    Definitely had a bit of a crush on her in Batteries Not Included when I was very young. If I ever discover I've some kind of fetish for pregnant women, I'll put it down to that.

    I don't know whether director Mike Nichols can be classed as "less famous": he died today at the age of 83. He might not be a household name but he was nominated for multiple Oscars for films such as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf[/I,] The Remains of the Day, Silkwood, Working Girl, and won for The Graduate.

    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’.

    Nichols didn't direct Remains of the Day - that was James Ivory of course. While he sounds like an American his real name was Mikhail Igor Peschkowsky and was German born of Russian Jewish heritage. Of course back in the 50s when he started working in the industry such names were risky.

    That's what I get for rushing a post on the way out the door to work ... he also made quite a few adaptations of books, including Catch-22, Postcards from the Edge (the Carrie Fisher autobiography), Primary Colors and Charlie Wilson's War.

    Joseph Sargent has died at 89: he made a lot of TV, receiving an Emmy for Kojak, but to film buffs he's best known as the director of White Lightning (Burt Reynolds versus moonshiners) and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, which was remade a few years ago.

    Note that he also made Jaws: The Revenge and Goldengirl, so ... hardly a spotless record, then! :o

    True. But even the Mona Lisa is falling apart. :P

    One of the best films of the 70s, and Sargent also directed Colossus: The Forbin Project, the prototypical (and one of the best) 'computer AI takes over the world' movie.

    Christine Cavanaugh, voice of Babe, Dexter from Dexter's Labrotory, Chuckie from Rugrats, has died at age 51.

    Well, there's goes another one from my childhood this year. Loved watching Dexter's Lab growing up.
