To quote the late great Joan Rivers: ”89, unexpected? More like 89, about god damn time!”

I'm dumping a mention of her because I'm shocked we haven't discussed her before. American-born British theatre critic and producer Blanche Marvin MBE (wiki) was looking great at her 99th birthday in January. Still, golden QO obit territory there. Would be good to see her making a DDP debut next year.

Mollie Lentaigne (wiki), British artist and celebrated Red Cross nurse during World War II, dead just shy of 104. A pick in several pools on here.

André Trigano (wiki), French businessman and politician, dead at 98. Mayor of Pamiers, a city in the south of France, from 1995 to 2020. He was 94 when he stood down and was a member of the French Resistance during World War II. Additionally, he was also a racing driver and collected classic cars, amounting a collection of 180 which he sold in 2020. This guy makes Hazel McCallion look boring by comparison!

Have you tried gin? I would thoroughly recommend.

That is 100% NOT Robert M. Knight the rock photographer. Post from his Instagram of him out with friends in March. The Robert M. Knight who died in November 2023 must just be a minor actor. I'll investigate Richard Lester and report back if I find anything. That would be a huge off radar death, though I know Lester always shunned his own industry and had barely been active since the 1990s.

This is the thread you're looking for if you wish to post rants about Donny T or Sleepy Joe that nobody else will read.

Other than Sir Ian Holm and Sir Christopher Lee I’m guessing nobody else from The Hobbit trilogy is dead?

Telegraph obit for Margaret Lee.

The final Lord of the Rings film was released over 20 years ago and the death of Bernard Hill today means that 3 of the principal cast are gone, with a further half a dozen supporting actors also dead: Noel Appleby (1933–2007) Everard Proudfoot Martyn Sanderson (1938–2009) Bree Gate-keeper Elizabeth Moody (1939–2010) Lobelia Sackville-Baggins Alan Howard CBE (1937–2015) The One Ring (voice) Sir Christopher Lee CBE (1922–2015) Saruman Bill Johnson (1924–2016) Old Noakes Alistair Browning (1954–2019) Damrod Sir Ian Holm CBE (1931–2020) Bilbo Baggins Bernard Hill (1944–2024) Théoden, King of Rohan Here are the living actors who are 70 or older: Norman Forsey (b. 1937) Gaffer Gamgee David Weatherley (b. 1939) Barliman Butterbur Sir Ian McKellen CBE (b. 1939) Gandalf John Rhys-Davies (b. 1944) Gimli Bruce Spence (b. 1945) Mouth of Sauron John Bach (b. 1946) Madril John Noble (b. 1948) Denethor, Steward of Gondor Brad Dourif (b. 1950) Gríma Wormtongue Bruce Phillips (b. 1951) Grimbold Paul Norell (b. 1952) King of the Dead Nathaniel Lees (b. 1952) Ugluk I'll add other big cast members (e.g. Sean Bean, Hugo Weaving, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett etc.) once they're old enough to merit any kind of attention. Not going to do lists for The Hobbit trilogy, the animated series, radio series, or any other spin offs but this topic can be used to report their deaths too.

Barbara Dickson is a big personality in the UK with a reputation to maintain. She would never have tweeted about his death if she hadn't been 100% sure.

Darius Morris (wiki) dead at 33.

The 1959 version of The Mummy is always available to watch for free if you have Amazon Prime. It’s also an awful movie. The 1930s version was far superior.

Why are you facepalming me? I’m just telling you all of this was mentioned very recently by another member, thus it doesn’t merit being repeated. Learn to use the search function. You’ve been here long enough to know better.

Hollywood Reporter obit for Edgar Lansbury. I’m sure someone else will update his page now. I can always take a look at it later. Right now though I’m having a movie marathon.
