I didn't really know much from his WWE time, but the way it happened (he told the lifeguards to save his son first) seems touching, and sad.
Aww that's beat
Dame Vera Lynn.
See if you'd have asked me about her, I'd have said she probably died in around 1987.

Just two years before that, she was headlining a gig above Hawkwind

The best photo of Dame Vera Lynn is when she posed with Hawkwind after they joint headlined a 1980s anti-heroin gig. pic.twitter.com/N2PLBTcwo7

Aww, seriously? That's sad
Wow, 88? He was much older than I thought. I remember thinking he looked a bit doddery last time I saw him. Parkinson's apparently
Ash to ashes.
Aww. I am sad.
I'll always remember him as father Vito Cornelius.

Yes I know he did a lot of crap, but also some real gems.

Speed. Excellent film.
I have a real soft spot for Batman Forever.
It was obvious even then, but especially so with Batman & Robin, that Schumacher was being pressured into making a style of film that he really didn't want to make.

Surprised nobody's mentioned the passing of Margarita Pracatan yesterday. So I just did. Observe it. <---
I had forgotten that she existed and also didn't know that she'd died, or else I'd surely have said something. Even now I can't remember what she did, I can just hear Clive James saying her name.
Carl Reiner. (score)

Kelly Preston in Jerry Maguire was my kind of crazy. Strong memories
Last night I was very sad to learn that Bill Pearson died three months ago. He was a movie model maker who worked on all kinds of classics including Alien, Blake's 7, Flash Gordon, Moon - and, of course, Red Dwarf! (I'd just finished a Red Dwarf marathon and decided to have a look to see what he was up to now... )
