    The "less famous" thing has always bothered me. There really should be a single RIP thread for eveyone.

    Peter Vaughan, who has died at 93, may have been better known for TV roles, but his film resume was strong too, starting with a small role as a police officer in The 39 Steps (1959). Other credits include Straw Dogs, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Time Bandits, Brazil, The Crucible, and as a senior Nazi officer in Fatherland. He was working up till 2014, as Maester Aemon Targaryen in Game of Thrones.

    Hollywood legend Zsa Zsa Gabor has died at 99. The BBC has printed an obituary here. She's been out of the limelight for years yet I bet most of you will have heard her name, since she became known as a celebrity after appearing in 70 films. Most of the obituary is about that part of her life, including her nine (9) marriages, and her ability to see the funny side of it all. :cool:

    Om Puri, heart attack apparently, before his time. Ever watchable in such as East is East, Charlie Wilson's War, The Ghost and the Darkness. Debuted in western cinema in Gandhi I think.

    William Peter Blatty who wrote the exorcist has died at the age of 89. He also directed the most underrated horror movie of the 90s The Exorcist 3 even with that horrible ending lol really scary at times as well with a great performance from Brad Douriff at the top of his game.

    He also wrote and directed one of the most barking mad and also weirdly enjoyable films ever - The Ninth Configuration

    Sad to hear about Blatty, he was quite the legend. He was also a fairly prolific comedy writer who wrote the Pink Panther movie "A Shot in the Dark", regarded as the best Panther movie. Then to go from comedy to creating one of the definitive horror works of the last 50 years was some feat. Really want to listen to the audiobook of the Exorcist read by him.

    Agree about the Ninth Configuration, so underrated with a brilliant cast of character actors, fantastically quotable dialogue and one-liners, not to mention that amazing fight scene at the end. It was made in Communist Hungary, and the making of the film sounded even nuttier than what ended up in the film!! A real shame he didn't pursue directing more.

    For fans of Exorcist 3 I highly recommend importing the recent special edition of the movie released in the U.S., they found a lot of the fabled "missing footage" and constructed a loose Director's Cut, which was closer to Blatty's original vision which was rejected by the studio heads. It's a very different beast to the released version and has a completely alternate performance from Brad Dourif. It's fascinating to compare his performances in each version. There's also a cracking audio commentary/interview with Blatty spanning his entire career which now must be his last recorded interview.

    If you watched NCIS LA you could see him deteriorate each episode this season it was very hard to watch and quiet sad.

    RIP.
