Jacques Tati died on this day in 1982
Le Pecq, 9 oct 1907 - Paris, 4 nov 1982

Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982)
Bergman died in London on 29 August 1982, at midnight on her 67th birthday. Her ex-husband Lars Schmidt and three other people were present, having drunk their last toast to her hours earlier. A copy of The Little Prince was at her bedside, opened to a page near the end.

#DOTD: Wilfred Owen (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918)
"If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."
