    Niki Lauda has died yesterday.

    The greatest comebacker of all times and an incredible fighter and bright man!

    RIP

    Daniel Brühl said about their first contact:

    Lauda called him shortly after 6:00 in the morning.
    He said “we must meet, but bring only handluggage because, if I don‘t like you, you can immediately piss off“.

    To this day, Niki Lauda is my all-time favorite motor sportsman. Very sad.

    Saddened to learn of the death of Paul Darrow, he played
    Avon in Blake's seven, as well as many other roles.

    This year has been very hard on those who made me laugh as a kid in the 1970s: Tim Conway, Arte Johnson, and now Mad magazine. Then again, this is such a serious, navel-gazing age that I don't think the comedy they represent could survive now.

    Rip Torn 88 RIP. A great character actor, Alexander The Great in One Spy Too Many and the villain in the Columbo episode Death Hits The Jackpot.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Rip Torn 88 RIP. A great character actor, Alexander The Great in One Spy Too Many and the villain in the Columbo episode Death Hits The Jackpot.

    Sad to hear of the death of Rip Torn. I agree that he was great as the guest star in Columbo: Death Hits the Jackpot (1991).

    RIP Rip Torn, Such a great talent, I've recently been enjoying him in a few old
    episodes of Will and Grace.
    RIP Freddie Jones, another great acting talent and a very long career.

    One of the horrible things is, how many other mass killings that have
    taken place since and which sadly will continue

    Sad news about David Hedison. He was great as Felix Leiter in both his appearances in LALD and LTK. At least he had a good innings, living to 92.

    RIP to David Hedison, I am glad that before he passed away he was able to write the forward to the reissued version Roger Moore's 007 Diaries.
  • HardyboyHardyboy Posts: 5,881Chief of Staff
    David Hedison lived a long time and he always managed to look great, no matter his age. And I will always associate him not with Felix Leiter, but with those immortal lines "Help me. . .help me!" RIP.

    Still bummed out about the death of English YouTuber Emily Hart, who was killed last week while riding an electric scooter. I watched her funny '10 Reasons Why' clips some years ago, saw a few of them, they stayed with me. It does feel more personal when you see someone on YouTube rather than just on TV or something.

    Rutger Hauer has died at 75. A great, versatile actor, and someone I always hoped would play a Bond villain. RIP.

    Very sad to hear about Rutger Hauer's passing, I have been an admirer of his work for years from Blade Runner to Escape From Sobibor and beyond. @Hardyboy I agree, he would have made a great Bond villain especially in the 1980's when his star was on the rise in the Western world.

    It seems he was offered the role of a Bond villain in the 1980s.

    From @jamesbondlive on Twitter:

    RIP Rutger Hauer. An iconic actor who will forever be remembered for his role as Roy Batty in Blade Runner. In 1984, he was offered the part of Max Zorin in A VIEW TO A KILL but turned it down. He wanted to play 007 instead.

    RIP Rutger, a lovely man I’m so privileged to have met 3 years ago. Ironically he passed in the year that Blade Runner was set, as did his greatest role Roy Batty...

    I just saw that Peter Fonda has died at the age of 79. He was never the actor his father (Henry) was and he was never as acclaimed as his sister (Jane), but he gave us Easy Rider--and that's quite the accomplishment right there.
