6 years ago,  Mirror journo Sue Carroll died aged 58.

 

I shall never forget this, you see, as I had lined her up to be the joker for my first Pan Breed DDP team. I was just checking the BBC news at a family Christmas meal and saw news of her demise, and swore loudly. Had to pass it off as having whacked my foot against the table by accident!

 

And of course, my first sub was Luise Rainer, who didn't die. To compound things, my 2nd sub was Rhodes Boyson, who DID die in 2012.

The last confirmed sighted of the huia was 110 years ago today. Sadly despite surviving into the early part of the 20th century they were never photographed in life.

101 years ago, Grigori Rasputin, "Russia's Greatest Love Machine", drank poison, was shot, beaten, and thrown in a river. He later died of hypothermia.

Coincidentally enough, the person who sang that song about him (Bobby Farrell) died on the same day in 2010.

Edward Hermann died on this day 3 years ago, starting the trend of M*A*S*H actors dying on New Year's Eve. (he was a memorable guest star in an episode)
