He was the closest of the modern era we had to Oscar Wilde.

The world is poorer for having one less person who loathed Truman Capote.  :(

Oh my god. That's probably the saddest celebrity death news in my life. :(

Of course. Your Queen Bitch just died.

Kinda sad that Buckley never punched him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

RIP Gore Vidal. For my money, one of America's greatest loudmouths! (and authors)
:p

Not only did I think he was already dead, if told that he was still alive, I would have guessed that he was considerably older than 86.  I would have thought mid-90s at least.

I think that was Vidal Sassoon. :P

Yes, I knew it was a Vidal something.

No kidding. I could have swown there was already a death thread for this guy posted here a couple months ago.

You were here a couple months ago? Seems like at least a year since I've seen you post.  :P

I'm still lurking.

I think I mixed him up with Victor Borge, not Vidal Sassoon.
