The only time I saw her, when I was a child and she visited New Zealand. The only thing I have against her, is once (again as a child) I was slapped by an usher in a movie theater for refusing to stand for "God save the Queen". Although I don't hold that against her, as it wasn't her literal hand that slapped me. I am sure she tried her best throughout many difficult times.

My she rest in peace.

Of some interest to this forum, I think: Valeri Polyakov, who spent the longest single stint in space (a 14 month session aboard the Mir space station back in 1994-95), died yesterday.

Great actress, seen her in many roles. I prefer to remember her in her role in the Court Jester. Great movie I recommend to watch. Comedy, Basil Rathbone, Cloak and Dagger, Romance and much much more. Did I mention Basil Rathbone?

Big Robbie Coltrane has passed away at 72.

I met him about 30 years ago when he came into the place I was working in at the time, and when I say big I mean the guy was big in all directions, but he was a nice guy who hadn't let fame get to him.

Yeah, shame that--guy had a great range as an actor. I mean, who else can you think of who equally successfully played a Bond semi-villain and a giant from a fantasy novel?

Indeed, had an incredible career, I remember him for doing sub Lt Phillips in the Navy Lark, (very funny radio series) And looking through his film and television career, he certainly was very talented and did a huge amount of work.

Will be very sadly missed.

RIP

Salutes :)
