Thank you, Not a lot of very big names it seems, but elderly nontheless. Anderson, Holliman and Drury would be the most likely to get UK obits because of their familiarity to UK audiences via their TV work (Six-Million Dollar Man, Police Woman and The Virginian respectively).

JR976evil 906 Posted January 22, 2011 Bit surprised no one appears to have mentioned Clifton James (b. 1921), best known for playing redneck sheriff J.W. Pepper in the 2 James Bond films Live & Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun, also appeared in films like Cool Hand Luke, Superman 2 and Silver Streak, as well as episodes of The A-Team and the Dukes Of Hazzard, playing pretty much the same character, more or less made a career out of playing redneck Southeners, even though he is actually from New York. Had serious roles too in the likes of The Untouchables, Eight Men Out and Lone Star, was a WW2 veteran too, quite likely to get a few press obits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted February 16, 2011 79 year old Margaret Tyzack has joined Eastenders' cast. Old enough to have appeared in a leading role in the original Forsythe Saga on BBC 1, and well-enough stacked with theatrical plaudits to be obit-worthy. Obviously, she's healthy enough to be insurable...for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
