From a few days ago:

Arleen Sorkin, 'incredibly talented' voice of Harley Quinn, 'Days of Our Lives' star, dies at 67

$1:
Arleen Sorkin, the original voice and inspiration behind DC Comics character Harley Quinn, has died. She was 67.

Her death was confirmed to USA TODAY on Sunday by Christopher Silbermann, the agent of Sorkin's husband, producer and writer Christopher Lloyd. The actress died of multiple sclerosis.

"We will always remember our dear Arleen for her immense generosity of spirit," Sorkin's family said in a statement. "Talented, yes, and dogged too, as evidenced by her tenacious, decades-long fight with a terrible disease. But more than that she was a loving presence in the lives of her two boys, Eli and Owen, her mother Joyce, and brothers Robert and Arthur, and the countless other children, old and young whom she took under her beautiful wing over the years."

The family added: "It's a sad day for us, but a joyous one too knowing how many people today are summoning her memory and smiling."

Harley Quinn made her debut in "Batman: The Animated Series" in 1992. She was originally only meant to star in one episode before the character became a standout villain of her own.

"Batman" writer Paul Dini was inspired by seeing his friend Sorkin on "Days of Our Lives" and "Duet," playing a "very snappy, wisecracking, bubbly blonde," Dini said in an interview with Yahoo in 2016.

"So when I came up with Harley, I asked (Arleen), 'Do you want to do the voice?' And she said, 'Yes.' We brought her in − it was her first voiceover and she did a tremendous job on it," he recalled.


Sad. The deep, well rounded character of Harley Quinn wouldn't exist today if not for Arleen.

Ought to fly a Hawaiian shirt at half-mast in mourning from every flagpole on the continent. RIP, Jimmy, may you enjoy eternity where those wonderful frozen concoctions always remain cool & tasty, where no one leaves pop-tops in the sand to cut up your heel, and where the shaker of salt never gets lost.

‘She played it down’: Bletchley Park codebreaker dies at 99

$1:
One of the last surviving female Bletchley Park codebreakers, who worked helping to decipher enemy communications during the second world war, has died aged 99.

Margaret Betts, of Ipswich, Suffolk, was 19 when she was headhunted by “men from the ministry”, having performed well at school, her son Jonathan Betts, 68, said.

He said she agreed to help, explaining: “She had recently lost her brother because his ship had been sunk by a German U-boat.

“It was absolutely tragic, he had just married a few weeks before, the whole family was in terrible shock and desperate to do something, to do their bit. She was inspired by this and said ‘absolutely, any way I can help I will’.
