Fredric Jameson has passed--what an unmatched American intellectual presence for the last 50 (at least) years. "Marxism and Form" is his best book, imho, but my favorite line of his comes from "Brecht and Method": "History puts its worst foot forward." Rest in Power, Fred.

"Ruth Ann Baldwin was one of many female directors working at Universal during the silent era. A keen awareness of narrative convention as well as a wry perspective on the motion picture business comes across in [her] surviving feature, ’49-’17 (1917)." wfpp.columbia.edu/pioneer/ccp-ru…
