Milton Glaser

Graphic artist Milton Glaser (June 26, 1929-June 26, 2020) has created innovative designs for organizations and corporations, books and magazines, album covers and posters, grocery stores and restaurants, and even a state! Glaser, the son of Hungarian immigrants, studied at New York’s Cooper Union and worked for Vogue magazine before entering the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Italy. He helped set up a design shop, Push Pin Studios, which introduced ads and magazines to new graphics and illustrations.

Ian Holm

Sir Ian Holm (September 12, 1931-June 19, 2020) was five-foot-five. Still, in the time-travel comedy “Time Bandits,” his comical depiction of the French emperor was only one of many, many times when he played vivid characters of concealed complexity, combining character defects and mystery with a puckish wit. (No wonder he played Puck in two film versions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”) He was a star in supporting roles in more than 100 films and hundreds of stage appearances, seemingly appearing out of nowhere to provide a jolt of laughter, terror, or endearing humanity.
