Hillary Clinton — who I love but who I would never argue was Harvey Milk, yet who has shown herself to be a reliable LGBTQ ally — was a surpise eulogist at Edie Windsor's funeral Friday, prasing the equality hero and imploring all within earshot to stand up for justice.
It went way better than her Nancy Reagan eulogy. Way. Better.

NYDN: Hillary's eulogy for Edie Windsor was passionate and inspired: “That she experienced loss, grief and injustice made her only more generous, more open-hearted and more fearless in her fight. She refused to give up on the promise of America. There wasn't a cynical, defeatist bone in her body.” We missed out on a great president and outspoken LGBTQ friend.

L.A. Times: Olivia de Havilland, 101, is still duking it out with Ryan Murphy over his inaccurate depiction of her in his wildly entertaining Feud. In part, she claims she never called her sister a bitch because she doesn't use such vulgarities. Well ...
ExtraTV: Legendary character actor Harry Dean Stanton has died @ 91. Stanton made his TV debut in 1954 and worked until his death. Among his many film roles: The Godfather: Part II (1974), Alien (1979), Pretty in Pink (1986) and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). He also appeared, more recently, on the TV series Big Love (2006-2010), Getting On (2013-2015) and Twin Peaks (2017). I, of course, loved his 1985 Q&A with Madonna for Interview Magazine. RIP.
Harry Dean has got a rebelliousness in him, a freedom, a youthfulness, that even most young people don't have. At the same time, he has the wisdom of the ages, an Eastern philosophical point of view. — Madonna on Harry Dean Stanton (1986)
