yanceycravat Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Joan Didion, famed American essayist and novelist, has died https://www.cnn.com/style/article/joan-didion-death-obituary/index.html Acclaimed American writer Joan Didion, an essayist and novelist who rose to prominence in the 1960s, has died at age 87, her publisher confirmed to CNN on Thursday. "We are deeply saddened to report that Joan Didion died earlier this morning at her home in New York due to complications from Parkinson's disease," said Paul Bogaards, a publicity executive at A.A. Knopf, in a statement. While rising through the ranks at the fashion magazine, Didion met and married John Gregory Dunne, a journalist at Time with whom she'd collaborate on screenplays including "The Panic in Needle Park," known for Al Pacino's breakthrough performance, and the 1976 version of "A Star is Born," starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said that John Madden was the only visitor Darryl Stingley had shortly following the grim violence of the Jack "The Assassin" Tatum incident, and it's been suggested that the Stingley/Tatum affair impacted Madden's decision to call it a proverbial day following that 1978 season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the movie adaptation of Peter Gent's North Dallas Forty (1973) suited up with the same title, the on-field violence and off-field craziness depicted in the '79 film was straight out of the Oakland Raiders playbook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Except wasn't the G.D. SPRADLIN "Head Coach" character based more or less on Tom Landry in NORTH DALLAS FORTY? I don't see G.D. SPRADLIN's character being like John Madden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were exceptions - I couldn't remember, Mr. Gorman, but I think you once previously pointed this out... It was something of a disservice on my part to follow John Madden up with North Dallas Forty because, yes, he was unlike the G.D. Spradlin character. I mentioned the 1979 movie to give some film context to the Oakland Raiders reputation of the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
