Robert Osborne Dies: Beloved Turner Classic Movies Host Was 84
You may not recognize the name Robert Osborne, but if you’re a fan of the Turner Classic Movies network, you almost certainly recognize his face.
For 23 years, Osborn was the face of TCM, the number one cable destination for lovers of Old Hollywood and budding young filmmakers alike.
A respected film historian and preservationist, Osborne was hand-selected by Ted Turner when the network launched in 1994.
He was on the air to introduce the network’s very first film, Gone With the Wind, on April 14, 1994.
“Robert was embraced by devoted fans who saw him as a trusted expert and friend,” TCM general manager Jennifer Dorian said in a statement released moments ago.
“His calming presence, gentlemanly style, encyclopedia knowledge of film history, fervent support of film preservation and highly personal interviewing style all combined to make him a truly world-class host.”
Dorian added:
“Robert’s contributions were fundamental in shaping TCM into what it is today, and we owe him a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.”
In addition to his time at TCM, Osborne worked as a columnist for The Hollywood Reporter for several decades.
His “Rambling Reporter” column ran in the magazine from 1983 to 2009 and was considered a must-read amongst industry insiders.
Tributes to Osborne began pouring in on social media within minutes of the announcement of this death, thus making the beloved TV icon a worldwide trending topic within minutes:
“Very sad to hear about Robert Osborne passing. I programmed on TCM with him in 2015 & it was a treat. He couldn’t have been more charming,” tweeted filmmaker Edgar Wright.
“Robert Osborne was a class act, a true gentleman & his historical nuggets as TCM host made watching those great old movies even better. RIP,” wrote Larry King.
“All of us are better for having known him – I know I am,” said Osborne’s longtime co-star Ben Mankiwiecz.
“So saddened by the death of Robert Osborne of @tcm. He helped spark my interest in classic films. He was a special man,” tweeted Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak.
One Twitter user suggested perhaps the best method of paying tribute to a man whose life was so fully devoted to the cinema:
“I think the best way to honor the life of Robert Osborne is to watch as many classic films as possible. Going to start right now. “

Michelle Obama DNC Speech: An Instant Classic
Yes, Sarah Silverman may have delivered the single line that stood out the most on Monday night at the Democratic National Convention.
But Michelle Obama delivered the speech that will stand the test of time.
Framing the argument for this election not around party lines, but around “who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives,” Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton in the most passionate way possible.
Speaking candidly about Sasha and Malia, Obama brought up the topic of bullying, a clear reference to Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"We don"t stoop to their level. Our motto is: "When they go low, we go high,"" she said.
Words matter, she said. Actions matter.
When she and her husband moved into the White House years ago and and their 10-year old and their 7-year old went off to school with armed Secret Service agents, Obama recalled:
"I saw their little faces pressed up against the window and all I could think was, "What have we done?""
Ever since then, she had focused primarily on making this experience into an important one for her kids.
"We urge them to ignore those who question their father"s citizenship or faith," she said.
"We insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country."
Obama used this angle as a way to segue into why Clinton needs to be elected President.
"What I admire most about Hillary is she never buckled under pressure," the First Lady said. "Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.
"When I think of the kind of president I want for my girls and all our children, that"s what I want – the proven strength to persevere."
Later on, Obama talked emotionally about how the White House was built by slaves.
About how her two African-American daughters now play on its lawn with their dog.
And about how the Republicans spent their Convention trying to tell viewers about all the awful things now going on in the country.
"Don"t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn"t great," she said in a pointed reference to Trump"s campaign slogan.
"This, right now, is the greatest country on earth."
The speech was lauded as one of the all-time best on social media.
And a certain Commander-in-Chief clearly liked it:
It made you understand why someone might want to plagiarize Michelle Obama.
Prepare for some waterworks, and don"t be ashamed if you stand and cheer at one point, as you watch the full Michelle Obama speech from the DNC below:
