Apparently she was a model

Briefly married to MJ

I agree Fman. Being famous for being famous is getting old

Gina Lollobrigida, the Italian actor once called “the most beautiful woman in the world”, has died at the age of 95. Corriere della Sera reported the news, saying she had been “hospitalised for some time”.

Through the 1950s and 60s, Lollobrigida was one of the world’s most desired performers and starred in a large number of European and American films opposite many of Hollywood’s leading men of the day.

Born in 1927 in Subiaco, in the mountains east of Rome, she was the daughter of a furniture maker. In her teenage years she did some modelling and entered beauty contests, and in 1947 placed third in the Miss Italia pageant. On her entry form for that competition, she wrote that she had a talent for acting but that she wanted to do something serious with her skills.

After a series of roles in European films, including a Bafta-winning turn in Bread, Love and Dreams, it was Lollobrigida’s performance in 1953’s Beat the Devil opposite Humphrey Bogart that brought her international fame and millions of admirers.

I remember when the Who's prettier? Gina vs Sophia (Loren) debate was as hot as the Who had the better horse? Roy Rogers vs Gene Autry debate. Or the best puppet? -Howdy Doodie vs Rootie Kazootie.(seriously)
RIP

David Crosby , age 81

Obviously a huge influence in music , Rest in peace

[Frayed Knot]

Will Anybody be at his funeral?

OK, that's too soon and obviously there will be attendees. Just don't count on too many ex-band mates (Byrds or CSNY).

As stated above, big influence on music from a guy who said he was "put on this earth to sing harmonies".
Had more than a few health issues along the way including a liver transplant a while back so the over/under line definitely would have been somewhere south of 81

Really a brilliant musician, in my opinion. I'll be digging a bit deeper for the post mortem jukebox on this one
