Oh man! Borgnine was a great actor, memorable in so many things. And he kept going for quite a long time there.

Two favorite roles...

He was a very eerie ghost in the TV movie "The Ghost of Flight 401"...

And wonderful as Cabbie in "Escape from New York."

Joe Kubert.

Quote:
Joe Kubert, a titan among comic-book artists whose work stretched from the Golden Age of the superhero to the gritty realism of the graphic novel, died on Sunday in Morristown, N.J.

He was 85.

“He’s the longest-lived continuously important contributor to the field,” Paul Levitz, a former president of DC Comics, said in an interview on Monday. “There are two or three of the greats left, but he’s definitely one of the last.”

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.

Confirmed.

Quote:
Some shocking and tragic news emerged from California on Sunday: veteran film director Tony Scott died by apparent suicide at the age of 68.

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.

It's really a shame that Tony Scott couldn't get help.

Very sad about Tony Scott

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/...ndom-trek2.jpg

Quote:
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.
