Matthew Bannister on US diplomat Richard Holbrooke, film director Blake Edwards, Russian poet Bella Akhmadulina and New York restaurateur Elaine Kaufman.
On Last Word this week:
Richard Holbrooke - the bulldozer of US diplomacy who negotiated an end to the war in Bosnia.
The film director Blake Edwards who brought us Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther", Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Dudley Moore in "10".
The Russian poet Bella Akhmadulina, a superstar whose fans flocked to football stadia to hear her read
And the doyen of New York restaurateurs - Elaine Kaufman - whose eponymous eatery played host to the rich and famous.
