Figured it was time to have a place where we can honor those actors, actresses and the many people behind the camera that haved passed away.

Hey Flora. This worked pretty well. I was able to quickly put together a tribute to her career even in a day that was incredibly busy. She got her best movies mentioned and she got a Dan trivia list. I think all of these things help honor a very good actress that left a nice legacy of movies. Rest In Peace Shirley Knight.
Brian Dennehy has died of natural causes at 81, not COVID related. I knew him best from Cocoon
Hey Flora….thanks for sharing this sad information. I went ahead and put together an UMR page on him….41 movies….with one of his first being Foul Play…a movie I loved as a kid. Rest in Peace Mr. Dennehy.
aaaah sad news, I watched Silverado again a few weeks ago. And Cocoon is one of my favorite sci-fi films. RIP Brian Dennehy.
Hey Steve. Silverado is a great western. It is one of the few roles I really like Kevin Costner in. What a cast.Good westerns are hard to find. Rest in peace.
This is a good idea, Bruce. Thanks for creating this page.
Hey Flora. I was thinking I needed to do a page like this a very long time ago. I was trying to figure out a way were the readers could actually write on the page, doesn’t look like that is currently possible. So I had to do it this way, so even though this isn’t the way I wanted to do it it’s a better solution than the previous one. Every time Sean Connery got a comment, i was afraid it was about his passing.
Honor Blackman has died at 94 of natural causes. She played Pussy Galore in Goldfinger and was the original leading lady in the TV series The Avengers.
Hey Flora. Rest in peace Honor Blackman. Seems like a lot of Bond girls have passed recently….but Honor Blackman was easily the most famous of the Connery Bond girls. RIP
Bruce, this page was a good idea.
RIP Pussy Galore.
I’ll be watching all the Bond films again in the summer
Hey Steve. Hopefully I will not have to update this page very often, sadly I think the reality of life will keep this page pretty busy. Rest in peace Brian and Honor.
Allen Garfield, a character actor who is # 510 on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list has passed away at the age of 80 from the coronavirus.
Hey Dan….he was a very good character…I am shocked that he had not made a movie in almost 20 years. Rest in Peace Mr. Allen Garfield.
