Legendary costume designer Theoni V. Aldredge

She won three Tonys (nominated for 14) and an Oscar & British Academy Award for The Great Gatsby. In 1984 more than 1,000 of her costumes could be seen in five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway: A Chorus Line, Dreamgirls, La Cage aux Folles, 42nd Street, and The Rink.

On Tuesday Broadway theaters will be dimming their lights to honor her memory.

That's pretty good - guess I need to start in with the push-ups and jumping jacks.

Which makes me wonder, were Jumping Jacks named after him?

ETA: Nope, it was named after a toy. Although, Mr. LaLanne did take the credit for making them popular in the US.

He's gonna carry his own casket at his funeral.

RIP Mr. LaLanne - you were quite a remarkable guy.

Looks like I missed a page! So sorry to hear about Moondoggie, and how scary about Kimchi! She's ok, now?

Somewhere (else) either Chris or Lisa posted that she just got ahold of a small plastic character. She passed it the old fashioned way which didn't require surgery and she is doing fine now.

Moonie, I'm sorry. We know how it is to adore a grumpy old (young) dog.
