Sid Caesar - d. February 12th 2014

Your life of lives
was always other people,
other voices, other faces,
a showreel of expressions,

a ninety-year ad lib.

Shirley Temple - d. February 10th 2014


You had three deaths;
the first at 6, 
Oscar in hand,
then again at 21,
as good as dead.
Finally,
your adult self,
a child we hardly knew.

Philip Seymour Hoffman - d. February 2nd 2014

We remarked so often
on your delivery,
the truth of your role.
Sad then, to see you
hit your mark so early,
way before your cue.
