Was very sad to hear of the passing of Ben Cross. Wonderful actor and gentleman. Always feel he could have been a good fit somewhere in the Bond Universe.
Wow--Chariots of Fire was quite an "event" film when I was a teenager. RIP.
This is one of those deaths that really blinded sides you. Reminds me of how I felt hearing the news about Heath Ledger and Kobe. I thought I was misreading who had died.

Apparently he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer back in 2016 and even with treatment and numerous surgeries it advanced to stage 4! I had seen pictures of him a few months back and he looked really thin but I didn't know he was so sick!
Wow, I haven't watched/read the news today so this was the first I heard about Boseman. He was a fantastic actor—I thought he was brilliant as James Brown in Get On Up, and of course as T’Challa in Black Panther. It was only a week or so ago that I read that he was going to be producing an upcoming show with Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, The Orville etc) about the 1957 landmark Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education.
One of my favorite Diana Rigg performances is one you don't hear a lot about. . .as Lady Dedlock in a 1980s serial version of Dickens's Bleak House. She conveyed a lot: decaying glamor, guilt, shame, fear. . . She really was a wonderful performer. Rest in Peace, Milady.

Very sad to hear of the death today of the beautiful and immensely talented Dame Diana Rigg, the one and only Mrs Bond. One of the best and most fully-rounded Bond women from the best Bond film, OHMSS.

This one really hit me hard, too. In his short time, Chadwick Boseman not only showed what an outstanding actor he was with a handful of truly memorable roles (especially James Brown and, of course, T’Challa/Black Panther). But by all accounts he was also a tremendous human being as well. Truly a heartbreaking loss.

Sad news that Daniel Craig's father has died.
My condolences to Mr. Craig and his family.

And you can’t argue with that...
RIP Dame Diana -{

She was the the star of my favourite Bond film. RIP.
For Bond fans, Diana Rigg's Tracy will always remain a key figure in the series' history and legacy.
Very sad to hear of the passing of this fine actress.
She will be in Edgar Wright's upcoming horror film "Last Night in Soho"
