Harold Pinter and Eartha Kitt have both died on the same day. Pinter and Kitt entertained the world in their different ways.
Both confronted war mongers, and it earned Pinter the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 and Eartha Kitt exile from the USA for 11 years - she had condemned the Vietnam War at a White House dinner.
Both won't be easily forgotten; Ms Kitt for her gravely voice, Mr Pinter for his brooding books and plays featuring those long pauses heightening tension, a style now known as 'Pinteresque'.
Both are hard acts to follow.
