Barry Newman, who was behind the wheel of a “super-charged” Dodge Challenger in Vanishing Point, a 1971 film featuring several breakneck police chases, and later starred as a defense attorney on the NBC series Petrocelli, has died. He was 92.
He died May 11 in a New York hospital, with his death confirmed by social media posts from friends. No cause has been established.
Newman had appeared on Broadway and the film The Lawyer (1970) (which later spun off into the TV series Petrocelli) when he was offered Vanishing Point. In the film, his drug-addicted character was tasked with delivering a car from Colorado to California, with the stipulation that if he could do it in 15 hours, his meth purchase would be free.
The film was directed by Richard C. Sarafian and became a cult classic, as Cleavon Little kept up a steady stream of radio chatter on the epic journey. No less than...

When you’re asked if you want to go to lunch with Adam Pally, the first thing you do is say yes. Then, from there, you and Adam can probably figure the rest of it out, in terms of what you want to talk about, what you can eat at 11 a.m., etc. In fact, your lunch might end up going a little something like this …
Having lunch at 11 a.m. can feel a bit odd, but it’s a fact that Pally will acknowledge before ordering lobster anyway.
Entertainment Weekly: So how are things going? When did you get here?...

New York — If entire bands were singular people, then much-buzzed newcomers Yuck would probably be the dude at the party who's standing alone in a dark corner, awkwardly staring into his drink and sorta creeping everyone out.
In other words, they'd be J Mascis. If J Mascis ever got invited to parties. And much like the frumpy Dinosaur Jr. mastermind, Yuck don't win you over with their showmanship; they do it with their slouched charisma. And that anti-appeal was on display Saturday night at the Bowery Ballroom, as the band put the finishing touches on their U.S. tour, and won pretty much everyone over in the process. Bad posture notwithstanding.
Lead singer Daniel Blumberg with his best friend Max Bloom, Yuck hit the stage like they always do, hunched over their instruments, faces stoic except for the unmistakable grin (and sizeable 'fro) of drummer Jonny Rogoff.
