David Thomas, the avant-garage pioneer and voice of Pere Ubu, redefined rock music with haunting sounds and uncompromising originality. His legacy echoes through every distortion and defiance of genre.

Don Mischer, the genius behind some of television’s most unforgettable live moments—from Olympic ceremonies to Prince in the rain—turned broadcasts into emotional milestones. His touch was invisible but unforgettable.

Nicky Katt, a scene-stealer in Dazed and Confused and Boston Public, brought intensity and humanity to every role. His private struggles now shine a light on the importance of compassion in the industry.

Clive Revill, who once voiced Emperor Palpatine and lit up Broadway stages, was a master of transformation. Whether Shakespeare or sci-fi, his performances were steeped in grace and gravitas.

Andrea Blaugrund Nevins, the documentarian who gave voice to punk rock dads and plastic dolls alike, turned unexpected stories into emotional truths. Her lens captured life in all its honest beauty.

Émilie Dequenne, the Cannes-winning Belgian actress, carried every role with fierce empathy—from Rosetta to Our Children. Even through illness, she acted with bravery and love.

Mary Schmucker, the beloved matriarch of Return to Amish, brought warmth, wisdom, and unwavering faith to screens and hearts across America. Her spirit lives on in every lesson she shared.

Bob Bingham, whose booming voice in Jesus Christ Superstar became iconic, moved from stage to a life of quiet fulfillment—reminding us that greatness can be found in both spotlight and stillness.

Dale Wilson, the versatile voice behind Dragon Ball Z and G.I. Joe, gave life to heroes and villains alike. Off-screen, he was a fierce advocate and generous mentor to his fellow performers.

Patty Maloney, a circus star, puppeteer, and TV favorite, reminded us that joy comes in all forms. Whether in space, on the prairie, or behind a mask, she always connected with heart.

And we also reflect on the enduring journeys of two living legends.

Tom Cruise, the unstoppable force behind Mission: Impossible and Top Gun: Maverick, continues to push physical and cinematic boundaries. His discipline, ambition, and resilience keep him flying high.

Owen Wilson, with his quiet charm and emotional depth, has shown us the power of second chances. His story of healing and presence reminds us that strength often speaks softly.

These lives—whether concluded or still unfolding—teach us that legacy is built not only on fame, but on the courage to keep going, the heart to give back, and the grace to be human.
