    Mikis Theodorakis (1925-2021) Where is all your Sirtaki gone? Age at death: 96 Known health issues: Suffered at least three heart attacks in his 90s and had been in super-frai Cause of death: Natural causes. Alignment: A sanguinary Kashmiri warlord who was behind bombings in J&K for years. Yeah, what you'd call a good riddance. Oh, no, I'm getting confused! A communist who was a self-declared Anti-Semit. Well, not so far...

    Going to have to start checking the Instagram page of film historians Austin and Howard Mutti-Mewse more often because they seem to be in the know about everything that the media is not. I've only gone back through their posts from the last 2 months, and already I've found another 2 names whose deaths haven't been mentioned anywhere else. Firstly a big name. June Kenney (wiki). Known for her roles in b-movies around the 50s. Romantically linked with Rock Hudson (lol) and Tab Hunter (lol). The internet has her YOB as 1933. Looks like in reality she was born in 1930 and was 90 at the time of her death on June 25th 2021. Secondly, a more obscure one. Patricia Redpath (IMDb) had one title role (also her only credit it would seem) in the 1942 Western "Rodeo Rhythm". She died in Kansas City, Missouri in January 2021 at the age of 95. When time allows, I'll go through their older posts to see if there's any other notable mentions. As I said, these guys are in the know. Also broke the deaths of Patricia Marmont and Vera Fusek. Worth keeping a watchful eye on their page.

    Daffney Unger, former WCW/TNA wrestler, was live on Instagram moments ago threatening suicide. This sounds incredibly serious and tragic.
