Twelve of you have now sent me links (like this one) to obituaries for William "Tex" Henson, an animator who worked for Disney and on the Bullwinkle show. I didn't post anything about him because, frankly, I've barely heard of Mr. Henson, and wasn't even sure why his passing was getting so much coverage. More important figures in animation history have left us with nary a mention in the press. I hope this signals a new trend.
I am told that the remodel of the Cinerama Dome theater up on Sunset has been finished for some time, and that the place is open and running movies. I guess I was fooled by all the construction work that still seems to be in progress on the adjoining shopping center.
