Le Monde reports that Pierre Étaix, the Oscar-winning French comedian and filmmaker, has died at the age of 88. He’s best known for his acclaimed short- and feature-length films in the 1960’s, all of which were tied up in rights disputes for over 20 years until their eventual restoration and revival in 2012, courtesy of Janus Films. These films include “Le Grand Amour,” “As Long as You’ve Got Your Health,” “Land of Milk and Honey,” “Rupture,” “The Suitor,” and “Yoyo.”

Don't know the current health status of any of these fella's from Italy but certainly should be on people's radars the next few years based on age.

 

Nino Castelnuovo born 1936 -100% would get a DDP Qualifying Orbit because of his roles in Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The English Patient

 

Lando Buzzanca born 1935 -70-80% certain he would get a QO Orbit . Another actor Giorgio Albertazzi, with a similiar lengthy resume in Italy got a Guardian Orbit earlier this year.

Aldo Puglisi born 1935- 50/50 chance Hasn't been in anything in decades. Most memorable performance,Peppino in the classic comedy" Seduced And Abandoned" was never shown in UK theater's according to IMDB

Castelnuovo had glaucoma and is almost blind. Buzzanca tried to commit suicide some years ago, while Puglisi appears to be in excellent health. Anyway the only famous man I remember got an Orbit was Gene Roddenberry.

Funny how he died just a few days after Carlos Alberto, the last captain to lift the old Jules Rimet trophy!

I can never see the thing without thinking of 'Fantasy Football' when they made their own World Cup by dunking a melon in a bucket of custard.

Northern Italian lawyer and civil servant Antonio Preto died on November the 3rd aged 51. He was almost unknown in Italy, but it seems that he was very competent in his field.
