Lloyd Reckord, Jamaican actor and director who worked in the UK for a while and who was the brother of dramatist Barry Reckord, 86. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/entertainment/20150711/theatre-veteran-lloyd-reckord-passes He had an uncredited role as Pinder's assistant in Thunderball. Here he is playing Kanda in Danger Man: https://youtu.be/ilz7zyb7pLw -
Seems to have been in everything: the original Batman, Kojak, CHiPS, Family Guy etc etc. According to IMDB, he was yet another student of Leonard Nimoy, like Dave Somerville who died last week. Leonard's obviously taking a class on the other side and calling all his old students back. http://www.examiner.com/article/godfather-actor-alex-rocco-has-died

Very sad something tells me we will hear about Michael Schumacher like this one day , probably in next few years. Indeed, yet Bobbi Kristina still lives I guess, who knows?

Gets his knighthood. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3165394/John-Hurt-says-doctor-incredibly-optimistic-knighted-Queen-Elizabeth-pancreatic-cancer-diagnosis.html I'd be grateful if the mods would rename the thread to Sir John Hurt, please if it's not too much trouble, before he passes. Edit: PS: Thanks.

For interest, the new President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is 90 year old Russell Nelson, replacing Boyd K Packer who died as reported above. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3164197/Former-heart-surgeon-head-Mormon-Churchs-board.html Always seems to make the Daily Mail, so probably a shoo in for a UK obit when he pops off. No sign of Monson, the head of the Church going though.

Malcolm McDowell reporting the death of Aubrey Morris yesterday at 89. https://twitter.com/McDowellMalc/status/621506633349214208 Nothing official as yet. Seems to have been in everything since I was a wee lad. Big big loss. Edit: here's his star turn in The Prisoner: https://youtu.be/DGWpELKh3TY

Oh please British press, mention Evelyn. I need her for Gray Panthers. Yes and Olaf Pooley too? Still looking for you deadsox. Pity that Olaf who worked in the early days of BBC Radio and TV just doesn't seem to be news. But it's early days.
