Scott Spiegel. A screenwriter and director. Ok, he's mostly known to the movie buffs as a friend of a couple of directors before they made it: Sam Raimi, Coen brothers, and Tarantino.
I mostly know him from the biography of Tarantino I read back in the day where I saw his photo that etched into my mind because how geeky it was.
Here's the picture
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He was married for 50 years. Unusual for average people but almost unheard of in the entertainment business.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Charlie Kirk shot dead during a speaking appearance at Utah Valley University. Apparently the topic was gun violence.
