'Jesus Christ Superstar' Director Norman Jewison Dead at 97 While his biggest claim to fame is, perhaps, the 1973 musical -- adapted from the famed Broadway play -- Norman has tons of notable films under his directorial belt from over the years ... including 'Moonstruck,' 'In the Heat of the Night' and 'The Hurricane,' just to name a few. Other movies he directed throughout his career ... 'Fiddler on the Roof,' 'The Cincinnati Kid,' 'Rollerball,' 'And Justice for All,' 'Best Friends,' 'F.I.S.T.,' 'A Soldier's Story,' 'Agnes of God,' 'In Country,' 'Only You,' 'Dinner with Friends' ... and many more. Of course, while Norman's film career was most certainly prolific -- he actually got his start in television ... serving as the director on episodes for huge shows like 'The Big Party,' 'The Chevy Showroom Starring Andy Williams,' 'Your Hit Parade,' 'The Revlon Revue' and others. NJ also produced for shows like 'The Judy Garland Show.' Norman was a decorated director ... having been nominated for 3 Oscars in three separate decades.

'Soft Moon' singer Luis Vasquez, DJ Juan Mendez found dead in DTLA at 44 An investigation continues after three people were found dead in a downtown Los Angeles loft last week, two of them prominent figures with roots in the Los Angeles music scene. Jose "Luis" Vasquez, musician of "The Soft Moon" and John "Juan" Mendez a.k.a. "Silent Servant," were among the three people found dead in downtown LA, having died from a suspected fentanyl overdose, authorities told the Los Angeles Times. The third person was identified as Simone Ling, Mendez's partner. Sources told the publication the three people were found at Mendez's home at the Pacific Electric Lofts on Main Street after Vasquez's wife called police for a welfare check. Additionally, drug paraphernalia was found at the scene, according to officials. "It is with great sadness that we announce our dear friend, Luis Vasquez has passed away," read a statement on The Soft Moon's social media. "Our hearts and thoughts are with his family, friends and extended music family. We ask you to respect their privacy during this difficult time…This is a huge loss and our hearts are broken." Vasquez started The Soft Moon as a home-recording project that evolved into a popular post-punk/darkwave project, Deadline reported, establishing a worldwide fan base. Mendez began releasing music as Silent Servant in 2006 and in the years following shared numerous singles, EPs, and collaborative projects. In November last year, Silent Servant released his final album, ‘In Memoriam’, via Berlin’s Tresor.
