Legendary British actress Jean Simmons had died aged 80. A little bit of a shock as she made a film last year; and there had been no reports of her ill health. A very good actress in her day!

Hear, hear.

Chi-lites singer Robert Lester has died, aged 67.

 

The remaining members of the group should wear those suits to his funeral!. On that subject, Wikipedia reliably (?) informs us that Marshall Thompson is now the only original member still alive, Eugne Record having died in 2005, Creadel "Red" Jones (vaguely) a few years after leaving the group for the second time in 1990. No definitive info on the other original Clarence Johnson, who left the group way back in 1964.

Done a search of the forum and don't think think this was picked up - apologies if I'm duplicating! Illustrator John Berry died back in December. He did the artwork on many of the Ladybird series of books which many of us will remember from our childhood. Previously an established war artist and portrait painter, he also designed Esso's "Tiger in your tank" image (see below) and contributed artwork for many other publishers (Corgi, Four Square, Panther, Penguin and Readers Digest).

Perhaps his best known film was '10 Rillington Place', but he also produced 'Blind Terror', starring Mia Farrow, which I remember scared the sh!t out of me when I was a kid.
