Seems like Doris Day has passed away aged 97. Great actress whose films I enjoyed watching.

Good one BugMeister!

Let's not forget Doris' keynote song that became her themesong for her TV Show either:

Goodbye Doris. 97 was a good long run.

Hate to double post, but my particular field lost one of their greats.

Architectural Designer I. M. Pei.

You know his work, especially the glass pyramid in Paris.

He was past 100 so it was neither sudden nor unexpected. Almost the opposite that can be said of his works.

(He's most likely asking about remodeling the pearly gates)

Niki Lauda R.I.P.

Niki Lauda R.I.P.

Yeah, heard that on the radio this morning. Sad news--the way he fought back and nearly won the 1976 F1 World Championship despite his horrific crash in Germany was amazing.

Gutted by his death. - I'm gonna miss his straight talking. An amazing man and a huge loss. R.I.P.

Of less fame, but some note; Nan Winton, the first woman to read the news on the BBC, (and only one for the following 15 years!) passed away earlier this month, it has been announced. If anyone wants reminding of the levels of prejudice women faced in decades gone, here's a part of her story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-48348661. Whilst we've thankfully left some of that behind, it's sad to think that pioneers such as Nan didn't see us achieve more in equalising society in a long lifetime.

Avon was a fantastic character, and Paul Darrow acted him flawlessly. Who can forget this exchange:

Vila: I'm entitled to my opinion!
Avon: It is your assumption that we are also entitled to it which is irritating.

Oh no! thats made me really sad and the woman that played servalan
Jacqueline Pearce died last september so RIP to the both of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=choR1HLDz8Q

Max Wright died.
I doubt many will know who I'm talking about. To be honest, my memory is too bad to recall who he was. But the name of his best known role is better known. Willie Tanner.
If that still doesn't ring a bell... Alf. Willie was the father of the family.

Rutger Hauer passed away last Friday after short illness he was aged 75, probably best known for his role as Roy Batty in Blade Runner but he played many roles over his acting career. One of my personal favourites was Blind Fury where he played a blind Vietnam vet who wielded a sword.

R.I.P. Rutger.

As a child of the 80's, he forever resides in my mind for the Guinness adverts.

As a child of the seventies he will always be Roy Batty in my mind. The "Tears in the rain" monologue is, imho, one of the most powerful moments in modern film.

rest in peace Rutger Hauer

[berth]

Yep, sad news. He was also great in "The Hitcher".

[Stu Austin]

Max Wright. I loved that guy. Him and Alf were my two favorites. They made a great pair. R.I.P. Willie Tanner.

Peter Fonda passed away at age 79. Rest in peace Easy Rider.
