The Vault Of Secrets

Ted Turner, founder of CNN and media visionary, died on May 6, 2026, at the age of 87.

Born Robert Edward Turner III on November 19, 1938, in Cincinnati, he built a groundbreaking media empire. He transformed a small Atlanta TV station into the Superstation WTBS, then launched CNN in 1980 — the world’s first 24-hour news network. He also created TNT, Cartoon Network, and owned the Atlanta Braves, winning the 1995 World Series.

A passionate sailor, he won the America’s Cup in 1977. Later in life, he became one of America’s largest private landowners and a major philanthropist, pledging $1 billion to the United Nations and supporting environmental conservation across nearly 2 million acres.

He is survived by his five children — Laura, Teddy, Rhett, Beau, and Jennie — along with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Services will be held privately.

Today hurts. Nicholas Brendon—April 12, 1971 to March 20, 2026—left us at fifty-four, peacefully in his sleep, natural causes. He gave us Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), that ride-or-die goofball we all needed. Kevin Lynch on Criminal Minds (2007-2014), sharp and steady. Campy charm in Psycho Beach Party, quiet intensity in Coherence, even kitchen antics with Bradley Cooper in Kitchen Confidential.

Catherine O’Hara (March 4, 1954 – January 30, 2026)

We lost a comedy giant today. Born in Toronto, she rose from Second City improv to SCTV stardom—her wild impressions and characters still iconic. She lit up screens with Eugene Levy, Martin Short, and more: Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, Beetlejuice (as Delia), Home Alone, and of course, Schitt’s Creek’s Moira Rose—Emmy-winning, unforgettable.

With infinite sadness we say goodbye to Brigitte Bardot, the eternal BB. From the beaches of Saint-Tropez to screens around the world, she embodied freedom, sensuality, and rebellion like no one else. At 39 she walked away from stardom to give her voice to those who have none: the animals. For half a century she fought for them with the same fire that once lit up cinema. Today the world feels a little less wild, a little less free. Merci Brigitte. The legend lives on. 28 September 1934 – 28 December 2025

A bit late with this one:

RIP Diane Ladd (1939-2025) The queen of tough-love mamas and scene-stealing firecrackers. Diane Ladd was 89 when she passed on November third in Ojai, California, from chronic hypoxic respiratory failure tied to pulmonary fibrosis.

RIP to a beloved and talented actor, Udo Kier. He was 81.

Seriously people, don’t we have enough legitimate issues and concerns to deal with? How is the Cracker Barrel logo change a front page headline?

An 8.8 earthquake hits Russia and alarms warning of Tsunami danger all over the west coast. Was this a joke in San Francisco. Hell, I’ve made bigger waves in my bathtub!
