[Trooper McFad]

His Titus was superb in Rome and I thought made the series- sad news 🙁

Rolf Harris, convicted sex offender and entertainer aged 93

I was more saddened by the awful revelations about him than I am by this news. Jimmy Savile was always a bit creepy, but I used to love Rolf when I was a kid.

[Colin YNWA]

Rome was a GREAT show and Ray Stevenson as Pullo the best thing in a thing of great things.

With you all the way.  I was very disturbed when his true self was made public.

It did come as a bit of a surprise - unlike with Saville and Glitter.  I remember on a college trip to London two of the women on my course went to a bar (Glitter Bar?) and encountered him - they found him creepy, back in the early nineties.

That's how I remember her best. She was perfect for the role.

Also Aunty in Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome :-(

The woman wore a 55kg chainmail dress for the role.
That is dedication to showbusiness.

Rest in peace, Ms. Turner.

Nice piece in the Grauniad by George Miller about working with her on Thunderdome https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/25/tina-turner-remembered-by-mad-max-director-george-miller-she-was-the-opposite-of-a-diva

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

I only found out today that she sang on Frank Zappa's Overnite Sensation. That horrible, despicable cock wart Ike Turner basically rented her out for $25 a day and forbid her from having a credit on the album so she couldn't earn any royalties (read: financial independence).
