The beautiful actress Anita Ekberg. The scene in which she dances in the Trevi fountain will always be one the most iconic in European cinema.

Brian Clemens, writer of so much of my childhood entertainment - The Avengers (original and New), the Professionals, a handful of Hammer films, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad - the list is endless.

Huge fan of is work, especially the Avengers and one of my favourite Hammer films (and inspiration for my Jikan comic strip), Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter. RIP

... and, erm, Highlander II: The Quickening. But we'll forgive that.

The man was a legend.

Just realise Taylor Negron just passed away last weekend, he was comedy actor featured in many films and TV,

but to me he was the classic villain of The Last Boy Scout.

Brian Clemens was one of those writers who were so prolific that their names appeared everywhere during the 60's/70's/80's. A great screenwriter sadly missed.

That's sad news for sci-fi geeks around the world... And beyond!

2000 Nigerian civilians massacred by Boko Haram. Sad, sad day for the world in general.

Robert Kinoshita.

You won't know him by name but you can't have missed his work.

Aw that's sad Forbidden Planet was one of those films I grew up on. A classic movie. Z

Only just learned of the passing of Origa. And I'm absolutely miserable as a result.

Origa was best known for her vocal work on the songs 'Inner Universe' and 'Rise', which served as the front ends to the popular anime series 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex'. She reportedly passed away as a result of lung cancer at the age of 44.

Never mind the association with one of the greatest animated TV shows of all time - she was one of the most amazing vocalists I've ever heard.

Such an utterly awful, awful loss.

Hawkmumbler · 19 January, 2015, 06:14:36 PM

Blimey, Origa's additions to the GitS OST's where vital in setting up the tone for those great series. 44 is no age to go out for such a strong talent.
