Remember him well from Game For A Laugh and the hilariously bad Going For Gold.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Dawn in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, has died aged 39.
From other reports, it sounds like she had been battling liver disease. Tragically young.
He made the BBC.
Ah, damn. One of true greats, amazing actor. Still, at least he lived a long and fulfilled life. Rest in peace.
Gene Hackman has died.
Thatās not unexpected at his age, but his wife was found dead with him. Police donāt suspect foul play.
Yeah, him, his wife, and their dog. No foul play suspected, suggests to me a gas leak of some sort. Very sad for the surviving family to lose the whole group in one day
RIP to all who passed away in the last few days
Didnāt realise Gene Hackman is already 95. RIP
Itās possibly a thing with actors that you always picture them as the age they were when you see them in films. I was surprised to find out that Michael Caine is 91.
He is, but not a lot of people know that.
Yeah, I saw a picture of Gene Hackman a couple of months ago as he looked then on one those articles asking readers to guess who he was. I didnt recognise him, forgetting how old he actually was.
Very strange for the wife and dog to die too. If foul play ruled out, sounds like a gas leak, carbon monoxide or something. Sad business.
Never liked losing and could get quite sulky if he got a question wrong but now he has the answer to the one question everyone has asked since the dawn of time.
Rest in Peace. A truly lovely man.
I think most of us would have grown up with Pats Hat and Pats Chat.
RIP
Another talented one gone!
RIP Angie Stone.

Bought a couple of his poetry books from him when he used to sell them on Grafton St back in the day. Seemed like a nice guy, had his demons of course.
We will have all seen the works of this guy. Started out as a coal mining engineer at 16yrs of age in Scotland, then took up painting as a hobby when he was still only a young 21yr old.
One reason I followed his story with interest, was when he said some of paintings were lifted from lines in a song he liked. Amongst other, Leonard Cohen song titles were copied onto his paintings.
Anyway, RIP to Jack Vettriano aged 73yrs youngā¦
whose works brought colour and imagery to the dark world we find ourselves in.
Take This Waltz.
