Alas, 2017 deaths still arrive, and one late is Dr Gavin Stamp, architectural historian. Top dude, fought to preserve some of Glasgow's older architecture. Pal of mums. 69.

 

That's a shame. I enjoyed his Britain's Lost Cities book, condolences  to your mum.

I remember her in Tough Guys (no doubt due to her wearing spandex in most scenes) would never have thought Kirk would outlive her!

Diagnosed with early onset alzheimers at age 56, sad case.

She played Kirk's girlfriend in spite of 40 years age difference?

Still a smaller age gap than Connery and Zeta Jones in Entrapment. What a hunk of shit that was.

Found this online obituary for actor Richard Venture.

 

Surprisingly, no media has picked it up yet. I imagine Hollywood Reporter will get on it soon enough though.

I keep a record of surviving 1930s actors. It had about 200 names on it a few years ago but just 52 are left now. 

Anyways, was updating it the other day and a lot of names have passed quite recently... Nini Theilade, Rose Marie, Lassie Lou Ahern and Ann Gillis, and I noticed that two more names died in 2017 but their deaths were only recently reported.

Juanita Quigley, a former child actress and sister of actress Rita Quigley died in October at the age of 86.

Gale Sherwood, actress and singing partner of Nelson Eddy died on New Year's Eve aged 88.

Otto Warmbier, a Norh Korean prisoner from the U.S. Who was held captive for 17 months and sentenced to 15 years of hard labour has died.

He was released this month after North Koreans reported he had fallen into a coma due to a sleeping pill and botulism. Doctors in the US found no evidence of said botulism and say he was beaten.

Warmbier was 22.

 

 

Yankee Court tells Best Korea to cough over half a Billion dollars in compensation to the family.
