Here's a link for Val Haller

 

Seems like he didn't just pass away, but commited suicide on December 16th

 

Val was an original member of WAYNE COUNTY AND THE ELECTRIC CHAIRS and THE MYSTERE FIVES, AUTUMNFAIR with Thom Fuhrmann and was also later intermittently part of California Band SAVAGE REPUBLIC.

Val took his own life on the 16th of December 2012 in California USA, where he had been living since the 1980’s with his wife and three sons whilst struggling against the effects of the global economic recession in America.

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.

Wasn't he also in 'Frenzy', Hitchcock's last British film?

Bloody hell, about this time last year I was watching Frenzy with a friend and commented to him that it was a shame Jon Finch had died so young as I was convinced he was already dead, and was happy to be corrected. I've actually been excessively googling him recently for some reason (mostly because he was quite fit) so feel a bit weird now. That often happens to me.
