My 'Coincidental Deaths' database has a couple actor-director pairings, the most recent of which I believe was Richard Widmark/Jules Dassin ("Night in the City") back about 5 years ago. Synchronicities like that may be working right here right now. I'll be looking for ODH's death notice before Easter, and hit #3 for DL.SirC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I still say it's too soon for her. Edit: Grauman also directed 633 Squadron. The planes involved? de Havilland Mosquitos. Coincidence? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
