Cory Monteith
"Finn" from Glee...Drug overdose.

I never saw him in too much else, and while in my personal opinion this show was only really ever worth the effort throughout season 1 and went downhill pretty fast, it's still a shame to see someone go out that early in life.

Another reason to stick to nature, people.

My favorite role of hers is Mrs. Peacock in "Clue". Second favorite is "Private Benjamin". Stellar actress who will be missed. RIP, Ms. Brennan.

Actress Karen Black dead at 74

http://www.chicagotribune.com/entert...,1998067.story

As well as appearing in countless dramatic roles in films such as Five Easy Pieces and Nashville, Karen Black had a penchant for genre films and appeared in many horror films, good and bad. In fact, in a poll here at HDC I posted her as my favorite "scream queen."

Burnt Offerings, Trilogy of Terror, House of 1,000 Corpses, Invaders From Mars, Evil Spirits, the list goes on and on. A really great actress who could bring a serious dramatic flair to a role, but wasn't affreaid to let it all hang out and ham it up when necessary.

RIP.

Well said, Never. What I really liked about Karen Black as an actress, or perhaps as a person, is she expertly, or effortlessly, conveyed personal vulnerability in her roles, which endears the film viewer care about the character; we let the character in, suspension of disbelief is realized, and we are in it together with Karen. You can see it. You can feel it. Can you see in these photos?

This is shocking and utterly unexpected...

HDC member stygianwitch passed away in her sleep on 06th August, 2013, at her home due to complications arising out of a viral infection.


She was a wonderful, warm, lovely soul who was very friendly, easy-going and had a humble demeanor. She also possessed a lot of knowledge on a wide variety of stuff and you could talk to her about anything.

Through our forum, she had met fellow HDC member tic and both of them fell in love and married back in 2009. Those were wonderful moments...old-timers should remember.

Rest In Peace., Styg. You were and always will be missed.

Actor Lee Thompson Young, played Barry Frost on "Rizzoli & Isles". Committed suicide, age 29.

I guess I'll never understand what drives someone to take their own life. Very sad. I always enjoyed his character on the show.

Richard C Sarafian @ 83.

Quote:

Vanishing Point was one of a crop of existential road movies in the early 1970s which quickly gained cult status.

Its director, Richard C Sarafian, who has died aged 83, never made another film that struck such a resounding chord with audiences, countercultural or otherwise. No matter: the appeal of Vanishing Point was enduring enough to make him a noted, even influential, figure.

Quentin Tarantino thanked Sarafian in the closing credits of his own four-wheeled thriller, Death Proof (2007), and the Scottish band Primal Scream signalled their admiration for Vanishing Point by naming a 1997 album after the movie.

Yes to the first two. Loved his books, and Hollywood usually did justice to his books when making them into a movie.

Hal Needham @ 82.

Quote:

Hal Needham, longtime stuntman and director of “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Cannonball Run” for Burt Reynolds, died Friday in Los Angeles after a short battle with cancer, his manager confirmed.

He was 82.

At one time the highest paid stuntman in the world, he was said to have broken 56 bones, broken his back twice, punctured a lung and knocked out a few teeth while working on 4500 TV episodes and 310 feature films.

Needham, a native of Tennessee, broke into show business as a stunt double for Richard Boone on the series “Have Gun, Will Travel.” Among the hundreds of films on which he did stunts were “Stagecoach,” “How the West Was Won,” “The Bridge at Remagen,” “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” and “Little Big Man.”

He developed numerous camera and production innovations, and won a Scientific and Engineering Oscar in 1987 for the design and development of the Shotmaker Elite camera car and crane. Among his other inventions were the air ram, air bag, car cannon turnover, nitrogen ratchet, jerk-off ratchet and rocket power.
