The Old Crem 3,628 Posted July 9, 2022 With the news he has been diagnosed with dementia and has been suffering for several years I feel a thread for him is deserved due to his status being high enough that making the main list would be a foreseeable decision. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hemlock 748 Posted July 10, 2022 I always wondered why he and not Zero Mostel, played Tevye in the movie version of Fiddler On The Roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it was because Mostel was seen as too large a personality to work in a film version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,844 Posted March 9, 2023 Sky News running it as a leading story. Not on the main section of the BBC News app at all. You have to specifically tap into the Entertainment section to find the story. One of the biggest actors of his generation and deserving of a breaking news notification in my opinion. Accidental snub or yet more anti-Israeli rhetoric from the Beeb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,628 Posted March 9, 2023 The BBC has hardly any staff overnight anymore. Sky didn’t give it a breaking news alert either - probably due to it being overnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
