Her character Maude was the first glimpse I had of a modern woman. Up to that point, women were in more traditional roles. I saw in a Maude a strong woman who stood up for her beliefs.

Maude truly altered my thinking about many subjects. It was truly groundbreaking. Bea was a master of wit and timing. She will be missed.

Ekaterina Maximova, the famed Bolshoi ballerina, has died unexpectedly at the age of 70. She is survived by her husband of over 50 years, fellow Bolshoi principal dancer Vladimir Vasiliev.

Here is a Youtube of probably their most famous performance, Spartacus.

Here is her Giselle pas with partner Gordeev.

I have never heard of her, but I did watch the videos. There was another on the page with Giselle called Slavac Dance which showed close-ups of her face. What a beautiful talent. Thank you, GAL for drawing this to our attention.

She was certainly a lovely artist, OG. She and Vasiliev danced up until the late '80's, and then she became a highly-respected teacher in the Bolshoi system. I was very surprised to hear of her death. She and her husband were both very important to the development of modern ballet sensibilities.

We never saw him, but as soon as you said his name, Kstme, I knew who you were talking about. His name and face are everywhere in Vegas. I never would have guessed he was 52.

I have seen him. He was good, but I think highly overrated. It is a shame, he was a young man. He was the King of Vegas

I never heard of him, but I recognize the face, probably from advertising in Vegas. WAY too young.

The older brother of American Idol champ David Cook has lost his battle with brain cancer, according to the singer's official website.

Adam Cook, 36, a lawyer, died early Sunday morning after an 11-year struggle with the disease, which had spread to his spine. He leaves behind his wife, Kendra, and their children.

David made the announcement Sunday morning at the 12th Annual Race for Hope 5K run/walk in Washington, D.C. benefiting finding a cure for brain cancer. The "Light On" rocker was the event's honorary chairman and his team raised more the $97,000 for the cause.

The brothers had one of AI's most memorable, tear-worthy moments ever, when Adam sat in the audience in April 2008 and watched David perform his rendition of Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby."

Residents of their hometown in Terre Haute, Indiana, raised $45,000 so that Adam could be flown in with the proper medical care.

Oh that's terribly sad. My thoughts go out to him. He announced it yesterday at the Race for the Cure event in Washington - - - > > > youtube

And then he ran the race.

That is so sad. David was so classy in trying to keep the brother's condition out of the headlines. Keeping it private. He succeeded too. You have to respect that.
