R.I.P. Elaine Stritch

 
The world got a little less funny today, via The New York Daily News:

Feisty, fearless and relentlessly frank, Elaine Stritch had a storied career that spanned seven decades on stage, film and television.
She died at age 89 on Thursday, leaving a showbiz legacy and a flair for outspokenness that none could match.
Known as Stritchie to intimates like Noel Coward who wrote the 1961 musical "Sail Away" for her, she famously enjoyed flirtations with Ben Gazzara, Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. She came close to having a one-night stand with John F. Kennedy.
She won three Emmys and was nominated for four Tonys.

She was truly the funniest broad there was.  Her personality, laugh, and general aura were one in a million qualities, and she will be missed.  God Bless.
