Horacio Sala dies.

 

Emiliano Sala's sister, Romina, in 'serious condition' in hospital - https://www.infobae.com/deportes/2021/07/06/romina-la-hermana-de-emiliano-sala-esta-internada-en-santa-fe/

 

EDIT - La Nacion newspaper reports it as a suicide attempt. A cursed family; what must the mother of Emiliano and Romina be going through?

Fucker admitted to setting a cat ablaze for fun and whilst I'm no vegan do-gooder, that's pretty despicable to most folks so the cunt isn't innocent on all counts no matter what.

His half brained cousin (not sure I remember that relationship correctly) might be - but that show didn't have much balance.

John Le Mesurier's widow Joan who was also an actress has died aged 90

She also wrote several books (including a biography of her late husband), penned a number of scripts including episodes of the great Public Eye, and as the tweet implies, was a major player in two of the big UK celeb scandals of the 1960s. Although in fairness, she was a relatively innocent party in the first one who took the (media) fall to protect another womans career. (Although most of the stories from that period just suggest John le Mesurier was far too nice to be an actor - like the time Joan attempted suicide after Tony Hancock beat her up, and then John forgave her and nursed her back to health...)

Apparently the chairman of Elstree is also the same Morris Bright who is Tory Deputy leader of Hertfordshire County Council. And he got his MBE for services to the Tories, not for his role in cinema history. 

 

Nowt to do with his or her love life, just a trivia tidbit I discovered looking for his age which felt worth sharing!
