gcreptile 10,976 Posted March 10, 2016 Double-Oscar winning production designer (Barry Lyndon & The Madness of King George) Sir Ken Adam, has did aged 95. Other works include Dr. Strangelove, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang & several Bond films. A legend. He built the "war room" of Dr, Strangelove, and all those futuristic James Bond villian-headquarters. His death should almost be as big as the one of George Martin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 29, 2016 I actually considered her ex-husband and "Addams Family" star John Astin. But not Patty. Kind of a shocker. Wasn't a fan though, I found "The Patty Duke Show" (or whatever that waste of airtime about those identical looking cousins was called) pretty crappy.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 16, 2016 Sigh... Academy Award winners of a certain age/illness: [snip] Best Supporting Actress Estelle Parsons b. 1927 [snip] Estelle Parsons, 88, pulls out of a theatre performance for health reasons and her doctor has advised her to take some time off. The drama in question has an interesting plot: The story depicts what happens when four women arrive in Paris for the funeral of a 100-year-old man who loved each of them — sometimes simultaneously. For 24 hours, they share his apartment, delicious secrets, and a dead cat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
