    Sad to hear of the death of Gabriele Ferzetti. I was surprised to find some time ago that he was still alive. OHMSS is my favourite Bond film so this is particularly sad for me. At least he lived a good full life. His performance as Marc Ange Draco was exceptional.

    Agreed SM -{ a very natural actor, and great at the
    little bits of comedy in OHMSS.

    RIP Gabrielle Ferzetti - Draco is one of my all-time favourite Bond characters. And I also enjoy his performance as the crippled Railroad baron in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West.

    Without doubt he is in the Top 10 characters ever to appear in the series - RIP Gabriele

    Sad to hear Robert Loggia has died, he was a very talented actor.

    Sad to hear that. Funny I was just thinking about him at work earlier today. I was wondering to myself if he was still alive. He was in the Columbo episode 'Now You See Him'.

    I always enjoyed Robert Loggia's performances--great as a gangster, a cop, a PI. . .and who could forget him dancing on the giant keyboard with Tom Hanks? And farewell also to Gabriele Ferzetti. RIP, gentlemen!

    I just saw Loggia on Family Guy , dunno if it was him who did the voice , though.

    Very sad to hear about Ferzetti although I'd a feeling it was coming as I read recently he wasn't in good form :( :( :(

    RIP to two legends Gabriele Ferzetti and Robert Loggia. Gabriele will forever have an impact for his great portrayal of Draco in OHMSS. Loved Loggia in Scarface, Independence Day, the Sopranos among many other roles. Thanks to both for the great memories which will always live on.

    Nicholas Smith who played Mr Rumbold in Are You Being Served has died aged 81 - I think that's all the major cast from the series no longer with us?

    RIP Nicholas Smith, I thought AYBS fantastically funny, even watching the
    Recent repeats on BBC 2.

    That told me nothing, TP... Ah, Mr Rumbold! Last surviving member of Are You Being Served?, who'd have thought what with young whippernappers like Wendy Richard and that Mr Lucas actor. That said, the Mr Lucas replacement is still going strong of course.

    Although I'm not a fan of U2, I thought it was a great show of solidarity in their
    Paris show to play along with Eagles of death metal, after the Paris attacks. -{
