We've missed a number of people in this list. Perhaps out of cultural or generational differences.. Did we list Tommy Lasorda?
Thomas Charles Lasorda (September 22, 1927 – January 7, 2021) was an American professional baseball pitcher and manager. He managed the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1976 through 1996. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager in 1997.
From the Latin World, people we didn't list, were former Argentinean president Carlos Menem (2 July 1930 – 14 February 2021),
Dominican musician and Latin record producer Johnny Pacheco (25 March 1935 – 15 February 2021); while living in New York City in the 1960s, he promoted "Salsa" a hybrid multinational Latin music fusion which would sweep Latin America in the 70s and 80s, and revolutionize the business of Latin music as an international industry.
Most recently, a character who would be completely unknown in the English speaking world but very well known to children all over the Spanish speaking world would be Ricardo González Gutiérrez known as "Cepillín" (Spanish: "Little Brush, " February 7, 1946 – March 8, 2021), a Mexican clown as well as singer, TV host, and actor. Originally a young dentist from the northern city of Monterrey, he started painting his face to take the fear away from children as they were having dental work done. He found success entertaining children, which led to a long career as a multi faceted entertainer; he was an advocate for children as well as a political activist.
