McGavin was also in Raw Deal, which has my all time favourite Arnholt quote in.

Octavia Butler was a NW local. I've never actually read any of her stuff though.

I reckon Kolchak was done in by vampires. You can't prove it's not true!

Not if you're Kolchak - poor stiff never got the scoop.

You've missed a prime opportunity for a McCloud pun there, RAC.

Thats really sad about Denis Weaver. Always had a soft spot for him that stems form my youth, when my dad christened the local nutjob who used to go around dressed as a cowboy( 6 guns and all) "Mc Cloud".

He was great in Duel.

A couple more names to add to this thread - Lou Gish died last week. She's probably most known for playing Jeffs boss/girlfriend in half a dozen episodes of Coupling. Linda Smith the 'nice' comedian from practically any Radio 4 comedy show died yesterday. Both from Cancer.
