95 though - that's a good old crack at it.

Love how he just left that hanging, then went for a surf

I was just reading an obituary for Bob Duvall and there was no mention of him starring alongside Ally McCoist in A Shot at Glory.

A lot of it was filmed at Boghead. Surely his career highlight

He also produced it

I honestly thought Robert Duvall had died years ago.

I was sure it was not long after the football film mentioned above.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson is away at 84.

[Bukta Bertie]

It's Different for Girls was a sublime track.

Even after all those years I'm pretty sure I could sing along and remember every word. 

 

JJ RIP

I think it was just his reputation that died after that film.

Jesse Jackson gone at 84.

A lot of great work for not much real progress (and more recently, the gradual undoing of any progress that might have been made )

Edit: Just saw Swaddons earlier post

I dug it out and had another listen anyway. Joyous.

Rob Grant, co creator of Red Dwarf has died aged 70. 

[swaddon]

Neil Sedaka has died at 86.

[Bukta Bertie]

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A great loss to the mad, mad world of dictators.

He shall always be remembered with a deep fondness and the cowardly dogs who slew him from afar as if they were playing a TV game shall burn for eternity. Insha'Allah.

I had actually never seen that film but found it on YouTube the day he died and watched it.

Another nonce bites the dust. John Alford, formerly of Grange Hill and London's Burning, has been found dead in his cell at HMP Bure.

Chuck Norris aged 86

Ex Arsenal & Austrian International goalkeeper, Alex Manninger dead at 48

His car allegedly hit by a train 

Sounds horrific

[TheDonbytheDee]

Ex Radio One DJ Andy Kershaw away, aged just 66.

Used to listen to his shows when I was younger. Read his autobiography. His time as a Leeds student was a good one for the Leeds music scene, but not so good for his academic career.

Forever guaranteed his place in music history for being a presenter at Live Aid
