is intended to be the third installment
in the DC Extended Universe . The film is written and
directed by David Ayer and stars an ensemble cast
