I like that! So much has been said about his talent and genius. It's nice to hear the personal side from the people who loved him.

I saw Donald Sutherland on an interview once. Back in the early 70s he was offered the Hawkeye part, having played him in the Altman move. He turned it down. He said that many years later he met Alan Alda at an event and the first words out of his mouth were, "Mr. Sutherland, thank you for my career." What a genuinely nice man he is! I'm so glad that career has had such a nice renaissance the past few years.

He also won 2 Tony awards for writing the books for City of Angels and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

An amazing talent.

Awww, another great one gone. Somewhere Alan Alda is a very sad man today.

Well-known writer Larry Gelbart died Friday morning of cancer. Most notably he wrote for the long-running series "M*A*S*H", and won many, many accolades for his work, including an astonishing 13 Emmy nominations (one of which he won, in 1972, for "M*A*S*H") and two Oscar nominations. He had a very long and brilliant career and will be missed.
