Vince Guaraldi was the brilliant composer and pianist behind the Peanuts cartoons.

It was quite controversial to use modern jazz in a kid's cartoon, networks hated it, but introduced many kids to jazz.

He was only 46 when he died in 1976, but left such a legacy!

"The People under the Stairs" (1991) was inspired by something Wes Craven had read in the newspapers. One day, in a middle-class white area of Santa Monica, California, neighbors called the police after seeing a couple of men break into a house. When the policemen arrived, instead of the robbers they found some very pale children who had been locked inside, away from the world, by their parents.

“It was just one of those stories that struck me with such irony— everybody feeling that the black people breaking into the house was the worst thing imaginable, and there you have this middle-class, perfect family with a terrible secret, not of having stolen a television set or something, but the life of their own children,” Craven noted.

According to Marc Shapiro’s People under the Stairs set-visit story for Fangoria, after reading the newspaper account, Craven “sat down and wrote an 80-page first act to a script he then titled The Puzzle.” That was in 1978. And, as the Craven explained it to Shapiro, for years he simply couldn’t get beyond that point. Finally, the logjam broke—in a typical Craven manner:

"When I’d get the chance between films, I’d take it out and try to get the second and third acts to work. I knew I’d have one hell of a film once I got that problem solved. Finally, during the Brussels Film Festival last year, I dreamed I was writing this picture and, in my dream, I had solved the second and third act problem. I woke up, began writing and in four hours, I had the entire story down. It was a major breakthrough."

Buckingham Palace Play Theme From Jurassic Park In Tribute to Sam Neill

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Bryce Dallas Howard has shared a video of the late Sam Neill singing “Blackbird” with Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern.

“Sam had an immense passion for life. Generous with his wine, his stories, his time. One of the most unassumingly attractive and magnetic people I've ever met.”

[Love Music @khnh80044]

After this performance the band did an interview saying this was the best performance they have ever done. Just this song. Everyone was on cue. Perfect. Not a note missed by anyone. Pitch. Tone. Timing. All perfect. They said they never performed this good ever before. And you can clearly tell.❤️🎶

RIP Bonnie Tyler 😔💔🙏🏻

The iconic singer had recently fallen into a coma following a serious medical complication resulting from intestinal surgery.

With her powerful, raspy voice, she captivated the world. We say goodbye to a legend of the 80s and 90s.
