He was born in Dublin and actually in real life fought during the WW2 and also appeared in the movie THE LONGEST DAY (one of my favourites):

Dan O'Bannon screenwriter got on the bandwagon of the Alien series. Even credited with Predator v. Alien in 1993 and again ten years later. He is also credited with genre-breaking work... like The Return of the Living Dead(1985) four years after Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981).

God Rest him in Peace.

[always embarassing having a side-note on a memorial but I can't find the 'so long..' thread.]

She was supposed to be anorexic, and did look very skinny recently:

Those credits are for characters only, Harpo. He had no involvement with the films - like how Bob Kane has a writing credit on The Dark Knight even though he died ten years before it came out.
