And I have another very close friend who is very, very ill. If he survives until next weekend I’ll be surprised. And I won’t mention his name, but you’ll read about him in the papers.” I’ve read in Caine’s autobiographies that he has long been great friends with Sidney Poitier!!!!! I have a feeling this could be Poitier but I really hope I’m wrong. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,443 Posted October 18, 2021 It's more likely to be someone notable enough to get a Telegraph or Times obit but that practically no one on here could name off top of their head - like Johnny Gold mentioned in the same paragraph. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan Freeman. They've done a few movies together especially in the last few years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bricusse is the only living one out of the five. Leslie Bricusse is no longer the last one living. Apparently Joan Collins has confirmed his death. Looking for a link. Bit of a pisser, he was on my shortlist for next year. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prussianblue 1,031 Posted January 31, 2022 The Bonhams auction is now live, if anyone is curious to browse the lots: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/27705/ Interesting selection of film and travel posters, art, books, jewellery, furniture, etc.. Lots of affordable three-figure estimates, but I dare say these might be exceeded. Who wouldn't want this Muppet Christmas Carol bomber jacket? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
