Lynn Conway MSEE, age 82. An engineer, she was one of the early pioneers in computer chip design.

In 1968, she was fired by IBM for telling her employer that she planned to undergo sex-reassignment surgery. She was hired by the ground-breaking team at Xerox PARC as a woman and hid her reassignment from her new employer. She later joined DARPA working on US Defense Department supercomputer projects and later in her life, taught at MIT and UMichigan.

In 2000, she came out as a transgender woman. In 2020, IBM formally apologized for firing her 52 years earlier.

Russell Morash, age 88, a television producer.

Mr Morash developed a program for a female chef named Julia Child called "The French Chef" and a home improvement show called, "This Old House".

Russell Morash, ‘This Old House’ and ‘The French Chef’ Producer, Dies at 88

Hailed as a pioneer of D.I.Y. programming, he oversaw groundbreaking how-to shows on public television in the days before HGTV and YouTube.

Hailed as the “father of how-to television” by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which gave him a lifetime achievement Emmy Award in 2014, Mr. Morash helped usher in the D.I.Y. era with the enduring instructional shows that he helped create for the Boston PBS station WGBH.

“The French Chef,” which debuted in 1963, with Mr. Morash as director and producer, and which became Ms. Child’s vehicle to mass-market fame, changed the way Americans thought about food with her distinctly American approach to French cooking. And “This Old House” proved an instant hit in 1979, and remains a ratings powerhouse after 45 years. As of last year, the show and a sister show, “Ask This Old House,” together had received 20 Emmy Awards and 119 Emmy nominations.

Well there you go. Chinatown was one of the best movies he ever turned out. A classic.

And the basis in part for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'.
