Banshees Scream 110 Posted February 28, 2007 Just had an e-mail to say the Bruce Bennett(Tarzan actor) has died. It's a miss. I would have takin him over Borgnine. What is another centurian. But at the same time he couldn't have been that famous. He was a mediocre actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted February 28, 2007 Lord Forte, of Travelodge fame, has checked out at the age of 98 Oh, raging bollocks. Ditto my comment about Bennett, DDP & the age rules. Ah well, mid-table obscurity beckons. Grrrrrr Forte was one of my suggestions. I was thinking of putting him on the list next year if he was still alive. Had the priviledge of meeting Forte when he was a young 79 yr old and I was just a waiter at The Kensington Close Hotel (now the Kensington Post House). He was one of the nicest people you could possibly meet. He worked hard to get where he was, even though his dad lent him some money to set up his first milk bar. It's a shame his son Rocco didn't have the same head for business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember him - he played for Portugal in the 1986 World Cup against England. That's both their goalkeeper's dead now. I know I've only just turned 29, but deaths like this make me feel old. That's three of the Portuguese players from the 1986 squad dead already. So much for the Mediterrean diet & lifestyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a pity the death threshold doesn't move twenty years and focus on a certain twinkle-toe'd winger!

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted March 2, 2007 Good Point, Dave, but lest we forget, Mr. Dunn, who may have been mentioned in dispatches on these very pages is (possibly) proving immortal on this very diet / lifestyle.
