Heard about Postelthwait on the radio at work today. I think the first film I saw him in was Brassed-Off. Immediately captivating.

Swedish actor Per Oscarsson feared dead in house fire
Fears are growing for award-winning Swedish actor Per Oscarsson and his wife after human remains were found in his house, which burnt down on Friday. The remains of one person found in the ashes are likely to be either that of the 83-year-old star or his 67-year-old wife, Kia Ostling, police said. Both have been missing since the fire in south-western Sweden on Friday. Oscarsson won best actor at Cannes in 1966 and has appeared in films based on Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. The house, in a remote area outside the small town of Skara, was completely destroyed, with only the chimney left when firefighters arrived at the scene. Tributes have already begun to flood in for Oscarsson, who had appeared in more than 100 Swedish films and TV series. In 1966, he was awarded Best Actor at the Cannes film festival for his lead role in Henning Carlsen's Hunger, an adaptation of the novel by Norwegian Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun. He also appeared in the Swedish film, The Girl Who Played With Fire, based on Larsson's popular book. He played Holger Palmgren, the legal guardian to the heroine, Lisbeth Salander. |

Actress Susannah York dies at 72
British actress Susannah York has died at the age of 72 after suffering from cancer, her son has said. She appeared in film, TV and theatre during a career which began in the 1960s. She was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and won a Bafta for the same role. Her son Orlando Wells told the Telegraph newspaper that she was "an absolutely fantastic mother". "She loved nothing more than cooking a good Sunday roast and sitting around a fire of a winter's evening. In some sense, she was quite a home girl. Both Sasha [Orlando's sister] and I feel incredibly lucky to have her as a mother.'' York graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1958, winning the Ronson Award for most promising student. Directed by Sydney Pollack, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? followed the contestants in a gruelling dance marathon and also starred Jane Fonda. Susannah York received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? York was apparently angry at having been nominated for the Oscar without being asked, but did attend the ceremony. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Alice. News editor at Empire Magazine, Chris Hewitt, said she "came to fame" in Tom Jones, opposite Albert Finney, in 1963, and was "amazing" in The Killing of Sister George in 1968. Outside her professional work, she was a supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and Mordechai Vanunu, the technician imprisoned for 18 years for revealing Israel's secret nuclear programme. |
spent many nights watching Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.
Don Kirshner, legendary American music publisher, died Monday in Boca Raton, Florida of heart failure. He was 77. Time magazine once dubbed him “The man with the golden ear.” A renowned song publisher and rock producer, Kirshner is best known for managing the songwriting talent behind the successful pop music television series The Monkees and later The Archies, and also for his signature television program Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. He achieved his first major success in the late 1950s and early 1960s as co-owner of the influential New York-based publishing company Aldon Music with Al Nevin -- they had several of the most important songwriters of the so-called "Brill Building'" under contract including Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Howard Greenfield, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. As a producer-promoter, Kirshner was influential in starting the career of artists such as Bobby Darin, Neil Diamond and Tony Orlando as well as discovering rock acts such as Kansas. In September 1973, Kirshner created, produced, and eventually hosted his own syndicated weekly rock-concert program called Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. He was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in 2007. |

Actress Tura Satana died yesterday in Reno, Nev., according to the New York Times. Satana appeared in numerous movies and TV shows, including Billy Wilder’s 1963 film Irma la Douce. The colorful and curvaceous actress also worked as an exotic dancer and once turned down a proposal of marriage from Elvis Presley. But it was her role as the sexy, violent Varla in Russ Meyer’s 1965 film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! which would ultimately turn her into a cult icon as, over time, the movie acquired an army of diehard fans. John Waters once described the film as ”the best movie ever made, and possibly better than any movie that will ever be made.” “A woman, like my character, was able to show the male species that we’re not helpless and not entirely dependent on them,” Satana said of Varla, in 2008. “People picked up on the fact that women could be gorgeous and sexy and still kick ass.” |
Damn... RIP, Satana....

Legendary Northern Irish blues rock guitarist Gary Moore has unfortunately passed away. The former Thin Lizzy guitarist reportedly died in his sleep while on holiday in Spain in the early hours of this morning. He was 58 years old. Moore made a name for himself in the rock world after performing in a band named Skid Row in the late 1960s and released his first solo album in 1973, before joining Thin Lizzy for periods of time and collaborating with such other legendary artists as Ozzy Osbourne, B.B. King and George Harrison. |
