And the first celebrity death of 2012 comes from really unexpected quarters indeed...

Bob Anderson, a former Olympic swordsman who staged fights for films including the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings series, has died, British fencing authorities said Monday.

He was 89.

The British Academy of Fencing said Monday that Anderson died early New Year’s Day at an English hospital.

Anderson donned Darth Vader’s black helmet and fought light saber battles in two of the three original Star Wars films, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

The villainous character was played by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones, and Anderson’s role was not initially publicized.

But Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, said in a 1983 interview that “Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader’s fighting.”

“It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told (director) George (Lucas) I didn’t think it was fair any more,” Hamill told Starlog magazine. “Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It’s ridiculous to preserve the myth that it’s all done by one man.”

Robert James Gilbert Anderson was born in Hampshire, southern England, in 1922. He served in the Royal Marines during World War II and represented Britain in fencing at the 1952 Olympics and the 1950 and 1953 world championships.

His first film work was staging fights and coaching Errol Flynn on swashbuckler The Master of Ballantrae in 1952.

He went on to become one of the industry’s most sought after sword masters, working on movies including the James Bond adventures From Russia With Love and Die Another Day; The Princess Bride; Highlander; The Legend of Zorro; First Knight; the first Pirates Of The Caribbean outing; and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

But he’s probably best known for his work on two massive trilogies – Star Wars, for which he performed as Darth Vader during lightsaber fights and tutored cast members on their technique, and the Lord Of The Rings, where he was responsible for crafting fighting moves for a variety of races, including the Hobbits.

Fencing academy president Philip Bruce said Monday that Anderson was “truly one of our greatest fencing masters and a world-class film fight director and choreographer.”

Anderson is survived by his wife Pearl and three children. Funeral details were not immediately available.

Haha, I kind of agree with Dick Clark! Lol.

Ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston dies at 64

Body found in London; multiple causes of death


LONDON (AP) — Bob Weston, a British guitarist who played with Fleetwood Mac, has died aged 64.

Police say Weston's body was found in his north London home on Tuesday after neighbors raised the alarm.

Police said Friday that his death was not being treated as suspicious. An autopsy revealed the causes of death as gastric intestinal hemorrhage, cirrhosis of the liver and throat problems.

Weston joined Fleetwood Mac in 1972 as replacement for Danny Kirwan, and played on the band's albums "Penguin" and "Mystery to Me."

But during an American tour the next year, Mick Fleetwood discovered Weston was having an affair with his wife, Jenny Boyd. Weston was fired.

He released several solo albums and recorded with musicians including Long John Baldry, Murray Head and Steve Marriott.

In 1978, he was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of Saint Peter in the television mini-series "Jesus of Nazareth."

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1938, Farentino is survived by two sons, David and Saverio.

Excalibur Star Nicol Williamson Dies
Exorcist III actor was 73

25 January 2012 | Source: The Daily Telegraph

http://www.nndb.com/people/047/000023975/nicol-williamson.jpg

Scottish actor Nicol Williamson has died aged 73, reports The Daily Telegraph. According to his son Luke, the stage and screen actor died of esophageal cancer on December 16. He was best known for his roles in Excalibur and The Exorcist III, as well as a long and much acclaimed stage career.

Williamson was a star turn as Merlin in John Boorman's dark folk fantasy Excalibur, in which he was reluctantly cast alongside former lover Helen Mirren. Boorman's mischief-making paid off: the pair share the best scenes in the film, with Mirren's Morgana and Williamson's wizard playing wittily off against each other. Williamson and Mirren had worked together once before, although much less auspiciously, in a radical staging of Macbeth.

The Hamilton-born actor made his name in John Osbourne's Inadmissible Evidence for which he received great acclaim and, later, a Tony award on Broadway. Osborne later described him as the greatest actor since Brando, a claim another playwright, Samuel Beckett, would corroborate. He was an actor, said Beckett, "touched by genius".

Williamson's last screen outing came in 1997’s comic-book noir Spawn in which he played a demon-cum-mentor to Michael Jai White's superhero. "By the time he'd made Spawn, he was done with it," Luke Williamson told Empire. More recently, he'd worked with his son on musical collaborations that showcased his diverse interests.

The actor's rich and occasionally tempestuous life took him not just to Hollywood, but into the corridors of power. Harold Wilson was so impressed by his performance in Tony Richardson's Hamlet that he commended him to Richard Nixon. The result was an invitation to perform at one of the president's 'Evening at the White House' series.

But Williamson was prouder of his performance as a different kind of politician, in the movie-length adaptation of The Resistable Rise Of Arturo Uri. He played a Hitler-like protagonist in the BBC's potent take on Bertolt Brecht's rise-of-the-Nazis parable. He also spoke fondly of a rare bad guy role alongside Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine in 1975 thriller The Wilby Conspiracy. Richard Lester's Robin And Marian, meanwhile, brought a much-valued opportunity to work with Audrey Hepburn.

The actor, who was known as a straighforward, private man, leaves his son, Luke. "He was the most honest, funny and intelligent man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing," writes Luke on Williamson's official website. "He was my father and words cannot adequately express how proud I am of him."

Eiko Ishioka, Multifaceted Designer and Oscar Winner, Dies at 73
January 26, 2012

http://www.visualogue.com/speakers/images/ishioka_f.jpg

Eiko Ishioka, a designer who brought an eerie, sensual surrealism to film and theater, album covers, the Olympics and Cirque du Soleil, in the process earning an Oscar, a Grammy and a string of other honors, died on Saturday in Tokyo.

She was 73.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, her studio manager, Tracy Roberts, said.

Trained as a graphic designer, Ms. Ishioka was for decades considered the foremost art director in Japan; she later came to be known as one of the foremost in the world.

Ms. Ishioka won an Academy Award for costume design in 1992 for “Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula,’ ” directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Her outfits for the film included a suit of full body armor for the title character (played by Gary Oldman), whose glistening red color and all-over corrugation made it look like exposed musculature, and a voluminous wedding dress worn by the actress Sadie Frost, with a stiff, round, aggressive lace collar inspired by the ruffs of frill-necked lizards.

These typified Ms. Ishioka’s aesthetic. A deliberate marriage of East and West — she had lived in Manhattan for many years — it simultaneously embraced the gothic, the otherworldly, the dramatic and the unsettling and was suffused with a powerful, dark eroticism. Her work, whose outsize stylization dazzled some critics and discomforted others, was provocative in every possible sense of the word, and it was meant to be.

Ms. Ishioka was closely associated with the director Tarsem Singh, for whom she designed costumes for four films. In the first, “The Cell” (2000), she encased Jennifer Lopez, who plays a psychologist trapped by a serial killer, in a headpiece that resembled a cross between a rigid neck brace and a forbidding bird cage.

“Jennifer asked me if I could make it more comfortable,” Ms. Ishioka told The Ottawa Citizen in 2000, “but I said, ‘No, you’re supposed to be tortured.’ ”

For Mr. Singh, she also costumed “The Fall” (2006), an adventure fantasy, and “Immortals,” a violent tale of ancient Greece released last year. Their fourth collaboration, “Mirror Mirror,” an adaptation of “Snow White,” is set for release in March.

Ms. Ishioka’s other film work includes the production design of “Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters,” Paul Schrader’s 1985 film about the doomed writer Yukio Mishima. That year the Cannes Film Festival jury awarded her — along with the film’s cinematographer, John Bailey, and its composer, Philip Glass — a special prize for “artistic contribution.”

For the Broadway stage, Ms. Ishioka designed sets and costumes for David Henry Hwang’s 1988 drama “M. Butterfly,” for which she earned two Tony nominations, and, most recently, costumes for the musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.”

She won a Grammy Award in 1986 for her design of Miles Davis’s album “Tutu,” whose cover is dominated by an Irving Penn photograph of Mr. Davis, shot in extreme close-up and starkly lighted.

In other work, Ms. Ishioka designed uniforms and outerwear for selected members of the Swiss, Canadian, Japanese and Spanish teams at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. She was also the director of costume design for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Ms. Ishioka’s portfolio extended to the circus and a magic show. She designed costumes for Cirque du Soleil’s “Varekai” (2002) and was the visual artistic director of the illusionist David Copperfield’s 1996 Broadway show, “Dreams and Nightmares.”

She also designed costumes for the singer Grace Jones’s “Hurricane” tour in 2009 (they were noteworthy even by Ms. Jones’s lofty standards for the outré) and directed Bjork’s music video “Cocoon.” Her books include “Eiko by Eiko” (1983) and “Eiko on Stage” (2000), both available in English.

Ian Abercrombie, the actor best recognized for playing Elaine Benes’ boss on Seinfeld, has died.

He was 77.

Abercrombie, who did voice work on the movie Rango this year, passed away in Hollywood on Thursday. He just finished work on the animated series Green Lantern for the Cartoon Network.

Abercrombie’s career spanned more than 50 years and included roles in flicks like Young Frankenstein and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Abercrombie made his American stage debut in 1955 in a production of Stalag 17. He played the Wise Man in Sam Raimi’s comedy-horror film Army of Darkness (1992). He lent his voice to Palpatine/Darth Sidious on the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

TV gigs included playing Mr. Pitt on Seinfeld, as well as parts on Wizards of Waverly Place, Desperate Housewives, Murphy Brown and L.A. Law.

He was born in Essex, England and began his career as a stage actor.

'Soul Train' creator Don Cornelius dead at 75 from apparent suicide

http://images.hitfix.com/photos/1071229/don-cornelius_article_story_main.jpg

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Don Cornelius, who with the creation of "Soul Train" helped break down racial barriers and broaden the reach of black culture with funky music, groovy dance steps and cutting edge style, died early Wednesday of an apparent suicide.

He was 75.

Officers responding to a report of a shooting found Cornelius at his Mulholland Drive home at around 4 a.m., police said. He was pronounced dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 4:56 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.

"I am shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden passing of my friend, colleague, and business partner Don Cornelius," said Quincy Jones. "Don was a visionary pioneer and a giant in our business. Before MTV there was 'Soul Train,' that will be the great legacy of Don Cornelius. His contributions to television, music and our culture as a whole will never be matched. My heart goes out to Don's family and loved ones."

"Soul Train" began in 1970 in Chicago on WCIU-TV as a local program and aired nationally from 1971 to 2006.

It introduced television audiences to such legendary artists as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Barry White and brought the best R&B, soul and later hip-hop acts to TV and had teenagers dance to them. It was one of the first shows to showcase African-Americans prominently, although the dance group was racially mixed. Cornelius was the first host and executive producer.

"There was not programming that targeted any particular ethnicity," he said in 2006, then added: "I'm trying to use euphemisms here, trying to avoid saying there was no television for black folks, which they knew was for them."

"When we rolled it out, there were only eight takers," he recalled in a 2006 interview with The Associated Press. "Which was somewhere between a little disappointing and a whole lot disappointing."

The reasons he heard? "There was just, 'We don't want it. We pass,'" he said, with race going unmentioned. "No one was blatant enough to say that."

Audience reaction and the high-powered talent the show attracted helped it spread. Over the years, "Soul Train" showcased some of R&B's biggest stars, including Gaye and Brown, as well as crossover white artists. In later years, it featured rap stars, although Cornelius acknowledged that he was no fan of the genre or the racier dance moves that younger teens had embraced.

The show's highlight was a dance line. Teens strutted and pranced their way between two lines of dancers awaiting their turn to show off. Over time, the dance line worked its way into American culture and is now an integral part of wedding receptions and parties.

Cornelius, who was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame in 1995 and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in 2006 he remained grateful to the musicians who made "Soul Train" the destination for the best and latest in black music.

"I figured as long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train,'" Cornelius said.

The series spawned a franchise that includes the Soul Train Music Awards, the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and the Soul Train Christmas Starfest.

Cornelius stepped down as "Soul Train" host in 1993. The awards returned to the air in 2009 after two-year hiatus. Last year's awards were held on Nov. 27 in Atlanta, with Earth Wind & Fire receiving the "Legend Award."

In his later years, Cornelius had a troubled marriage. In 2009, he was sentenced to three years' probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor spousal battery. In his divorce case that year, he also mentioned having significant health issues.

Leslie Carter, Nick and Aaron's Sister and Former E! Star, Dies at 25

http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201211//300.Lesie.tg.020112.jpg

A sad day indeed at the Carter house.

E! News has confirmed that Leslie Carter, the sister of singers Nick and Aaron Carter, has passed away.

She was only 25.

"Our family is grieving right now and it's a private matter. We are deeply saddened for the loss of our beloved sister, daughter, and granddaughter, Leslie Carter," the Carter family said in a statement. "We request the utmost privacy during this difficult time."

Leslie died Tuesday in upstate New York. However, no further details have been given regarding the cause of death.

An aspiring singer, Leslie's song "Like Wow!" was featured on the 2001 Shrek soundtrack. She later appeared with Nick, Aaron and her other two siblings on the 2006 E! reality show House of Carters.

Two years later, Leslie married and, in April 2011, she and husband Mike welcomed a daughter, Alyssa Jane.

Oh dear, that really is sad news :( Not that I was even aware of her existence, but such a young death is never nice to hear about.

New details have emerged in the "mysterious" death of Leslie Carter, including a possible cause of the 25-year-old's untimely passing.

http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201211//300.ab.leslie.020112.jpg

According to a police report obtained by E! News, the former House of Carters star and sister of Nick and Aaron Carter died as a result of an overdose, with three prescription drugs found near her body.

The report was taken by officials who first responded to the 911 call, and per the document, the three prescription bottles found nearby were Olanzapine, used to treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the muscle relaxant Cyclobenzaprine, and the anxiety medication Xanax.

Though official autopsy results have yet to be released pending the toxicology tests, a source close to the Carters tells E! News that family members believe Leslie overdosed on pills.

Per the police report, Leslie's stepmother Ginger found Leslie's unresponsive body around 4:10 p.m. on Jan. 31 and immediately dialed 911.

Leslie and her baby (she was estranged from her on-again, off-again hubby) were living with her father, Robert, in Buffalo and, a source tells E! News, had been trying to wean herself off her medication.

After her body was found, Robert performed CPR, though Leslie was ultimately pronounced dead at the hospital at 4:59 p.m.

According to Ginger, Leslie "seemed OK in the morning but at times seemed depressed just by the way she was talking."

Earlier the same day, Ginger told authorities that Leslie had fallen in the shower and proceeded to sleep through the afternoon while she cared for the 10-month-old baby.

It was only when Robert came home later that afternoon that Leslie was found not breathing or responding. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead a short while later.

The full autopsy results have not yet been disclosed, though a source tells E! News "the family is devastated" and is already moving ahead with making burial plans.

Film-makers Mike deGruy and Andrew Wight killed in helicopter smash

Titanic director James Cameron pays tribute to his deep-sea brothers who had accomplished 'extraordinary things'


We’ve just heard the sad news that SANCTUM producer Andrew Wight has died in a helicopter crash off the coast of New South Wales in Australia. The filmmaker perished with BAFTA and Emmy award winner Mike deGruy in the accident whilst they were apparently scouting locations for a new project.

Wight was just 51 years old and deGruy 60.

Wight was worked on a variety of projects for James Cameron including the 3D underwater film GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS in 2003 before going on to write and produce SANCTUM last year, a film that was executive-produced by Cameron. SANCTUM was based on Wight’s own experience revolving around his near-death incident in an underwater cave. It went on to take $100 million at the box-office.

Mike deGruy was an award-winning cinematographer, working on such projects as DEEP BLUE and many other TV wildlife documentaries. He tweeted four days before the crash; “Been in Australia 2 weeks, one to go then off to PNG. Love this place – especially Sydney on Australia Day.”

They were apparently due to work on an upcoming project together said to be a documentary about Papua, New Guinea.

Police said two people – a pilot and a passenger – died on Saturday when their aircraft crashed soon after takeoff near Nowra, 97 miles north of Sydney, but did not immediately release the victims' identities. ABC News reported that Wight had been piloting the helicopter.

The pair's employers, National Geographic and the Titanic director, James Cameron, confirmed the victims' identities, adding that "the deep-sea community had lost two of its finest" with the deaths of the underwater documentary specialists.

"Mike and Andrew were like family to me," the director added. "They were my deep-sea brothers and both were true explorers who did extraordinary things and went places no human being has been."

There's a rumor going around the Internet that Whitney Houston died.

Confirmed.


http://www.alldesktopentertainment.com/download/whitney-houston/whitney-houston-3.jpg

Whitney Houston, as famous for her golden voice as she was for the troubles that plagued her personal life, has died.

She was 48.

Her publicist, Kristen Foster, confirmed the singer's death Saturday only hours before Houston was due to perform at music mogul Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

"I can confirm that Whitney Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. We received a call at 3:43 p.m. from hotel security and Beverly Hills fire and police responded minutes later," Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen tells PEOPLE. "Someone in her entourage found her unresponsive in her room ... It's unclear who notified hotel staff because she has quite an entourage here at the hotel. We attempted to resuscitate her, to no avail."

As to whether there was any evidence of drugs or foul play, Rosen responded: "At this time, there's no obvious evidence of foul play or cause of death."

Born in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston, the cousin of '60s pop diva Dionne Warwick (and the late Dee Dee Warwick) and the goddaughter of Aretha Franklin first started singing in the church as a child. In her teens, Whitney sang backup for Chaka Khan, Jermaine Jackson and others, in addition to modeling.

Around the same time, she joined her mother singing in New York City nightclubs, which helped her catch the ear of Clive Davis. Clive Davis first heard Houston perform. Houston's debut album, Whitney Houston, was produced by Davis and released in 1985, selling millions of copies. Among the hits off of it were "Saving All My Love for You," "How Will I Know," ''You Give Good Love" and "The Greatest Love of All."

Two years later, songs like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," both topped the charts, and by 1992 she rose to the ranks of Hollywood stardom opposite Kevin Costner in the runaway hit The Bodyguard.

But Houston's considerable talent was often overshadowed by her struggles with addiction and her widely chronicled marriage to her bad-boy husband.

In 2010, Houston opened up about the darker side of her life, admitting to Oprah Winfrey that by the time she was working with Denzel Washington on The Preacher's Wife in 1996, drugs were a routine part of her life. She went to rehab twice before getting clean, she told Winfrey.

In May 2011, her rep said Houston was once again receiving help for drug and alcohol abuse.

The status of her health in recent weeks had been open to discussion, though she appeared to be on a comeback trail as far as the movies were concerned. After a more than 15-year hiatus from the big screen, Houston recently filmed Sparkle, due to arrive in theaters Aug. 10, with Jordin Sparks.

In 1992, she married former New Edition member Bobby Brown.

She and Brown, who had a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993, divorced in 2007. Houston went to rehab twice and said she was drug-free in 2010.

Sad news today as Moviefone is reporting that veteran Irish actor David Kelly, who is best known to American movie fans as Charlie's beloved Grandpa Joe in Johnny Depp's 2005 version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," has died following a brief illness.

He was 82 years old.

It's rare that an actor receives his greatest roles and accolades upon reaching old age, but that was the case for Kelley. Appearing in a hundred films and TV shows, not to mention numerous stage productions, Kelly was a respected character actor for decades in Britain and Ireland, with perhaps his best known early role being in the original 1969 version of "The Italian Job."

But Kelly truly gained international fame only late in life, thanks to the 1998 comedy "Waking Ned Devine," where he played an elderly man attempting to claim the lottery winnings of a dead neighbor. The role, which included a famous scene where Kelly raced a motorcycle completely in the nude, earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination from the Screen Actors Guild.

That in turn brought him numerous opportunities from Hollywood, eventually culminating in his turn as Grandpa Joe in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," the kindly gent whose moral compass helps guide Charlie through the factory's many temptations. The movie was released in 2005, the same year Kelly earned a lifetime achievement award from the Irish Film and Television Academy.

Kelly's final film was the 2007 fantasy "Stardust."

Special Effects Artist Yasuyuki Inoue Passes Away


Yasuyuki Inoue, one of the most innovative and influential Special Effects artists in movies, has died. Inoue spent his entire career at Toho Studios creating creatures and miniatures for all of Toho’s scifi and fantasy movies, including Godzilla.

His career began by chance when, while hanging around the studio, Inoue was hired to design and build props and models for movie sets. Inoue was ultimately recruited by Eiji Tsuburaya (1901-1970) for his SFX team—a collaboration that would become legendary. It was Tsuburaya who established the signature SFX of Godzilla being played by a man in a specially designed latex costume and the use of miniatures.

Throughout the 1950s and 60s Inoue and his creative team designed and built every piece of SFX magic in Toho’s films. Cities like Tokyo and Yokohama were built with meticulous detail only to be destroyed by a man in a suit. Yasuyuki Inoue’s biggest, and final, Godzilla film would be Godzilla 1985: The Legend Is Reborn (1984).

In 2008 Toho Studios produced the documentary Bringing Godzilla Down to Size: The Art of Japanese Special Effects. Directed by Godzilla junkie Norman England, the documentary would finally tell the entire story of an amazing era of Japanese SFX, begun by Eiji Tsuburaya and Yasuyuki Inoue.

Bringing Godzilla Down to Size is included on the DVD release of Rodan/War of the Gargantuas by Classic Media.

Erland Josephson, actor and director, born 15 June 1923; died 25 February 2012

Swedish actor known for his roles in Ingmar Bergman's films and television dramas


Although the actors who comprised Ingmar Bergman's repertory company all went on to make their own prestigious careers, they will for ever be associated with the great Swedish film and stage director.

Erland Josephson, who has died aged 88 after suffering from Parkinson's disease, was artistically linked with Bergman even more than Max Von Sydow, Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Thulin. Josephson appeared in more than a dozen of Bergman's films, and played a Bergman surrogate in Ullmann's Faithless (2000).

In middle and old age, he was chosen by directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Theo Angelopoulos for the qualities he revealed in the Bergman films – a certain self-centred introspection and a deep melancholy, etched on his lined and grizzled features. Because he became a leading film actor in his 50s, he seems never to have been young.

His work with Bergman dated back to the 1940s, when they were at the Municipal theatre, Helsingborg. They then worked together at Gothenburg Municipal theatre and the Royal Dramatic theatre, Stockholm, where he took over from Bergman as artistic director in 1966.

Josephson was born in Stockholm into a cultured family (his father owned a bookshop). He studied at the university there before taking up acting. "I am of the international upper class, the Swedish petit bourgeoisie of Jewish extraction with poor language skills, a conveyor of a few expressions and faces, with some intonation that combines ancient human experience with timely coquetry," he once said.

He made his screen debut in Bergman's second film as director, It Rains on Our Love (1946). His first substantial role for Bergman was one of the three husbands waiting in a maternity ward in So Close to Life (1958). In The Magician (aka The Face, 1958), he looks surprisingly youthful as a weak-willed, cuckolded consul who humiliates and interrogates a troupe of performers.

It was 10 years before he returned to making films. He played a sinister baron in Hour of the Wolf (1968) and an unhappily married man in The Passion of Anna (1969), playing second male lead (to Von Sydow) in both. This would change in 1973 with Scenes from a Marriage, a six-part TV series edited down to 168 minutes for cinematic release. The film, an acting tour de force played largely in close-up, focuses on the trauma of a beleaguered marriage, as the wife (Ullmann) tries to cope with the infidelity of her husband (Josephson) with a younger woman (Bibi Andersson). He co-starred with Ullmann again in Face to Face (1976), as a sympathetic doctor who rescues her from a nervous breakdown.

Meanwhile, he began appearing, less happily, in films by other directors. He was a febrile Nietzsche in Liliana Cavani's preposterous Beyond Good and Evil (1977); an opera-loving gay man in To Forget Venice (1979); a chauvinist in Montenegro (1981); and a former ambassador hovering in bars in The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988).

There were better roles, especially in Tarkovsky's last films, Nostalgia (1983) and The Sacrifice (1986), proving that few actors could more convincingly express modern angst than Josephson. In the former, he believes that the end of the world is nigh (although the end of the film never seems near). In the latter, at the start of a nuclear war, he is a writer who makes a pact with God that he will renounce his family and possessions if the world is allowed to return to normal.

In contrast, he demonstrated great warmth in Fanny and Alexander (1982), one of Bergman's most optimistic films, and was lively and lovable in Angelopoulos's Ulysses' Gaze (1995). "In Bergman's world I represented a sort of intellectual, sceptical, ironic person, rather cold and frustrated," he said. "When I went abroad and made films in Italy and other places, I was used in different ways. I was often cast as crazy people … I think perhaps that changed how Ingmar saw me. Suddenly I was on the more magical side of his world, playing the people with fantasies, variety, the artists."

Josephson starred in Bergman's television dramas as the director's alter ego, Vogler. Bergman directed him on stage in A Doll's House (1989), The Bacchae (1996), The Ghost Sonata (2000) and Mary Stuart (2000). In 1988, he gave a vital, engaged performance in English as Gaev in Peter Brook's production of The Cherry Orchard in New York.

It was inevitable and fitting that Josephson should have appeared in Bergman's last work, Saraband (2003), which follows the couple from Scenes from a Marriage long after their divorce. In a prologue, 10 scenes and an epilogue, featuring four speaking characters, Bergman's rapport with Josephson is at its height.

As well as teaching drama and chairing many theatrical institutions (he was active in Swedish Equity), Josephson wrote novels, stories, plays, scripts and poems.

He was married to the actors Kristina Adolphson and Barbro Larsson, and is survived by his five children and his wife, the dramaturge Ulla Åberg.

http://www.questmedia.net/images/YoungDavyJones.jpg

Davy Jones, lead singer of '60s pop sensations and television band The Monkees has died at the age of 66 in his home state of Florida, according to the Martin County medical examiner's office. He suffered a heart attack.

The Monkees were created initially to be a sort of "safe" Beatles by record and TV producers in 1965, but ended up making hit singles, a cult TV series, and a film, 1968's Head, which would prove to be one of the first salvos of the psychedelic era.

The group broke up in 1970, and reunited in the mid-'80s around the time Nickelodeon began re-airing their series. They went on a few tours, sans Michael Nesmith who never warmed up to reunion plans.

Mr. Kubert was most closely associated with DC, for whom he drew Sgt. Rock, a World War II infantryman he created with the writer Robert Kanigher, and Hawkman, an airborne crime fighter. He also created Tor, a prehistoric hero, and, with Mr. Kanigher, Enemy Ace, whose antihero is a German pilot. In addition, Mr. Kubert was considered one of the definitive interpreters of Tarzan.

Tony Scott made his feature directorial debut with "The Hunger," an atmospheric, stylish vampire movie starring Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie. The film was a flop, but he went from strength to strength in commercials, and the early days of music videos, and a Saab promo he shot that featured a fighter jet brought him to the attention of Jerry Bruckhemer and Don Simpson, who hired him to direct "Top Gun." The film was a monster hit, helping to cement the stardom of its young lead, Tom Cruise.

Scott was now a hot property, and followed "Top Gun" with "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Revenge," "Days Of Thunder" and the terrific Shane Black-penned action-comedy "The Last Boy Scout," before in 1993, helming a script by a young writer-director called Quentin Tarantino; "True Romance."

Top-notch submarine thriller "Crimson Tide," rare flop "The Fan" and another gloriously entertaining Bruckheimer actioner, "Enemy Of The State," followed, before Redford teamed up with Brad Pitt and Robert Redford for the underated "Spy Game." 2004 then brought the start of a new phase of his career, with "Man On Fire," which didn't just see him work for the second of five times with Denzel Washington, but also saw him push his aesthetic to jittery new extremes, something that would continue through "Domino," "Deja Vu," "The Taking Of Pelham 123" and finally, "Unstoppable," which saw him finding the sweet spot between his formal experimentation and mainstream entertainment.

Scott jumped to his death from the Vincent Thomas Bridge spanning San Pedro and Terminal Island, according to Los Angeles County coroner's officials. He climbed a fence on the south side of the bridge's apex and leapt off "without hesitation" around 12:30 p.m., according to the Coroner's Department and port police.

A suicide note was found inside Scott's black Toyota Prius, which was parked on one of the eastbound lanes of the bridge, said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jennifer Osburn.

He’s survived by his wife, Donna, and two children.

Comedian Phyllis Diller -- who paved the way for today's female comics -- died this morning, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Diller tell us the comedian died in her sleep at her L.A. home, surrounded by family. She was 95.

We're told Diller had recently fallen, hurting her wrist and hip -- but her rep says the injury had nothing to do with her death.

Diller suffered a heart attack in 1999 and was later fitted with a pacemaker.

Phyllis began her career all the way back in 1952 -- and rose to fame with her TV specials alongside Bob Hope in the 1960s.

R.I.P. William Windom.

http://nukethefridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/windom-trek2.jpg

It may well be that the American actor William Windom, who has died aged 88 of congestive heart failure, appeared as a guest star in more TV series than anyone else in the history of the medium.

The character actor's career on television spanned seven decades, from his debut as a fiery Tybalt in a Philco Television Playhouse production of Romeo and Juliet (1949) to an episode of Star Trek: New Voyages (2004) in which he recreated the role of the unbalanced Commodore Matt Decker. Decker was first seen in one of the series's best chapters, The Doomsday Machine (1967), and it was enough to sanctify Windom in the eyes of Trekkies. The role had been written for Robert Ryan, but Windom's powerful portrayal made any possible comparisons redundant.

Among many other standout performances on television were two in the cultish Twilight Zone series, as an agitated military officer who turns out to be a doll in Five Characters in Search of an Exit (1961), and as a calm psychiatrist trying to sort out Robert Duvall's disturbed mind in Miniature (1963). Windom also had leading parts in long-running programmes such as The Farmer's Daughter (1963-66), as a widowed congressman who falls for the Swedish farm girl (Inger Stevens), governess to his children; and Murder, She Wrote (1984-96), in which he was Seth Hazlitt, the crusty old doctor, friend and confidant of the crime writer Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury).

When already 13 years into his long career in television, Windom made his big-screen debut in one of his best films, To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), in which he played the smirking prosecutor who knows that he just has to play the race card to win against Gregory Peck, defending a black man charged with the rape of a white woman.

Further unsympathetic roles followed: an alcoholic whose sister (Joan Caulfield) is being wooed by a cattle rancher (Robert Taylor) in Guns of Wyoming (1963); a closeted, married gay man in The Detective (1968); a sleazy movie producer in The Angry Breed (also 1968); and Deborah Kerr's cuckold husband in The Gypsy Moths (1969). In Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Windom, trying not to look foolish, played the US president questioning an English-speaking simian couple who have landed in America by spaceship.

Windom is survived by his fifth wife, Patricia, and four children.

Born 28 September 1923; died 16 August 2012.

[neverending]

A top notch actor. Let's not overlook one of his best roles, as the lead in 60s sitcom "My World, and Welcome To It," based on the writings of James Thurber. Windom played a cartoonist, misunderstood by everyone, particularly his wife and precocious daughter. The cartoons he drew would come to life in what was one of the most clever sitcoms ever filmed.

Herbert Lom had died aged 95..I love Asylum and will watch it again tonight in his honour.He was truly a legend of our time

Confirmed. I came online to post it.

Herbert Lom, the Czech-born actor best known as Inspector Clouseau’s long-suffering boss in the Pink Panther movies, died Thursday, his son said.

He was 95.

Alec Lom said his father died peacefully in his sleep.

Herbert Lom had a handsomely lugubrious look that was suited to comedy, horror and everything in between. It served him well over a six-decade career in which roles ranged from Napoleon Bonaparte — whom he played twice — to the Phantom of the Opera.

The London-based star appeared in more than 100 films, including Spartacus and El Cid, and acted alongside film greats including Charlton Heston and Kirk Douglas.

Born Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru in Prague in 1917, Lom came to Britain at the start of World War II and began his career as a radio announcer with the BBC’s overseas service.

His first major movie role was as Napoleon in 1942′s The Young Mr. Pitt. The career that followed saw him cast often as a villain. In The Ladykillers, one of the best-loved British films of the 1950s, Lom played a member of a ruthless crime gang fatally outsmarted by a mild-mannered old lady.

Horror roles included the title character in Hammer Studios’ The Phantom of the Opera in 1962, and Van Helsing in 1970′s Count Dracula, opposite Christopher Lee.

Former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern.

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2011/news/111219/george-mcgovern-2-300.jpg

George McGovern – whose unsuccessful 1972 campaign against Richard Nixon is remembered for having helped spark the Watergate office break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters that was eventually traced back to the Nixon White House – died early Sunday morning, said a family spokesman.

He was 90.

McGovern was hospitalized last Dec. 2 in Sioux City, S.D., after he fell and injured his head on the sidewalk outside the Dakota Wesleyan University's McGovern Library. Though he was later released, he had been in failing health throughout 2012, and on Oct. 8 he entered hospice care in Sioux Falls "with a combination of medical conditions, due to age, that have worsened over recent months," said a statement from his family.

Though he wrote over 60 astronomy books, for many people including me who were teens in the 90s they will mostly remember him as the titular "Gamesmaster" in the UKTV channel 4 show. His priceless advice to people's computer game related problems were legendary. My fave pearl of wisdom from memory was when he said something like "What? You don't know how to beat the final boss in Super Mario World on the SNES? That's disgraceful I refuse to answer such an easy question-go away!"
