Josephus 2 Posted November 4, 2020 Not sure whether this should go in the rabbis thread, but Claude Giraud who co-starred with Louis de Funes in The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob is dead. He was also a prolific French voice for among others, Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Sean Connery in Name of The Rose, Roger Moore in Bullseye, Robert Redford in The Great Gatsby and Alan Rickman in Harry Potter and the innumerable sequels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted November 9, 2020 I think it’s worth mentioning that last September, the legendary French actor François Lalande died aged 89. He appeared in Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo, The Gang and The Visitors. https://www.lefigaro.fr/theatre/mort-du-chansonnier-et-comedien-francois-lalande-a-89-ans-20200907 I had been looking for his date of birth for a long time but it was only revealed publicly after his death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,754 Posted November 10, 2020 Sven Wollter dead at 86 from COVID. Decided to put this on this thread instead of the covid casualties as he was a very known actor and one of the four alive main actors in the Beck movie Man on the Roof (1976) known to very many in the nordic countries. Haven't watched it myself but I've seen other later Martin Beck movies. He was Lennart Kollberg. Now there are three: Thomas Hellberg (b. 1941) as Gunvald Ingvar Hirdwall (b. 1934) as the Man on the Roof. Harald Hamrell (b. 1960) as Stig Nyman's son Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"If the sickness of homosexuality spreads itself, everyone can become infected". And he did get infected, by an actual virus, and it killed him. Lolz. Speaking of old bigoted Islamists, a reminder that theologian and bezzie of Red Ken Livingstone, Yusuf al-Qaradawi (wiki) is still alive and turning 95 next year. 100% chance of a qualifying obit.
