"In every other Bond film between Dr No (1962) and A View to a Kill (1985), Moneypenny was played by Lois Maxwell but Connery knew Salem from when they had appeared together in the heist comedy The First Great Train Robbery (1978), her big-screen breakthrough after appearing in a string of small roles in such TV dramas as The Onedin Line.
In the 1990s Salem moved to Los Angeles and appeared in the popular American TV dramas ER and The West Wing. She later settled in a beachfront home in Florida and found a new career recording audio-dramas for the company Big Finish and as a co-writer and producer with her husband, the Irish actor Michael O’Hagan. They had married in 1983; he predeceased her in 2017.
Pamela Fortunee Salem was born in 1944 in Bombay (now Mumbai), one of two daughters to a Jewish father and a Sri Lankan mother. Pamela Salem, actress, was born on January 22, 1944. She died of undisclosed causes on February 21, 2024, aged 80 "

gg never heard of him but an interesting post.Shigeichi Negishi is no more. He died at 100 having fallen over. Thus ended the life of a man who profoundly changed weddings, late night booze ups, alcohol fuelled crooning and gang fights over a lost chord. In 1967 he invented the Karaoke.
SN was a tinkerer and a very successful one and a constant inventor of audio and transistor machines in the days of radio and early TV. He was singing to a song on Tokyo radio one day in 1967 when an employee mocked his timing. Thus an idea was born and shortly after he had boxed a gadget which he called a Sparko. He took it home and his family sang long in to the night.
It was initially accompanied by a pamphlet with words to the songs but eventually evolved to the machine it is today. He continued his inventing but none of his ideas were as successful nor as annoying as the Karaoke Machine.

CNN —
Daniel Kahneman, who won the Nobel Prize for his pioneering theories on behavioral economics, has died. He was 90.
The Israeli-American psychologist died peacefully on Wednesday, according to a release from Princeton University, whose faculty he had joined in 1993. His cause of death was not provided.
Kahneman, who also wrote the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow, helped debunk the notion that people’s behavior is driven by rational decision-making, and instead is often based on instinct.
“Danny was a giant in the field,” Eldar Shafir, a former colleague at Princeton University said in the release. “Many areas in the social sciences simply have not been the same since he arrived on the scene. He will be greatly missed.”
Kahneman was born in Tel Aviv in 1934, but his French parents returned home to Paris when he was three months old.
Six years later, as Kahneman was finishing first grade, the Nazis invaded France, and his family was forced to wear the yellow star that marked Jews for mass deportations to concentration camps.
His father, a research chemist, was taken away but then released and the family escaped to unoccupied France and spent the rest of the war in hiding. His father died in 1944, and 12-year-old Kahneman moved to British-ruled Palestine with his mother two years later, just before the creation of the state of Israel.
Kahneman studied math and psychology at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and went on to earn a Ph.D. at Berkeley, studying statistics, the psychology of visual perception — why things look the way they do — and how people interact in groups.
Then, at 27, he returned to Hebrew University to teach statistics and psychology and began his famous partnership with Amos Tversky, also a Hebrew University psychology professor.
In 2002, six years after Tversky’s death, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in Economics for their models of how intuitive reasoning is flawed in predictable ways.
Kahneman integrated insights from psychology into economics, especially concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in its citation at the time.
