Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted April 19 Finally managed to get ahold of a copy of the Autumn/Winter 2023 issue or Equity magazine. There are quite a few off radar deaths to cover this time. I'll post about them within the next hour. Firstly, here are all the names we've already covered on DeathList up until now. The embarrassing inclusion of Rolf Harris and Barry Bethell makes me wonder if this is why the issue has not been uploaded online to either the Equity website or their issuu page?

Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted April 19 Here we are. All the notable deaths not covered on here before now featured in the latest Equity magazine. Equity Magazine Autumn/Winter 2023 – In Memoriam with Wiki pages: Bruce Beeby (wiki, 1921–2013) Aussie actor who appeared in British film and television – yes he died over a decade ago, and I don't know why Equity didn't spot it until now, but we never mentioned him on here at the time either! Best known for appearing in the radio serial "Journey into Space", last notable credit was in the 1970 film "Wuthering Heights". Bruce Bould (wiki, 1949–2023) English actor who appeared as David in "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin". Other credits include "Z-Cars", "The Good Life" and "The New Avengers". Jacqueline Dark (wiki, 1968–2023) mezzo-soprano with Opera Australia Shirley Gee (wiki, 1932–2016) English playwright, widower of actor Donald Gee (listed above). I guess her death has come to light because her husband's death was reported last year. Julia Goss (wiki, 1946–2023) soprano and occasional actress from Lanarkshire, Scotland Doktor Haze (wiki, 1956–2023) circus owner and performer, ringmaster at The Circus of Horrors, he was also an independent candidate in Brighton Kemptown, appeared on Britain's Got Talent and even held several Guinness World Records Other worthwhile mentions: Jane Briers (IMDb, 1939–2020) actress, sister of Richard Briers, known for playing Rose in "Close to Home" (no, me neither) Jon Ellison (IMDb, 1930–2023) baritone and actor. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company has a profile for him here. Ruth Goring (IMDb, 1927–2023) actress, appeared in "Yentl", widower of the more famous actor Lee Montague (born 1927), spotted in the GRO by @Master Obit and reported on here by @Gisooo but we couldn't confirm if this was actually her death listing until now Murray Hayne (IMDb, 1931–2023) actor, minor roles in "The Avengers" and "Dixon of Dock Green" Patricia Heneghan (IMDb, 1934–2023) actress, notably the librarian and short-term girlfriend for Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in 1961 Alfred Hoffman (IMDb, 1924–2023) actor, previously mentioned by @Gisooo on the forum. Him and his wife Leila Hoffman (born 1934, also an actress and still living) were featured in The Express in 2017 as Britain's "oldest working couple". Roz McCutcheon (IMDb, 1947–2023) heavy Irish bit part actress and genealogist Sheena Penson (IMDb, c. 1948–2023) Scottish actress, appeared in 2 episodes of "Taggart" and 3 episodes of "Still Game" as Sandra Christopher Reich (IMDb, 1945–20??) actor, played David Samuels in EastEnders for 54 episodes in the 1980s, and appeared as Number 5 in "Never Say Never Again" Jane Jordan Rogers (IMDb, 1931–20??)

Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted April 19 2 minutes ago, YoungWillz said: I am sure I posted Lilias Walker's death. Bruce Bould off the radar is a surprise. Bould received a wee write up from BAFTA. I'll move Lillias Walker up to the first post seeing as she was indeed covered. For some reason she is listed in Equity as "Lilias" (one 'l' rather than two)... perhaps a typo. That's why I wasn't finding her with the search! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,194 Posted April 19 Bruce Bould was CJ's 'Super' man, surprised he died off radar. Christopher Reich was the main one I'd heard of instantly. Had a long theatre career, appeared in Bergerac, Pink Panther and lots of other stuff. Sorry to hear this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master Obit 830 Posted April 19 @Ulitzer95The Alfred Hoffman who died in 2021 seems to have been born in 1923 so I don't think it's the same one. I'm lay in bed presently so unable to use my laptop, but will confirm anything needed by you and @Gisooo tomorrow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Obit 830 Posted April 20 @Ulitzer95 Alfred Hoffman died 18/05/2023 @Gisooo Vivienne Martin, or Vivienne Ann Martin, died 22/01/2023. Bizarrely, she is listed as born on 28/12/1930, not 28/12/1936. Possible she understated her age deliberately. They've done some maintenance so I can now access things registered in October, so if either of you has any names you want checking then tell me who they are and I'll get to it after tennis later. I've had a nice sports massage from a young muscular footballer today, so I'm feeling extremely relaxed and unburdened. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted April 20 Christopher Reich also has a small but memorable role in the original Survivors, as the Doctor who realises there's a pandemic before dying of it and telling his friend (and show main character) Jenny to get to the countryside. He's also in one of the Armchair Thrillers, though not the one with the ghost nun everyone remembers. Sheena Penson is in a good Taggart but in a blink and you'll miss it extra role. She was recurring in Still Game but not memorably so. Patricia Heneghan had a recurring role in Crown Court in episodes not yet repeated by Talking Pictures. She was in a lot of the early 70s TV classics, and played a minor role in classic film Whistle down the Wind. Murray Hayne a recognisable face. Another memorable role in Survivors, Hodges from When the Boat Comes in (seemingly never off Drama), Martin in the (godawful) Brothers, and yes, as a hypnotised killer in a Tara King episode of The Avengers. One of those "that face" old school actors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other credits include "Z-Cars", "The Good Life" and "The New Avengers". That's sad. He was "s-s-super" in Reginald Perrin! Was also in a rather poignant episode of Shelly with Hywell Bennett as a fellow unemployed man as they pondered on the increasing unemployment around them.
