Icons we mourn: The Decade

The NY Times does the comprehensive version of my occasional "Icons we mourn" posting. Can't believe how many have gone in just the past ten years. The ones I'll miss the most:

Katharine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Paul Newman, John Gielgud, Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Fred Rogers, Ted Kennedy, John Updike, Nina Simone, Oscar Peterson, Richard Avedon, Sydney Pollack, Yves St. Laurent and Natasha Richardson.

And furthermore, Julia Child, Betty Friedan, Brooke Astor, Madeline L'Engle, Anthony Mingella, and William Safire.
