1951 William Randolph Hearst, age 88 – US newspaper publisher, who introduced banner headlines and other techniques to sensationalise news. He was reportedly the subject of the movie, Citizen Kane and was the grandfather of Patricia Hearst. He died in Beverly Hills, California I got to see the first tour of his Castle in San Simeon, CA. I think there are four tours total - or used to be. It was quite a site to see, let me tell you. The opulence was astounding.
