As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the performers, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year.
Through their art, they took us on journeys we will never forget.

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

54 miles, 30 sleepless hours 💪🥾Dartmouth Outing Club's "The Fifty" pushes students to hike from Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to campus. Cold and wet this year, but with granite in their muscles and friends cheering, these students conquered the challenge! #DartmouthFall
President Jimmy Carter remains an inspiration. What better way to celebrate his birthday than to recite the Gettysburg Address with him. Just follow along this great reading he did for us in 2013.
#RIP James Earl Jones who passed away today at the age of 93. Jones was an Army veteran who used the GI Bill to study acting before launching a career that included providing the voice for Darth Vader and portraying Admiral James Greer in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.
President Biden: I stand here today as the first president to come to Pointe du Hoc when none of those 225 brave men who scaled this cliff on D-Day are still alive. But I'm here to tell you that with them gone, the wind we hear coming off this ocean will not fade. It will grow louder. They are summoning us. They ask us, what will we do? They're not asking us to scale these cliffs, they're asking us to stay true to what America stands for. They're not asking us to give or risk our lives, but they are asking us to care for others in our country more than ourselves. They're not asking us to do their job, they're asking us to do our job. To protect freedom, to defend democracy, to stand up to aggression abroad and at home. My fellow Americans, I refuse to believe that America's greatness is a thing of the past
