Phantom 2,467 Posted November 4, 2015 Its 20 years since Paul Eddington died from skin cancer, aged 68. That means it's 20 years since lost my virginity. I remember hearing about Paul Eddington's death the morning after far better than I remember the sex. I think Marti Caine died the same day. Also checking out on 4th November but different years were Wilfred Owen and Dominique Dunne. For a moment there I thought you had a celebratory bonk when you heard of Paul Eddington's death 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted November 5, 2015 Today in 1977 French comics editor and writer René Goscinny died at age 51. Presumably he's best known for his collaboration on Asterix, with Albert Uderzo, who is still infesting the world with new Asterix comics of no particular entertainment value.

rockhopper penguin 2,264 Posted November 10, 2015 Film producer Dino De Laurentiis died 5 years today aged 91. He was responsible for such understated cinematic outpourings as King Kong, Orca, Dune and Flash Gordon. But to be fair he did produce Blue Velvet which gave the world Dennis Hopper as oxygen mask breathing Frank Booth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
