I saw him play Malvoilio at the RSC a few years ago and was surprised at how physical he was in the role. And he isn't even a Doctor Who pick on SHBD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted August 13, 2016 Angie Dickinson anyone? Haven't seen anything about her for years and given she ran with the Rat Pack etc. wondered if she'd be a long shot for 2017? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,436 Posted August 14, 2016 Having one of my periodical looks at the fan-mail community for info on celebs who aren't replying to people anymore. It's been an infrequent sources of tips since I noticed Laurence Payne was no longer able to receive mail shortly before his death. Apparently Gene Wilder is believed to be unwell, but that might be those cancer rumours. Otherwise, Jeanne Mockford "is now very ill and is unable to sign autographs no longer."

YoungWillz 21,024 Posted August 17, 2016 Recently the wife of Arthur Hiller(b. 1923) the Director of Love Story died. They had been married since 1948 and had known each other since they were schoolchildren. Wouldn't be surprised if he went soon after. Correct, he has indeed died: http://deadline.com/2016/08/arthur-hiller-dies-love-story-director-academy-president-1201805019/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted August 21, 2016 This year, the "canon" of must-haves is relatively small as compared to last year. Of course, everyone has their potential uniques, but the common-knowledge dead-certs are few, a consequence of this year's armageddon. Basically Gord Downie and Piers Sellers. Plus the possible survivors of this year, Errol Christie and Vera Caslavska. Maybe Mark Sims? A couple of them will still die this year. Next year will be interesting.
