NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Loretta Lynn, the Kentucky coal miner's daughter whose frank songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia pulled her out of poverty and made her a pillar of country music, has died. She was 90.



In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Lynn's family said she died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.



Lynn already had four children before launching her career in the early 1960s, and her songs reflected her pride in her rural Kentucky background.



As a songwriter, she crafted a persona of a defiantly tough woman, a contrast to the stereotypical image of most female country singers. The Country Music Hall of Famer wrote fearlessly about sex and love, cheating husbands, divorce and birth control and sometimes got in trouble with radio programmers for material from which even rock performers once shied away.



Her biggest hits came in the 1960s and '70s, including "Coal Miner's Daughter," "You Ain't Woman Enough," "The Pill," "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "Rated X" and "You're Looking at Country." She was known for appearing in floor-length, wide gowns with elaborate embroidery or rhinestones, many created by her longtime personal assistant and designer Tim Cobb.



Her honesty and unique place in country music was rewarded. She was the first woman ever named entertainer of the year at the genre's two major awards shows, first by the Country Music Association in 1972 and then by the Academy of Country Music three years later.



"It was what I wanted to hear and what I knew other women wanted to hear, too," Lynn told the AP in 2016. "I didn't write for the men; I wrote for us women. And the men loved it, too."

Angela Lansbury, the London-born actress who for seven decades brought a commanding, ladylike presence to stage, screen and television — especially over the 12 years she played dauntless mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher on CBS' Murder, She Wrote — has died. She was 96.



"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 a.m. today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family says in a statement.



Lansbury won five Tony Awards, most recently in 2009 for best featured actress in a play for her work in Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit."



Her best known work on the Great White Way was probably as ghoulish pie maker Nellie Lovett, in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." She cooked up a Tony for best musical actress in 1979 for that role.



Her other three Tony wins were for best actress in a musical for "Mame" in 1966, "Dear World" in 1969 and "Gypsy" in 1975.



The actor had already enjoyed a long and successful career when she took on the small-screen role that many Americans will remember most — as mystery writer and amateur crime fighter Jessica Fletcher on the CBS Sunday night hit "Murder, She Wrote."



"Murder" ran for 12 seasons, from 1984 to 1996, with Lansbury playing a widowed mystery writer whose keen observations always outwitted criminals and even the local police before the real killer would be unmasked within the hour.

[size=150]Jerry Lee Lewis, free-wheeling 'wild man' of rock 'n' roll, dies at 87[/size]



">




Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock 'n' roll trailblazer and piano virtuoso who electrified audiences with his raucous, free-wheeling performances but attracted scandal after he married his 13-year-old cousin, died Friday, his publicist said.



He was 87.



Lewis was a consummate showman who gleefully blended the styles of Black rhythm-and-blues musicians, country crooners and ecstatic Pentecostal preachers. He was nicknamed "the Killer," and his admirers believed he could be the next Elvis Presley.



In performances on stages and television screens, Lewis delighted audiences with flamboyant shenanigans. He stomped on his piano, tapped the keys with his feet and hopped around with devil-may-care verve while belting out popular songs like "Great Balls of Fire."



"He pounded the piano with such abandon that it's a wonder it didn't come apart. He is a defiant, reckless, indefatigable wild man that can rock you into oblivion," the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said when he was inducted in 1986.

[size=150]Legendary comedian Gallagher dead at 76[/size]

The comedian Gallagher, best known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer, has died. He was 76.



His former longtime manager, Craig Marquardo, confirmed with Fox News Digital that he passed away surrounded by his loved ones in California.



"After a short health battle, Gallagher, born Leo Gallagher, succumbed to his ailments and passed away surrounded by his family in Palm Springs, California. He had previously suffered numerous heart attacks, something he and David Letterman talked about on an appearance a few years back."



Gallagher became a household name in 1980 with his comedy special "An Uncensored Evening," which was directed by Mike Nesmith of "The Monkees" fame. It was the first comedy stand-up special ever to air on cable television. He went on to do 12 more for Showtime over the next 27 years.
