    Aretha Franklin has died; not a movie star as such, but her music has featured in hundreds of movies, and she starred in the iconic diner scene in the original Blues Brothers. I watched that scene again, and could see what people meant when they said she was really bad at lip-syncing: she wanted to sing the song a little differently every time. :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I saw Lindsay Kemp died a couple of days ago: he did some straight acting on stage and in movies such as The Wicker Man (as the pub landlord), but was better known as a dancer and choreographer in films such as Jubilee and Velvet Goldmine. I knew his name as dance teacher to the stars e.g. he taught David Bowie, Kate Bush and others, appearing in her short film The Line, the Cross & the Curve.

    I wouldn't class Reynolds as someone less famous in films, quite the opposite.

    Carry on Screaming was probably peak Carry On. It had one of the great gags of the series "Do you mind if I smoke?"

    I loved it when Urwin was going to "end it all" by chargeing into a plate glass door.
    Except the door was automatic and he ran into a policeman on the other side.

    Audrey Wells, screenwriter has died at age 58.
    Audrey Wells, screenwriter for the racial drama The Hate U Give, has died at age 58. Wells passed yesterday after a long and private battle with cancer. The film opens nationwide on Oct. 19....

    A prolific and highly respected writer and director, Wells was a lifelong feminist whose creative voice frequently focused on strong female characters. That creative influence guided the roles in films she wrote and directed, including Under the Tuscan Sun and Guinevere, to the movies she wrote, including The Hate U Give and Shall We Dance, The Kid, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, and the animated movie Over the Moon, currently in production.
