Robert Osborne has died. He was 84 years old.
Osborne is best known by many a cinephile as the main host of the cable television channel Turner Classic Movies. Every night in the primetime slot, he would walk out and deliver refreshing and enlightening intros and outros for the selected films and drop in some fun little nuggets of trivia to make the screenings ever so delightful. He was also known for being the major lynchpin for TCM's other major shows such as "Private Screenings", where he would interview various celebrities about their career and love for film, and "The Essentials", where he and another celebrity would screen a bonafide classic film and have a spirited discussion before and after the airing.
He will sorely be missed.
