Toast 16,137 Posted January 11, 2013 Actor Jon Finch has died. He'd played all sorts of luvvie actory roles but I mainly know him for being the rather smarmy producer who turns Hazel O'Connor into a complete sell-out in Breaking Glass. RIP. Was once tipped for big things but it never quite happened Sounds like that was from his own choice. Like Handrejka, I vaguely remember him as being quite fit - from something or other he was in when I was much younger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted January 11, 2013 I googled some pics of him and realised that he has been in Horror films too. Was he one of the regulars on those Hammer horror films? Yeah, was a good looking fella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR976evil 906 Posted January 11, 2013 I googled some pics of him and realised that he has been in Horror films too. Was he one of the regulars on those Hammer horror films? Yeah, was a good looking fella. Think he was in a few, but by no means synonymous with them. Was in the first episode of Hammer House of Horror, which still appears regularly on satellite reruns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 13, 2013 Garfunkel (paralysed vocal chords and nearing slap-head level of baldness but...) what's threatening his life, then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 84 Posted January 13, 2013 Probably hinting at the history of depression. Didn't turn up for a gig or two a few weeks back. Smoker and bit of an alchy (I think) in the past too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 13, 2013 Definite depressive history where Garfunkel is concerned, he blames it for stalling his career in the eighties and links most of it to the somewhat thoughtless act of suicide committed by Laurie Bird in the apartment she shared with Garfunkel in New York.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted January 13, 2013 I admit to occasionally peeking at Art Garfunkel's website to see what he's been reading (Garfunkel has listed every book he's read since June 1968). Perhaps worryingly, his list, usually frequently updated, hasn't be added to since September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted January 15, 2013 Nagisa Ôshima The Japanese director of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" has died aged 80. Was discussed here in last year's possibilities thread. So far 2 internationally acclaimed foreign film directors in their 80s have died in January and neither one was on my theme which consists of mostly geriatric acclaimed foreign directors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
