Scott, their firstborn, was only 2.5 months old when he died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in November 1959.
“I was only 21; my wife was 20. We were just starting our lives; I was just starting my career in New York,” the legendary director shared in a rare comment about the tragedy in a November 2017 interview with Esquire. “Of course it was traumatic, and how that plays out over time, I don’t know. We had to deal with it. You have to move on. And we had other children who came. But something like that doesn’t get completely dismissed. It probably shows up in various small ways you’re not even aware of.”

LANSING, Iowa (KCRG) – Plans are moving forward on how to keep traffic moving between Iowa and Wisconsin in Lansing when the Mississippi River Bridge closes there.
It comes as crews work to build a new, updated bridge in Lansing between the two states. Construction will force the current bridge to close, but the new one won’t be ready until 2027.
The closure has been a concern for people and businesses in the area. The closest bridges to cross the Mississippi River will otherwise be located in the areas of La Crosse, Wisconsin or Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
In a Facebook post on Monday, the Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing account detailed work is being done in the area as they prepare to launch a ferry between Lansing and Wisconsin.

Construction work will now be done to update the north and south driveways and railroad crossing at the Lansing Marina to accommodate more traffic. That includes:
– North driveway work starts Monday, Sept. 22 and will last about a week.
– Once that’s done, the crew will move to the south driveway on Monday, Sept. 29.
– The driveway being worked on will be closed during construction, but Front Street will stay open.
