SC http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/billy-chapin-dead-night-hunter-child-actor-was-72-952506 Then you are missing out. Night of the Hunter is one of the all time great films, and Robert Mitchum's finest role, as a serial killer chasing the children of an executed man to find his hidden loot. The kid - Chapin - is so annoying in it, you can't help but root for Mitchum, but it is a wonderful piece of cinema. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,477 Posted December 4, 2016 Even if you've never seen Night of the Hunter (a legit 10/10 imho), you're at least familiar with one of its tropes, which has been used pretty much everywhere since in the past 60 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen that movie. Rev. Harry Powell was a nasty character and I think he could be considered the archetype for Max Cady of Cape Fear. Mitchum was a natural born villain.

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted December 5, 2016 Just like the REAL Indians' owner, she lost big in 2016! Margaret Whitton, the actress perhaps best known for portraying Rachel Phelps, the Las Vegas showgirl turned owner of the Cleveland Indians, in the two Major League movies, has died. She was 67.

I'm if the belief if they have the funds they can get proper breathing apparatuses and continue on a while (see Brigance and Gleason), but if they're just an author or summat who depends on fading royalties or constant work, they're a good get.
