Frank Albanese, hopelessly pigeonholed into playing mafia gangsters and other mobsters in The Sopranos and Goodfellas, has died at 84:

How well-known are these stars of American Westerns tv-series of the 50s & 60s in Britain?

 

Robert Horton (Co-star of Wagon Train)

Hugh O'Brian (Star of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp)

Clint Walker (Star of Cheyenne)

Clu Gulager (Co-star of The Tall Man)

Ty Hardin (Star of Bronco)

Will Hutchins (Co-star of Sugarfoot)

 

I think O'Brian and possibly Clint Walker are "obitable".

Clint Walker and Ty Hardin are the names I recognise. I can remember some of these programmes being on, but was not of an age to be watching them.

Must say I was in a quandary to place this, but hey, we on this side of the pond would put him here.

Amidst the right-wing republican conservative rant on his website, Ty mentioned having "sign of old age and dementia" in 2009. http://tyhardin.net/TyHardinsMessageNew.htm

Quite possibly a movie in the offing SC, and the chances are that would suck..

Won't quote but I only know about 7 of those names.

 

And isn't that the greatest thing? I learnt quite a bit going through the names and quite a few of them are eminently and highly obitable! And look at some of those birth dates! Bill Butler for example will certainly obit here for his opus.

I suppose in some ways the big names have already gone Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Patrick Troughton, Leo McKern & Billie Whitelaw.

The mysterious "doctors orders" means Kim Cattrall pulls out of theatre gig......

 

I'm sure I read somewhere about a year ago that she had been battling breast cancer, but I can't find the article again.

^^ charon do you mean The Awakening, the dreadful made for tv movie? Repossessed was about The Exorcist?

 

Edit: Just checked IMDB for the fourth film, everyone's alive apart from Don S Davis and David Cameron (the actor, not the PM). No doubt they'll start falling like flies now! If there's someone who does pass on and they have a credit in the fourth film, please mention it, even if it's not their finest hour.

Robert Loggia

The Oscar nominated actor who appeared in such films as Independence Day,Big,Scarface etc. is dead at 85

 

In addition to his lengthy resume as a charecter actor he also was very popular with the preteen set for some reason as evidence by this commercial
