Martin Landau
I mostly remember him from that lurid TV series with actress Barbara Bain, Space 1999.
But here is the end of the Woody Allen movie, "Crimes & Misdemeanors":

Jeanne Moreau 23 January 1928 — 31 July 2017
July 31st. Late to announce this, but she was one of the finest actresses ever.
I still rank Jules et Jim one of the best movies ever made.

Delores O'Riordan

Ursula K. Le Guin, 88
Damn! Probably my favorite author and certainly favorite living author until today.
Here is one her last public appearances:
Ursula K. Le Guin's Warning on the Dangers of Capitalism (Video) - Truthdig: Expert Reporting, Current News, Provocative Columnists
Edited by xongsmith, : add link to award acceptance speech

Aretha Franklin, 76
Queen of soul. Here's how Bob Dylan began his book, Tarantula:
"Guns, the Falcon's Mouthbook
& Gashcat Unpunished
aretha/ crystal jukebox queen of hymn & him diffused in drunk transfusion wound would heed sweet soundwave crippled & cry salute to oh great particular el dorado reel & ye battered personal god but she cannot she the leader of whom when ye follow, she cannot she has no back she cannot . . . beneath black flowery railroad fans & fig leaf shades & dogs of all nite joes, grow like arches & cures the harmonica battalions of bitter cowards, bones & bygones while what steadier louder the moans & arms of funeral landlord with one passionate kiss rehearse from dusk & climbing into the bushes with some favorite enemy ripping the postage stamps & crazy mailmen & waving all rank & familiar ambition than that itself, is needed to know that mother is not a lady . . . aretha with no goals, eternally single & one step soft of heaven/ let it be understood that she owns this melody along with her emotional diplomats & her earth & her musical secrets"
