My mate spent Sunday doing a Christopher Plummer marathon of The Sound Of Music, Waterloo, and Star Trek VI. If I had a TV at the moment, I'd have watched Starcrash in tribute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Thunderplex 2,304 Posted February 10 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 10 Very sad to report that Rynagh O'Grady, who played Mary in Father Ted has passed aged 67.  Could never get enough of the scenes with her and her screen husband.  Comedy classics.

Paid Members eugenespeed 144 Posted February 10 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 10 I may be stretching the term "celebrity" here, but despite saying "who?" chances are you've seen him in something. Harry Fielder passed away on the 6th February. A career spanning from Star Wars to Hi-di-Hi. Probably the only person to stand next to both Darth Vader and Ruth Madoc! http://www.harryfielder.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chili 590 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I love CV's like that. Not like Frank Welker, who does an animal or a baby in every film ever, but those with utterly mad CV's of work because they were jobbing actors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Flynt caused enough jizz with his artistic pamphlets and films during his life. Surely he doesn't need the UKFF's own @Thunderplex to fire off a volley in death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Chest Rockwell 8,267 Posted February 12 Moderators Report Share Posted February 12 Crazy and prolific jazz composer and pianist Chick Corea has died. One of the greats and also at times completely unlistenable. Of albums released under his own name I'd say The Mad Hatter is probably my favourite. It'd be too hard to pick if I broaden it up to albums he played on as he has been on too many bonafide classics. Bitches Brew maybe? Dunno! He had a big influence on Miles's sound though and his influence on jazz as a whole is incalculable. A true pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Houchen 19,340 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Return To Forever is an essential Chick Corea album. You’re right, so many to mention! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
