Lou Lombardo (filmmaker)
Lombardo and his wife, Lynn, had two daughters and a son, Tony Lombardo, who also became a film editor. In addition to his son, Lombardo mentored Dennis M. Hill and Paul Rubell in the early stages of their careers. Lombardo was interviewed about his career by Vincent LoBrutto in 1991. In that same year, he suffered a stroke that left him comatose until his death in 2002.
Lou Reed
He contributed music to two theatrical interpretations of 19th century writers, one of which he developed into an album titled "The Raven". He married his third wife Laurie Anderson in 2008, and recorded the collaboration album "Lulu" with Metallica. He died in 2013 of liver disease. Reed's distinctive deadpan voice, poetic lyrics and experimental guitar playing were trademarks throughout his long career.
