RIP James Earl Jones.

What a distinctive voice!
He played the bad guy in Conan the Barbarian I think, which was omitted from most of the lists of things he's been credited with today.
 
RIP Ed McLachlan, my favourite cartoonist. There's a selection of his catoons in this week's Private Eye.
 
RIP Timothy West, very distinctive actor.

Had a good innings, 90 years of age.
Married to Prunella Scales for 61 years.

RIP Timothy West.

Not my cup of tea politically, but one of the outstanding actors of his generation. Husband of Pru Scales.

He died today, aged 90.

Just read of the passing of David Lynch, film director. Genius

Being a bit of a sci-fi geek I greatly enjoyed his movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.
The extended version is still the most visually stunning adaptation I have seen, even 40 years on.

He was a true one-off, who has made the World a culturally richer place.
