Howard Zinn suffered a fatal heart attack yesterday at the age of 87.
An activist, historian, and author, Zinn is probably best-known for his book A People's History of the United States. Depending when and where you attended university, it's a good bet his book was on a reading list somewhere along your educational path.
We also mourn the loss today of Zelda Rubinstein, who died yesterday after a string of illnesses.
Rubinstein is best-known for her role in the "Poltergeist" movies. In addition to roles in other films, including a stint as a Munchkin, Rubinstein was, as EW.com puts it, and AIDS activist before being an AIDS activist was fashionable.
Below is a clip of Rubinstein making her first appearance as psychic avenger Tangina Barrons.
