Found out a couple of odd ones today. Last week Chopper Read died aged 58. He was an Aussie hardman crim, wrote books and I think the biopic about him was called, Chopper. Saw an interview with him in 2007 (I think) on BBC and still don't know whether he was scary or just an idiot.
I think many people saw that Erich Priebke, the Nazi war criminal, did aged 100. He was part of the 10 for 1 massacre in Italy at Fosse Ardeatine and lived for 50years in Argentina. If anyone has seen "The Masacre in Rome" they'll realise just how shocking the event was. 5 of the more than 300 who died were part of the underground network being run by Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty.

Hiroo Onoda
Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who hid in the jungle in the Philippines for three decades, refusing to believe World War II was over until his former commander returned and persuaded him to surrender, has died in Tokyo aged 91.
Hiroo Onoda waged a guerilla campaign in Lubang Island near Luzon until he was finally persuaded in 1974 that peace had broken out. He is rumoured to have killed 30 people during that time and was treated as a hero when he returned to Japan while he should have been sent to prison for murder.

Pete Seeger.
Active right up to his 90th year. It could have been a different story though. At the Newport folk festival in the mid 1960's when Bob Dylan brought on The Band in the 2nd half of his show, he reportedly was on his way backstage in a furious state, with an axe to cut the cable. He was held back just in time, dropped the axe and lived another 50 years.

Yeah. There's a bang of Dermot Morgan off it.
He, genuinely as myself and yourself have, over the years discussed, is potentially the greatest actor I've ever had the pleasure to watch.
I'm just in from watching the Super Bowl. I'm 5 minutes into Capote. He was the greatest. Hands down.

One of my favourite actors of all time. Up there with the greats of our generation. Very sad news. Only watched his latest work the other day in the Hunger Games Catching Fire. Absolutely wonderful actor. Just shows the crippling mental hold addiction has on people.

The way people are talking about him, someone should double check PSH is actually dead, and not just acting really convincingly.

A couple not covered:
Tony Hateley, one of the leading Liverpool players during the late 1960s. Trouble is he was a big bustling centre-forward which encouraged the "hump it up to him" philosophy which wasn't the Liverpool way and he was eventually sold to Coventry. There's an apocryphal story that he was knocked out and the physio said to Shankly "he doesn't know who he is" to which Shankly replied "telll him he's Pele".
Actor Maximillian Schell who appeared in many films as a German soldier, including a Bridge too Far, which is ironic since his family had to flee the Nazis.

Hey Bonnie, I started working on a piece but I've had a crazy week at work and just couldn't find the time but I'd like to finish it if that's okay? Am working on The Talented Mr. Ripley as it first really opened my eyes to his ability. He stole the show.
Love the tribute.

You should have just said "oops wrong pic" mate - your backtracking is a bit weird.

Also, no-one was "biting" - we were confirming who exactly had died. You know, being respectful and all.
I assumed it was this Maicon when I read the post, and felt it was kind of fair to correct that -
