Meet 87-yr-old Joyce Carol Oates, aka JCO, who taught at Princeton University 1978-2014 & is Professor Emerita in the Humanities w/ their Program in Creative Writing. Beware, Evil Musk, she may yet add to the 58+ books she's written, plus plays, poetry, nonfiction,... And she's an expert on boxing!

We lost dear Diane Ladd today. She was a brilliant & prolific actress that became a favorite of director David Lynch, as did her daughter Laura Dern [pic on left with husband/father Bruce Dern]. They worked together most memorably in his 1990 Wild At Heart [pic from Cannes on right]. Rest in peace.
