Demented Glaswegian 1 Posted July 25, 2009 WWE star Damien Steele died in his sleep Wednesday. He complained earlier of feeling unwell.... another long autopsy in sight? Bit unfair calling him a star. He was a guy they took on, and made one jobbing appearance on a show. It'd be like calling that prelimanary MMA guy who died last year, who appeared in one show, a top UFC star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 25, 2009 Prolific Northern Irish actor Harry Towb has died aged 83. Equally at home on stage and screen, he was recently seen in "Eastenders" as Janine Butcher's elderly fiancé. His widow is Diana Hoddinott, best known for her role as Jim Hacker's wife in "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". One of those familiar faces difficult to put a name to, I see he also made appearances in "Doctor Who" in 1969 and 1971. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of those familiar faces difficult to put a name to, I see he also made appearances in "Doctor Who" in 1969 and 1971. I must be putting the kiss of death on people. I was thinking about him a couple of days ago. He played the 'English' tourist in a Scottish advert for beer (Youngers Tartan ale?) in the 70s. Other kiss of death was Harry Patch, thought of him this morning, then read in the afternoon he'd died. How much will you give me to think of Maggie Thatcher?
