Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted July 20 Coral Lorne, a "generic old person for hire" on 90s British TV but most famous as the granny in the video to Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" (the one the demon screams in the face of) apparently died in 2005 according to IMDB, but I can't see any back-up sources. However, being as she hasn't done any acting in the past 20 years, probably true. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is going back a while, but I am trying to ascertain why French actor, Xavier Saint Macary, died aged only 39 of a heart attack in 1988. Up until the year he died, he was seemingly in good physical shape (like in Quelques Jours Avec Moi (1988)), and I have found nothing to indicate he at any point led an unhealthy lifestyle. In future, is there a thread to discuss celebrities who mysteriously died at a young age? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already submitted her death to IMDb, unfortunately one of the last surviving actresses from the class of 1925.

I'm always intrigued when we don't know a cause of death. Annette Carell's cause of death was undisclosed for a long time before it was revealed to be from a barbiturates overdose. Regarding Macary, I see his ex wife died a few years later, also aged 39 but she died from AIDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel absolutely no sadness that this man is dead. He can rot in Hell. It is worth noting that, unless he was faking it as is always a possibility with these criminal types, he was suffering from Prostate Cancer about 18 years ago, with no mention of if he was ever cured. This is what initially alerted him to my radar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good riddance, I've been waiting for this day since I studied the Vietnam war at school, I actually had him on my longlist of potential DDP uniques for next year, but as long as the scum is dead that's all I care about. Convicted of more murders than the likes of Bundy or Dahmer and yet only got 3 months of house arrest thanks to Nixon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gisooo 3,344 Posted August 6 American actress Jennifer Holden (Wiki) is dead, unfortunately I can't find an obit or a death date on Accurint. I know Find a Grave is not reliable, but it was created on June 2024 by film historian Samuel Clemmens who has knowledge and has published books about classic Hollywood models and starlets. Saw her IMDb bio has a change saying according to her husband Daryl Jones, she passed away in Grass Valley, California. Since the changes have been made for a month, my opinion is that she may have died recently, if it's May-June she may receive an obituary from the Hollywood Reporter including her role as a girlfriend/lover of Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock (1957) If anyone finds something that I might have overlooked, let me know please. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imhotep 34 Posted August 15 Wikipedia had Gray's death already listed as April 5 2022 (one day off the correct date) in late April 2023. I commented on in this in a previous post, but wiki then removed the death date altogether, perhaps because they could not provide additional documentation to verify it.
