He always looked like Kurt Russell's prettier older brother.

Would not happen to me.
My wife had special conditions prior to marrying.
No motorbike no alpines no speleology.
She later added no flying after a good friend of ours crashed in a ulnar. Ultra light motorised.
I must confess I drive a motorbike even worse than I type.

Just saw that news in my seven-hours-behind-London home. She was a great woman.

I admired Glenda Jackson tremendously, she was a great actress.

Glenda Jackson was my favourite actress in the 1970s.
Meanwhile, I was surprised that Frederic Forrest was 86 years old. I remember him from Apocalypse Now and The Rose.

Aw. I always liked him. Another good actor, Frederick Forrest, also died. I was surprised at his age because I first remember him in Apocalypse Now. I was 30 or 31 when the movie came out, but Forrest in his role as Chef looked no more than 20 & continued looking young in many appearances thereafter. |

Actress Josephine Chaplin died on 13 July, but her death has only just been announced. She was not as well known as her sister Geraldine.

Scottish actor David McCallum has died at age 90. Even though I watched him on NCIS, my mental image of him will always be from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

At one point, may years ago in NCIS, Jethro was asked what Ducky looked like when he was younger. "Illya Kuryakin" was the reply.

Michael Gambon has died. That's already the second Dumbledore, but he also played Maigret.

The best Maigret is Jean Gabin.
Then Bruno Crémer.
The worst is Jean Richard.

There have been adaptations of Maigret all around the world, including Japan and Russia.
