Sad to hear about Dr John. He had some excellent appearances in a TV show called Treme a few years back.

Rutger Hauer .... is now like tears in the rain.

Wikipedia says....
Starting his career in 1969 with the title role in the Dutch television series Floris. His film credits include Flesh+Blood, Blind Fury, Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Escape from Sobibor (for which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor), Nighthawks, Wedlock, Sin City, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Ladyhawke, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Osterman Weekend, The Blood of Heroes, Batman Begins, Hobo with a Shotgun, and The Rite.

As well as lots of Guinness ads ......

.....and a Kylie Manogue video (on a night like this).

Loved him in Bladerunner. Started collecting his films on VHS after that.

Peter Henry Fonda (February 23, 1940 – August 16, 2019 -- same date as Elvis!) was an American actor. He was the son of Henry, and younger brother of Jane. Peter Fonda was a part of the counterculture of the 1960s and star of classic movie, Easy Rider.

Peter Fonda was one of the bad boys of Hollywood. Both he and Denis Hopper were high most of the time during the filming of Easy Rider.

She'd been very ill for a long time.

Awww .... Rhodas dead! I loved that show. It seemed so modern.....

Probably nobody here any more but had to add pewer ould Ginger Baker at the ripe old age of 80 years old. Hard to believe, 80!

I still have and listen to the album Wheels of Fire ...... one of the greatest groups to get together IMO.

His drum solo (~15 mins I think) was something special.

Jellybaby1 · 08-10-2019 4:25pm

That music takes me back to a few record hops! I'm remembering the cool moves I had then! :rolleyes:

Just heard Florian Schneider died today, he just turned 73 a couple of weeks ago. Founding member of Kraftwerk, went to see them in the Marquee a couple of years back, every bit as good as they were in the 80's.

Ned Beatty passed away recently. Feels like he was on screen forever!

Jellybaby_1 · 12-12-2021 12:42am

And Mike Nesmith left us too. I was a big fan of the Monkees in my teens.

Jellybaby_1 · 08-01-2022 8:45pm

Sidney Poitier has departed at the great age of 94. Reminds me of that Only Fools & Horses conversation between Rodney and Granddad!!

Barry Cryer has dies aged 86.

If you've listened to radio comedy on the BBC you'll know he was a giant in the field. He was a writer for TV comedies such as the Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise. Probably his longest association was with I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, the antidote to quiz games.

Jellybaby_1 · 10-03-2022 9:45pm

And now we've lost Nurse Gladys Emmanuel. Lynda Baron passed away on 7th March, 82 yrs. She'll be chased from cloud to cloud by Arkwright in that great corner shop in the sky!!

Jellybaby_1 · 20-03-2022 5:31pm

Peter Bowles, the Irish RM, left us due to Cancer aged 85. Always debonair, and also great fun in Rising Damp!

cml387 · 21-03-2022 9:56am

I really like Peter Bowles as an actor.

He may have been debonair, and looked a bit of a cad, but I always remember parts where he played up the pathos.

He had a big part in Rumpole of the Bailey as Guthrie Featherstone and you can currently rewatch that superb series on Talking Pictures TV

Jellybaby_1 · 21-03-2022 8:27pm

We used to watch Rumpole years ago, I must chase that up on Talking Pictures TV, I'm sure we have that channel.

Jellybaby_1 · 01-08-2022 9:56pm

Names we remember from years ago, and when we heard they had passed we said either, 'Ah no, really?' or 'didn't know he/she was still alive'. Funny what comes into your mind? We've lost these among many others in recent months. I don't get depressed, it's just memories and nostalgia.

Got him mixed up with Terry Thomas in another RIP thread, I think in the TV forum - and Owen, wasn't he the actual son of the other Owen from Last of the Summer Wine?

Too soon Shirley.
