RIP Larry McMurtry, author of "The Last Picture Show" and "Lonesome Dove"

Question

I believe his profile is: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McMurtry-160
A couple of years back, when it was 'open', I was able to find quite a few of his Texas ancestors.

Answer 1

Another Notable passes - it's been a busy week (unfortunately) in that area. I've got his profile open if anyone would like to contribute to his profile. Thanks.

YES. 2021 isn't easing up on singers, actors, authors or other notables. Just this year: Richard Gilliland, George Segal, Sabine Schmitz, Yaphet Kotto, (young) Taylor Dee, Norton Juster ("The Phantom Tollbooth"), Bunny Wailer, Rush Limbaugh, Chick Corea, Mary Wilson, Christopher Plummber, Jessica Walter from yesterday, Cicely Tyson, Cloris Leachman, Hal Holbrook, Larry King, Jimmie Rodgers ("Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"), Phil Spector, Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls guitarist), Tanya Roberts, Barbara Shelley, Gerry Marsden (Gerry & the Pacemakers) - that's a lot of Popular Culture from 1960 to 2021.
