    Report of the death of Jeremy Child, hugely popular character actor and Baronet (aye, an actual aristo): Impossible to sum up what he was in - for me significant roles in Father Dear Father, Fairly Secret Army, First Among Equals, Eastenders and Judge John Deed. On film, Quadrophenia, Give My Regards To Broad Street and The Iron Lady. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0157461/ RIP.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    I've seen the post on FB via somewhere else and now reported by Soap Hub (yeah, who?), so looks generally accepted and we'll see US obits in due course. Depending on space, should be UK ones as well.
