He was 52 in 1968 and that I suspect would have looked very old to you at the time ;)Quote:

Jesus thats a bit of a shock. Thought he was great as Heywood Floyd in 2010, as well as his more readily recognizable role's above, Blue thunder was one of my favorite films as a nipper
I loved JAWS. Must have watched it 20+ times many years ago. A classic. "Smile you son of a bit*h!"Quote:

Sad to hear that. Incidently I prefered the "We're gonna need a bigger boat" line.:cool:
RIP Roy
Not a Jaws fan but I thought he was great in the French Connection, pity he was playing second fiddle to Popeye in that one.
Paul Goldin, hypnotist. I suppose spending your life saying "go to sleep...." must eventually come back to haunt you.
Lost in the Heath Ledger media Frenzy;
Newcastle Curry Mentallist and Viz Comic icon Abdul Latif, Lord Of Harpole passed away at the end of January.
A gifted self-promoter, the Bangladeshi headbanger frequently appeared in the pages of Viz magazine, hawking his "curry Hell" dish from his Restaurant, The Rupali, allegedly the Hottest curry known to man. (Or Geordie men anyway) in exchange for free nosh for the Viz editors.
He will also be remembered for achieving the world record for longest distance fast food delivery (Newcastle to Sydney) and for publicly offering free curries for life to ex Toon Manager Graeme Souness, his favourite player Shay Given, and Geordie entertainer Jimmy Nail, on condition that he signed a sworn statement that he would not make anymore episodes of Toon based "crime" "drama" 'Crocodile Shoes'.
Genius.
RIP Dermot Morgan died 10 years ago today (just about:))
RIP Mike Smith, lead singer of 60's band Dave Clark Five, died aged just 64......"Bits and Pieces" and "Glad all over" two of their biggest hits.
Jeff Healy - blind guitarist
Paul Raymond - porn baron (his son of the same name plays keyboards for rock band UFO- thats how i know about him honest)*

I own a few porno mags but I would do well to buy a house never mind an estate.

Gary Gygax, best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D).
I spent a lot of my teenage years and twenties playing that game with a group of similar nerds.
Derek Dooley, Sheffield Wednesday legend. He's the reason I follow the Owls. It was in the paper about him losing his leg and my oldest brother started to follow them. He then passed on that heavy burden to me.
