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.

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.
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!
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.

A few days late...but Scott Weiland, former lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, was finally caught by the demons that had been chasing him for decades. Aged 48. Rest in peace.

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.

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

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

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. -{

Seen Motorhead back in 2011 at Sonisphere down Knebworth.
Currently listening to "The Game."
Damage case by far is my favourite tune by them.
