    British Character Actors

    Here we are. All the notable deaths not covered on here before now featured in the latest Equity magazine. Equity Magazine Autumn/Winter 2023 – In Memoriam with Wiki pages: Bruce Beeby (wiki, 1921–2013) Aussie actor who appeared in British film and television – yes he died over a decade ago, and I don't know why Equity didn't spot it until now, but we never mentioned him on here at the time either! Best known for appearing in the radio serial "Journey into Space", last notable credit was in the 1970 film "Wuthering Heights". Bruce Bould (wiki, 1949–2023) English actor who appeared as David in "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin". Other credits include "Z-Cars", "The Good Life" and "The New Avengers". Jacqueline Dark (wiki, 1968–2023) mezzo-soprano with Opera Australia Shirley Gee (wiki, 1932–2016) English playwright, widower of actor Donald Gee (listed above). I guess her death has come to light because her husband's death was reported last year. Julia Goss (wiki, 1946–2023) soprano and occasional actress from Lanarkshire, Scotland Doktor Haze (wiki, 1956–2023) circus owner and performer, ringmaster at The Circus of Horrors, he was also an independent candidate in Brighton Kemptown, appeared on Britain's Got Talent and even held several Guinness World Records Other worthwhile mentions: Jane Briers (IMDb, 1939–2020) actress, sister of Richard Briers, known for playing Rose in "Close to Home" (no, me neither) Jon Ellison (IMDb, 1930–2023) baritone and actor. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company has a profile for him here. Ruth Goring (IMDb, 1927–2023) actress, appeared in "Yentl", widower of the more famous actor Lee Montague (born 1927), spotted in the GRO by @Master Obit and reported on here by @Gisooo but we couldn't confirm if this was actually her death listing until now Murray Hayne (IMDb, 1931–2023) actor, minor roles in "The Avengers" and "Dixon of Dock Green" Patricia Heneghan (IMDb, 1934–2023) actress, notably the librarian and short-term girlfriend for Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in 1961 Alfred Hoffman (IMDb, 1924–20??) actor, previously mentioned by @Gisooo on the forum. Him and his wife Leila Hoffman (born 1934, also an actress and still living) were featured in The Express in 2017 as Britain's "oldest working couple". @Master Obit, any matches in the GRO to find out when he died? His last credit on IMDb was in 2021. There is a probate for an Alfred Hoffman in 2021. Is this him? Roz McCutcheon (IMDb, 1947–2023) heavy Irish bit part actress and genealogist Sheena Penson (IMDb, c. 1948–2023) Scottish actress, appeared in 2 episodes of "Taggart" and 3 episodes of "Still Game" as Sandra Christopher Reich (IMDb, 1945–20??) actor, played David Samuels in EastEnders for 54 episodes in the 1980s, and as Number 5 in "Never Say Never Again" Jane Jordan Rogers (IMDb, 1931–20??) American-born actress, widow of the more famous actor Bernard Horsfall (1930–2013). Pictured above with actor Jeremy Child (1944–2022). Lilias Walker (IMDb, 1930–2023), actress, appeared in "Doctor Who", married to more famous actor Peter Vaughan (1923–2016) and then Peter Burton (1921–1989). Flagged as living by @msc before but as far as I can see her death was never been mentioned on DL before now.
  3. You're an enigma, Paul. 4 votes for Britney yesterday, still in just as much danger today but instead no votes for her and 2 for Jeff Buckley who has been safe since around day 3 of this round!

    I know they can, but it's extremely unlikely based on what we've heard so far.

    Richard Dawkins still going on a worldwide tour but he's 83 and had a stroke a few years ago. Out of the big four, there will only be Sam Harris left soon and he's the youngest by some margin.

    The Ukraine Crisis

    Apparently decapitated by his own? Good move. The Donetsk militias have enough food supply for a week from his carcass.

    1970s sitcom writer Bob Ellison has apparently died at 91, says fellow writer Ken Levine on his podcast. Ellison won two Emmys, including one for co-writing the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1977. He also wrote for that series’s spin-offs Rhoda and Phyllis. https://art19.com/shows/hollywood-and-levine/episodes/d03a4f7b-a027-4c14-9539-d1f9ddf99f13 https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0255162/

    Also, it is risky for a Muslim to call himself "gay" !

    The Ukraine Crisis

    And in Texas that must be as risky as calling yourself a 'gay Muslim nonbinary tree-hugging undocumented immigrant abortionist'.

  15. Sod's Law

    King Charles III

    I made my assumption based on my limited experience of two people I've known who needed chemo (one for breast cancer and the other throat cancer) and they both lost their hair but I know cancer encompasses a huge range of diseases and everyone's experience with the disease and the treatment is different. I'm guessing breast cancer is unlikely to be the type the King's being treated for though...

    British Character Actors

    Finally managed to get ahold of a copy of the Autumn/Winter 2023 issue or Equity magazine. There are quite a few off radar deaths to cover this time. I'll post about them within the next hour. Firstly, here are all the names we've already covered on DeathList up until now. The embarrassing inclusion of Rolf Harris and Barry Bethell makes me wonder if this is why the issue has not been uploaded online to either the Equity website or their issuu page?

    Many thanks! I'm just waiting now for @YoungWillz to admonish me for dropping Daniel Dennett from the DDP and potentially making him a member of the list of the lost!
