ALREADY HAD A SECOND COMING!!!

As @TomTomTelekom posted elsewhere:
"Popular pop rock musician and songwriter Camilo Sesto, who totaled 52 number 1 hits and 18 top 40 list songs throughout his career, dead at 72 years. He sold over 175 millions copies of his albums.

https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-49623958"

----------------

 

Fenholt, whose body was found lifeless at home, rose to fame for his portrayal of Jesus Christ in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, premiered on Broadway in 1971.  The artist's death happened casually only two days after Camilo Sesto, who also starred in Jesus Christ Superstar in 1973.

That's sad. I only just rewatched Ghost the other night.

She played one of Oda Mae's sisters in it. Oda Mae ofc played by Whoopi Goldberg.

Israel Horovitz, an American-born, France-based, playwright, director and actor, whose career was later overshadowed by accusations of sexual misconduct from nine women, has died. He was 81. Horovitz was also the father of Adam Horovitz (King Ad-Rock) of the Beastie Boys.

Crazy coincidence: I watched Ten Little Indians (1989) on the 30th November (two days before Berlinger’s death) and while watching, I remember thinking that Berlinger would be the film’s next surviving cast member to die and that it was surprising he was still alive.
