I read about him in Den of Thieves, he was the inspiration for Gordon Gekko in Wall Street.
Fairly unflattering obituary.

An inspiration for the Gordon Gekko character in the movie “Wall Street,” he made a fortune from insider trading before his downfall brought a crashing end to a decade of greed.

bless her - RIP Bette

Bette Nash, world's longest-serving flight attendant, dies at 88

After serving the skies for nearly 67 years, Bette Nash, the world's longest-tenured flight attendant, has died at 88 years old. "It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear colleague, Bette Nash, the longest-tenured flight attendant at American Airlines," according to a...

www.yahoo.com

When Nash first started her aviation career, passengers would purchase life insurance from a vending machine before boarding -- and flights cost $12 between New York and Washington. D.C., she told ABC News in a 2022 interview.

At the time, Nash reflected on the strict restrictions regarding weight and personal relationships she and other flight attendants had to endure to maintain their careers.

Nash said the airline would check on her at home to ensure she wasn't living with a man because flight attendants had to be single. The airline also weighed her before shifts and could suspend her if she gained too much weight, she said.

"You had to be a certain height, you had to be a certain weight. It used to be horrible. You put on a few pounds and you had to keep weighing yourself, and then if you stayed that way, they would take you off the payroll," Nash said during a flight in 2017 with ABC affiliate WJLA's cameras onboard.

Before her passing, Nash attended regular flight attendant training per Federal Aviation Administration rules.
