A truly great actor. And the best thing in Never Say Never Again. If only he could have played Blofeld in a real Bond film.

I'll always remember Sydow as the cool killer in Three Days of the Condor, though I have seen him in many other roles. i once tried to watch him in Steppenwolf; but, that was so depressing I just had to turn it off. He's his usual great; but, a story of loneliness and isolation in the modern world makes for heavy viewing.

If memory serves, Bellman had been making the rounds of conventions in more recent years, as one of the last links to the Golden Age.

Another favorite actor of my youth has passed. Stuart Whitman, age 92. Been suffering from a form of skin cancer for awhile that finally made its way into his bloodstream. A rugged cowboy favorite and 70's/80's action/adventure movie star who continued for many years on television as a lead and guest star. Memorable roles in Cimarron Strip TV western, movies: Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, Rio Conchos, Night of the Lepus, The Mark, City Beneath the Sea, the Comanchero's and Superboy' father on television.
And on the same day another favorite, Lyle Waggoner age 84 passed of Carol Burnett fame and he was Steve Trevor on Wonder Woman.
Bummer of a day and both will be missed and remembered every time I watch them on DVD!!! Rest in Peace gentlemen...

And on the same day another favorite, Lyle Waggoner age 84 passed of Carol Burnett fame and he was Steve Trevor on Wonder Woman. And Waggoner screen-tested for the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in the 1966 TV series. This is used to hilarious effect in the 2003 telemovie Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt, where Waggoner is the narrator {Spoiler: Click to show} (and mystery villain) .

And with Tim Conway's passing just last year, suddenly Carol and Vicki are the only ones left.

They made the right call with Adam West (I've seen the screen tests and West is livelier); but, Lyle would have been a great Batman. As it was, he was a great Steve Trevor, with only Patrick Duffy, voicing the chaarcter on Justice League, coming close (Pine's okay).
Always loved him as the handsome man on The Carol Burnett Show. He was great as the magic mirror, in this Snow White, the Later Years sketch...

Stuart Whitman was also great in the last of the Oakmont Productions actioners, from the late 60s, The Last Escape...

Oh, no! I just dropped in to see what condition the RIP thread was in, and I see this. Rogers was incredibly popular here in Georgia and shot his movie Six Pack in the greater Atlanta area. He'll be missed.

Guess it was time to fold 'em.
This is the thing that I miss about music on the radio and elsewhere prior to the 80s and 90s and beyond. Radio stations used to program their own music and you used to get greater mixes of genres. I grew up with rock, pop, soul, funk, country and a few others on the same radio station (plus commodities reports! and Ellery Queen's Minute Mystery). Many of Kenny Rogers' songs (and olly's, and others, like crystal Gayle, Charlie Pride, Don McLean, Conway Twitty, etc) used to crossover onto pop charts and pop/rock stations. Of course, that's back when those genres had good music too (dang kids and their drum machines and samples and computer noise....)

Albert Uderzo, co-creator of Astérix, has passed away at the age of 92.
While he was of course best known for his famous little Gaul, Uderzo had also created several more series in which his great storytelling skills and his sense of humour were put to good use. He was furthermore remarkably polyvalent, as shown in more “serious” adventure series like Tanguy & Laverdure, about two French air force pilots. Uderzo’s attention to technical detail was amazing, and his sense of fun was as strong in an adventure strip as it was in a humour series.
He was truly a giant, and the mark he left in the comic-book world will be one for the ages.
