Very sad loss. RIP. I remember watching Dick Tracy as a youngster and thinking how she was waaaay more sexy than Madonna who also had a major role in the film. UPDATE: Obits are saying that it was very sudden and she was in the middle of filming a series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted June 9, 2017 FWIW, here is a UK obit for Glenne Headly: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/glenne-headly-dead-dick-tracy-the-circle-emma-watson-future-dies-died-67-tributes-a7782451.html Still no cause of death given. Obviously it was the excitement of the UK election that did her in. Sad that her sudden, shock death won't receive one tenth of the coverage that Carrie Fisher's did, even though she was a much better actress and, by all accounts, a much nicer person. Just luck of the draw that Star Wars was a big hit and Dick Tracy wasn't as big a success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted June 30, 2017 I have just been reading about William Daniels. Not exactly a household name but... 1. He had a role in The Graduate as Dustin Hoffman's dad 2. He was the voice of KITT in Knight Rider 3. He is the former president of the Screen Actors' Guild 4. He is aged 90. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Daniels 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
