The Obits: The New York Times Annual 2012

New York Times Obituaries Editors, William McDonald, is back again with a new collection of obituaries for the colorful figures who have died this year. Here's your chance to get a glimpse into the lives of the provocative and powerful, the saintly and the scandalous. Did you know Steve Jobs had a long-lost sister? Or that Loretta Young and Clark Gable had a love child. Or that Stalin’s daughter, Lana Peters - the “little Princess of the Kremlin”—ended up in a cabin in northern Wisconsin?

This year’s collection features the obituaries of 144 characters, renegades, and innovators. William McDonald is editor of The Obits: The New York Times Annual 2012 and has been obituaries editor at the Times since 2006.
