Willie Garson, who played Stanford Blatch in the Sex And The City series and films dead from cancer aged 57: https://www.tmz.com/2021/09/21/sex-and-the-city-willie-garson-stanford-blatch-dead-dies/ Been in loads of stuff otherwise. Of most interest to me personally was his turn as Lee Harvey Oswald in a memorable episode of Quantum Leap. He was in Star Trek: Voyager as well, making him a further miss for the Scavenger Hunt.

The worst performance on this graph is two hits from this point so 11-15 is the hit range based on existing data Last year the next hit was day 304 which this year falls on Halloween

Harry Melling, Britain's last surviving WWII submariner, has died aged 101.

When Roy last showed up on TV just before lockdown, he was an old frail man shaking with what seemed to be heavy Parkinsons and barely able to speak. I didn't recognise him until I heard his (now very weak) voice. Would be a good DL addition in my book, given he was in good health just over 2 years ago, so this decline has been rapid.

You know how Willie Garson was in the reboot of Hawaii Five-O? Well. Al Harrington, Detective Ben Kokua in the original series and Mamo Kahike in the reboot, also dead yesterday aged 85: https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/09/21/hawaii-news/legendary-hawaii-entertainer-al-harrington-dies-at-age-85/ When The Jeffersons went to Hawaii, there he was, also Jake And The Fatman and Scrubs as credits.

Saw on a bookshelf in a gift shop a book by Roy Hattersley on The Cavendish Family. His book on the years between the wars was very good so I was quite interested but £16.99 for a paperback is a bit steep especially on my budget. However it did get me thinking that dear old Roy must be worthy of consideration for 2022 as noone has ever looked at him and said "I wonder how he manages to look so healthy" I expected Shirley Williams to out live him so howabout a politically balanced double act for 2022 of Hurd & Hattersley

Heard it earlier for the first time in yonks and it never left my head.

Julz Sale, founder and vocalist with Delta 5, reportedly dead: https://louderthanwar.com/julz-sale-delta-5-founder-rip/ Edit: Apparently died in Thailand, where she was a teacher of English, of cancer. Part of the Rock Against Racism movement in the 80s, they weren't particularly commercially successful at the time, though John Peel did have a session with them (no, not that way). However, you will probably have heard their single Mind Your Own Business on an iPhone advert:
