It's been a weird and sad week for childhood heroes. First Adam Yauch died, now, the famous author of "Where The Wild Things Are", Maurice Sendak, passed away Tuesday, at the of age of 83.

"I shouldn't have logged on to the internet today…" that was my initial response when reading the news about Adam Yauch last Friday. The Beastie Boys have been around for as long as I can remember and even though they've matured over the years, they always remained young in my eyes. These are the reasons why MCA's death came as such a shock to me.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were married for 50 years until his death. Most likely Paul Newman picked up this instrument in Martin Ritt's Paris Blues starring him as trombone-playing Ram Bowen along Sidney Poitier.

This photo taken by Bill Ray in 1966 shows Michael Caine lifting Natalie Wood with one hand and holding a cigarette in the other. Fun fact: if you say "my cocaine" out loud, you sound like you are saying "Michael Caine" in his own voice.

It's likely this article will only be big in Germany but I had to run it: David Hasselhoff in an all-leather outfit, minus a shirt, plus some chest hair, with a falcon on his arm. I do hope this is a promo shot of a movie, otherwise it'd be hard to make any sense of this.

John Candy (23) and Bill Murray (22) ponder the meaning of life. Or something else. We don't care actually, because the photo is just great. It was taken in 1973 during their time at Second City.

This photo of Sofia sitting on the shoulders of her father Francis Ford was taken at the Cannes film festival in 1979. This very moment was recreated by Wes Anderson in his movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" when Steve Zissou is carrying Werner at the end.

There's a list of people I always search for on Youtube in case I am bored: Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski are both among them. I am not sure if this photo was staged or not, but as they both admitted they tried to murder each other several times it might as well be real.

This photo of Steve McQueen (front), James Garner (back) and James Coburn (sidecar) was taken on the set of the great movie The Great Escape. I dare you to show me a photo with more combined coolness.

Here's a list of things the internet is always into: famous people, cats and trolling. So here is a photo of Paul Newman with a cat on his shoulder while eating ice-cream in a zoo where no dogs and pets are allowed – by the way: aren't dogs pets anyway?

This photo of Audrey Hepburn going shopping with a baby deer (fun fact: the pet's name is Ip, short for Pippin) was taken by Bob Willoughby, who met her shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953 and continued to shoot her for over a decade.
-
This photo of Sean Connery wearing a wedding dress was taken in 1974 on the set of Zardoz. I have no clue what else to add here. Speechless.
-
This photo of Lou Reed wearing – yes – a Lou Reed shirt was taken by Sheri Lynn Behr in 1974.
-
This photo of Bill Cosby smoking a cigar, sporting a moustache and looking a little bit tired was obviously taken before he started wearing Cosby sweaters.
-
A nice photo of Cary Grant shooting a movie while looking classy. And yes, the "overly descriptive title" series is back after a small hiatus.
-
This photo of Martin Scorsese, one of my favorite directors, holding a gun and grapes was taken by Steve Schapiro during the filming of Taxi Driver.
-
This photo of Joni Mitchell hugging Leonard Cohen was taken in 1967 – they had a fling during that time after being introduced to each other by Judy Collins at the Newport Folk Festival.
-
This photo of Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Marc Bolan and Harry Nilsson in the studio was taken during the recording of Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies". I especially like Harry Nilsson with the microphone in one hand and the glass in the other hand.
-
I love this still from the movie "Royal Tenenbaums": Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) has a meltdown at a tennis match, takes off both his shoes and one sock and sits down. He loses the match against Ghandi.

This photo of Jack Nicholson sporting a moustache and sailor hat is from the movie "The Last Detail" by Hal Ashby – it was also used on the film poster. We think it's fair to feature an in-focus shot of Jack Nicholson after showing a blurry one some days ago.
