R.I.P.: Nancy Reagan.

While the former First Lady shall forever remain a controversial and contentious figure within both the LGBT community, and those affected by AIDS, her passing is worth mentioning here -- as Richard Amsel's portrait of her was one of the last covers he did for TV GUIDE, just a few months before the artist's death in 1985. (Coincidentally, Amsel died just a few weeks following Rock Hudson.)

This portrait is owned by artist David Edward Byrd, and remains available for purchase.
