Bill Cottrell obit

Ex-Detroit Lions OL Bill Cottrell, NFL's first Black center, dies at 80

 

He was not on the list.


Bill Cottrell, a former Detroit Lions offensive lineman who is believed to be the first Black center in NFL history, died this week at the age of 80.

Cottrell played four seasons for the Lions in 1967-70 and finished his career with the Denver Broncos in 1972.

He made 10 starts at left tackle in 1967 and played three games at center in 1969.

"Bill Cottrell was a pioneer of sorts, but a quiet one," Jim Acho, attorney for the Detroit Lions NFL Alumni chapter, said by text message. "A selfless man who always checked in on former teammates to see how they were doing."

Cottrell is survived by his wife, Earline, daughter, Toni, and son, Tahji. His brother, Ted Cottrell, was a longtime NFL coach who served as defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers.

Cottrell's family will host a public visitation from 4-8 p.m. at Calhoun Funeral Home in Bedford Heights, Ohio, on Friday and will be laid to rest Saturday.

"In the 1960s in pro football, the positions up the middle – quarterback, center and middle linebacker – were reserved for white players because they were 'thinking man's' positions," Acho said by text. "It wasn't until Bill Cottrell, who was extremely smart, that it was thought that black players could play center. He was the first."

Khamtai Siphandone obit

Former President Khamtai Siphandone Passes Away at 101 

He was not on the list.


The Former President of Laos, Khamtai Siphandone, passed away at the age of 101 at his home in Vientiane Capital on 2 April. From 3 to 7 April, the country will enter a period of mourning from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the National Convention Centre.

During this period, all activities, parties, and sports competitions are prohibited.

The funeral will be held at That Luang Ground on 7 April, starting at 1:00 PM.

Khamtai Siphandone is mourned by his family, including his son Sonexay Siphandone, the current Prime Minister of Laos, and his daughter Viengthong Siphandone, who serves as the President of the State Audit Organization. His passing is a loss felt by the entire nation.

Born in 1924 in Huakhongphayai village, Khong district (now part of Champasack Province), Khamtai came from a low-income family. His parents, Ny Nilaxay and Saybua Nilaxay, raised him alongside six siblings.

Due to the absence of a school in his village, Khamtai didn’t start his education until the age of seven.

In 1931, an officer of the department of religious affairs in Vientiane visited his village and selected talented children to study in Vientiane. Khamtai was chosen and began his primary education. He later passed the entrance exam for the prestigious College PAVIE (now Vientiane Secondary School), the only secondary school in Laos at the time.

However, in late 1941, when the officer, who had a key role in Khamtai’s upbringing, passed away unexpectedly, Khamtai’s family faced financial hardship, leading him to leave school and start working as a postman.

This marked the beginning of his career, transitioning from a student to a civil servant.

He later moved to Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) to study a specialized course, and upon returning to Laos in 1944, he became a telegrapher in Phongsaly Province.

In the years following World War II, Khamtai joined the movement for Laos’ independence from French rule.

In 1946, he seized provincial funds in Pakse before the French regained control, according to the MInistry of National Defense of Laos.

By 1950, he aligned with the Viet Minh-backed Pathet Lao. He became a member of the Communist Party of Indochina in 1954, and one year later, he joined the Lao People’s Party.

After the communist victory in 1975, Khamtai served as Laos’ Minister of Defense and later became Deputy Prime Minister.

He became Prime Minister in 1991, succeeding Kaysone Phomvihane, and served as President from 1998 until 2006, when he was succeeded by Choummaly Sayasone.

Today, Khamtai’s legacy continues through his family. His son, Sonexay, became Prime Minister of Laos in 2022, and his daughter, Viengthong, heads the State Audit Organization. His son-in-law, Khampheng Saysomphen, is the current Minister of Labour and Social Welfare.

In February 2024, Khamtai celebrated his 100th birthday, receiving messages of congratulations from Vietnamese leaders, along with a gift presented by the Vietnamese ambassador.

To mark his centenary, last year, the Kaysone Phomvihane Museum also held a special three-month exhibition in honor of Khamtai’s life and revolutionary contributions. The exhibition featured 275 photos, 30 documents, and 20 artifacts, allowing visitors to explore his remarkable legacy.

Dead at 86 ...'Poetry in Motion,' 'Without You' Singer

He was not on the list.


Johnny Tillotson -- a well-known pop singer with multiple top 10 hits over the years -- has died ... TMZ has confirmed.

The songwriter's wife, Nancy, announced the news on her Facebook page Wednesday morning ... revealing the veteran musician passed away yesterday. Nancy highlighted Tillotson's many achievements through the years, and thanked his fans for always supporting her husband.

We spoke with Nancy, who tells TMZ ... Johnny died due to complications from Parkinson's, at his home in L.A., surrounded by family.

Tillotson rose to fame in 1960 ... releasing "Poetry in Motion" -- his best-known song -- which peaked at No. 2 on the charts in the U.S. He followed it up with "Without You" the next year, which hit No. 7.

Among his other well-known songs ... "Talk Back Trembling Lips," "You Can Never Stop Me Loving You," and "It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin'" -- which Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Elvis Presley all covered.

Johnny was a two-time Grammy nominee ... receiving a nomination at the 5th and 8th Grammy Awards way back in the '60s.

Tillotson last released an album -- titled "Johnny Tillotson" -- back in 1977.

He is survived by Nancy, his stepdaughter Genevieve, his brother Dan, and his grandchildren, Nia, Jackson, Georgia and Gwyneth, as well as various nieces and nephews. He was 86.

Val Kilmer obit

Val Kilmer Dies: ‘Top Gun,’ ‘Doors’ & ‘Batman Forever’ Star Was 65

 He was not on the list.


Val Kilmer, the Juilliard-trained actor with leading man looks known for taking on roles that transcended his appearance, has died. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to the New York Times that the actor had passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 65.

Kilmer’s early films included comedies like Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), as well as his breakout role as LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). That was followed by the fantasy film Willow (1988).

His big break as a leading man came with his swaying, leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors.

After his outing as The Lizard King, Kilmer opted for scene-stealing co-starring roles in Tombstone (1993), True Romance (1993) and Heat (1995).

“Someone sent me a poll recently where Tombstone snuck into the top 10 Best Westerns of all time,” Kilmer later told Deadline. “I don’t know if that film is a classic, but it has some elements of a classic, like that cast and screenplay. I still can’t go thru an airport without hearing “I’m your huckleberry.’ “

Kilmer said the key to finding his Doc Holliday was the accent, a “dialect that didn’t exist anymore.”So he reached out to dialect and speech coach Tim Monich for help.

“Within days, there was a tape at my doorstep of a true Southern aristocrat who spoke so slowly and precisely about the theater he had restored. The film would have been 6 hours long he spoke so slowly…so I had to hit a balance. The dialect was key. It informs even the walk, the thought process… his condescension.”

The star’s next leading role came in Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever (1995), which Kilmer originally hoped would be a “radical” take on the iconic superhero. That effort ultimately failed after Kilmer realized he would spend much of the film behind a mask and encased in foam padding.

“The trap was the suit,” he later said.

Wedged in there was the disastrous adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau, which saw the perfect storm of a difficult location shoot in Australia, Marlon Brando in kabuki-esque whiteface and the original director replaced by John Frankenheimer. Kilmer was often said to be difficult on the set.

“I got blamed for ruining he film, even though I died two-thirds of the way thru,” Kilmer told Deadline. “And the film is just as bad when I’m not in it. I always wondered how he could have made that claim with all the evidence against him, till I realized no one every saw the ending!!! And some very fine execs were tortured about the fiasco, and some blamed me without ever getting the true story. One exec in particular who is an amazing talent, used me as a party story for years. Oh well. Win some, lose some.”

The Saint (1997) was his next shot at a franchise. It was a modest box office success, but ultimately didn’t spawn any sequels.

In 2012, Kilmer poured himself into Citizen Twain, a one-man play which saw the actor transformed — in a white suit, wig and shaggy mustache — into America’s greatest satirist, Mark Twain. Kilmer not only starred, he also wrote and directed the play. He later toured the country with a film version of the play.

Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015. A procedure performed as part of his treatment damaged his vocal cords and thereafter he had difficulty speaking. That, in turn, made acting difficult.

At one point, there was a brouhaha over a comment the actor made that some interpreted as a denial he had cancer. There were also rumors that Kilmer, a lifelong Christian Scientist, was trying to pray the disease away.

He later explained later to Deadline, “I was accused of not being forthright. Well, if years ago I had broken a leg and I was asked today if I have any broken bones, I would answer just as I did the cancer question: ‘No, I don’t have any.’ Because I believe that the power of prayer is as potent today as it was in Jesus’ time. There tends to speculation I haven’t done all I can do to be as healthy as I have a right to be. Extraordinary assumptions are often made about others when one considers what a complete mystery our own bodies are to most of us. People are often afraid of what they don’t understand. I was. I’m so grateful I’ve experienced firsthand what consistent prayer and love can offer.”

In 2021, the intensely-private star opened up with a documentary that detailed his life and health struggle called Val. Deadline’s review calls it “an exhilarating, honest and raw look at the life of an actor, this actor, with all the trials and tribulations that go with a 40-year career in front of audiences…the victories and defeats, the will to carry on despite being dealt a devastating blow for any performer.”

Kilmer’s career was given a poignant coda when he reprised Iceman in Top Gun: Maverick (2022). His single scene opposite Cruise proved powerful and provided an emotional center to the film.

That was certainly the case for his superstar foil.

“I was crying, I got emotional,” Cruise later told Jimmy Kimmel about the scene. “For him to come back and play that character…he’s such a powerful actor, that he instantly became that character again…you’re looking at Iceman.”

Of his penchant for taking the road not travelled career-wise, Kilmer told Deadline, “I wouldn’t know what I know now spiritually without turning away from the success as often as I did. I did my ‘time in the wilderness’ in a very serious way, and today I know who I am, and can look any man on earth, in the face, with love, empathy and forgiveness.”
