Vincent Price died on this day 30 years ago, aged 82. - Price moved from the US to the UK in 1934 to seek a degree in fine arts from Courtauld, and made his professional acting debut in a 1935 version of Chicago. - Among his early movie roles include Joseph Smith in Brigham Young, Vital Dutour in The Song of Bernadette, and most notably the Duke of Clarence in Tower of London, which was his first horror movie role. Outside of horror roles, he was also known to appear in movies such as The Saint and The Ten Commandments (the latter of which, he portrayed the overseer Moses kills). - In the 1960s, Price would team up with (the still living) Roger Corman for many B-movie horror films, particularly adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. - On television, Price is known for being a regular panelist on Hollywood Squares and making guest appearances on episodes of The Brady Bunch and The Muppet Show: On the topic of puppets, Price was lampooned in Spitting Image, where he would try (and fail) to lure people into ghastly traps. - Price also did voice work, with some of his most memorable roles being the narrator of Tim Burton's Vincent (whom he would work with again in Edward Scissorhands), Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, and Zigzag the Grand Vizier in The Thief and the Cobbler; the latter film was known for its development hell- he recorded his lines for in the 1960s, and it was released mere months before he died. - Price did the spoken verse in Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and provided this now iconic laugh: - Outside of acting, Price was an avid chef, and published several cookbooks and audio tapes. - In his later years, Price was diagnosed with COPD and Parkinson's disease, but it was ultimately lung cancer that doomed him.

Looks ok, might have one or two years more in her

Bill Kenwright (4 September 1945 – 23 October 2023) in Carry On Matron . His football /theater/Corrie creds have been mentioned in other threads.

They say this cat Shaft is a dead mother- Shut your mouth! But I'm talkin' about Shaft's grave! We can dig it! RIP.

It was Lord Murray Elder. But I didn’t tell you that

Just listened to Hackney Diamonds, the first all-new Rolling Stones album in nearly two decades. First three songs were 12 minutes of meh, but Bite My Head Off slaps and the album finds its mojo from then on. It finishes with a flourish, and by flourish I mean some unexpected Gaga and then a bluesy denouement. Overall, thumbs up from me!

Of Who ?

I don't think you will be allowed in. Ask @Lafaucheuse.

England getting ready for the Rugby World Cup Final

I did think he looked a bit frail when I saw a picture a few months ago so definitely one to keep an eye on. However if he has kept this quiet for 5 years, I don’t expect we will be getting much information about his condition going forward.

Fashion great Marc Bohan, who served for three decades as head designer of the esteemed Dior label, died at 97 years: https://www.lemonde.fr/disparitions/article/2023/09/08/marc-bohan-ancien-directeur-artistique-de-dior-est-mort_6188410_3382.html His elegant dresses were worn by the likes of Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy.

In 1949, Sonny Rollins was one of the five musicians who took part in a Bud Powell recording session for Blue Note, which later appeared on the first side of the album The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1. Rollins is not the only musician from that session still alive, as drummer Roy Haynes is also still with us. The trumpeter on that session, Fats Navarro, died back in 1950.

Merle Streep and he were dating at the time. Dustin Hoffman would bully her on the set of Kramer vrs Kramer about the death of her Dear friend. Dustin Hoffman is a jerk-arsh.

Your Grade: A- Which is proof that my school days weren't all entirely wasted.
