A real shame, he played some great characters - his Zack Allen in B5 was terrific. So many of that cast gone so young.

Holy crap, that is a shock.

Now Jeff Conaway passed away, 60... so young :-(

Janet(Margaret Thatcher)Brown. A staple of 70's and 80's impression shows.

Just read that about Janet Brown - didn't know she was 87, mind. Didn't realise she was that old!

strontium71 · 27 May, 2011, 10:40:33 PM

I know. I didn't either. That puts her in her mid fifties back when we used to watch her.Probably on Blankety Blank or something.

Janet Brown's a shame.

More saddened by the passing of Leonora Carrington, the last of the real surrealists. What a life.

Bless all.

Suzanne Mizzi was a right pretty thing.

Sad about Jeff Conaway. Wasn't a huge Babylon 5 fan, but he did pull a knife on Noel Gallagher once and later lamented that it was only because he didn't have an axe with him.
Also played a character that lent his name to sadly missed - by me, anyway - pop-punkers Kenickie.

The whole knife/Gallagher thing moves him up a few notches in my book

Wow. Thanks for posting that. That was some life. I especially liked this bit....
"The Carringtons, anxious about their daughter's wanderings across war-torn Europe, took the exotic step of sending her nanny to Spain in a submarine."

Ahh crap. Gil Scott-Heron at the age of 62. Finally lost the battle with his personal demons it would seem. Gutted.

Just heard about GSH. I first came across him at Glastonbury in 1986, hadn't heard of him before but he blew us all away. Sample here
