Departures: Abascal, Hastert, and Saint

María del Carmen Abascal refused to leave her Madrid apartment after an investment fund raised the rent, and her eviction sparked protests, a deal for her return and a housing fight that reached parliament before she died in hospital. Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the US House, went to prison for structuring cash withdrawals meant to conceal his sexual abuse of boys he had coached, abuse that could no longer be charged. Eva Marie Saint moved from her film debut opposite Marlon Brando to North by Northwest, then turned down roles to spend the years with her husband and children. Also remembered: George Fenton, Robert Kelker-Kelly, Jeffrey Archer, Jim Bakker.
