    She suffered an accident recently, and declined after that sadly. Details below.

    One of the better Bond girls/women imo. Connery became more energised when he was opposite her. Her dunking in the piranha pool is the stuff of Bond legend.

    To my mind, Karin Dor's best moment on film wasn't anything in YOLT, but the moment she meets her end in an otherwise unexceptional Hitchcock film, Topaz:

    She was so wonderful in "Topaz" and made an excellent vampire.

    RIP The real Jonathon Quayle Higgins III - John Hillerman, you gave much pleasure and humour :#

    To our dear friend Higgins - so sorry to hear about the death of your namesake, the wonderful John Hillerman. He was such a delight on Magnum, P.I.

    With much sadness I am hearing about the passing of the wonderful John Hillerman :( :( :(

    Without Higgins, Magnum PI would not be my favorite TV series!

    I've not seen many episodes of Magnum PI sadly (only really the one set at a circus and starring Clive Revill in fact), but I immediately thought of you, good sir, when I heard the sad news. As our very own Higgins his memory will certainly live on here on AJB. -{

    Sad to hear, John Hillerman was an important part of " Magnum's" success. He was
    a skilled light comedian.

    Hillerman once said that Higgins' success was that "he is firmly convinced that he is the only sensible person, while everyone else is insane."

    That's how I feel very often on AJB ;)

    Mr. Hillerman may be gone - Higgins stays!

    I'd agree up to a point - apart from your views on my favourite Bond, Timothy Dalton. Now, they are certainly insane! :p :D

    Still, it's good to know Higgins will be sticking around on AJB. B-)

    At the very least you'll get to keep his legacy alive, Higgins.
    He was great in PI even if I haven't seen much of the show, summer can't come soon enough.
    a reasonable rate of return

    Sad news about Rodney Bewes - The Likely Lads series are one of my most favourite programmes.

    As Bob himself was wont to exclaim in the show: 'It's so unfair! It's so unfair!'

    Those shows are both of their time and trancend their time, like a lot of the Dick Clement/Ian Le Frenais output. They hold up very well.
