Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted February 7, 2017 Richard Hatch, best known as Captain Apollo in Battlestar Galactica, reported dead at 71. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/07/do-not-post/ However, it is under a Do Not Post url, so I'm wondering if it's a mistake that it has got out onto the internet.... They'll be playing Apollo game on their Lorne Greene in heaven now... I'll get me coat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoldlady 2,303 Posted February 8, 2017 It seems to me that many celebrities recently have been dying of Pancreatic Cancer. It seems to have increase in frequency lately. Even on Wikipedia´s deathlists it seems like there is a victim of this disease every day almost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be interesting to know if that Charles Evans bloke really is still alive. Neither Wikipedia nor IMDB have any mention of him dying. He last acted in a film as late as 1991. As reported elsewhere, Peter Hansen has died aged 95. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?pid=185045243 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted June 26, 2017 On 2/17/2013 at 00:21, Guest American Sports Fan said: Some survivors from 1960s American Sci-Fi television snip Two from "The Invaders": series star Roy Thinnes (David Vincent), b. 1936, and episode narrator William Woodson, b. 1917. William Woodson is now being reported as having died back in February. Wiki has him dead and a contributor over at Voy seems to confirm this, although at this point I haven't looked for an obit. Also narrated The Winds Of War and was the voice of J Jonah Jamieson in the 1980s cartoon series of Spider-Man. DDP pick.
