The Dead Thread

[The binman chronicles]

Yeah i know, 86, he also has a small roll interviewing Mia Fartow in Rosemary's Baby, most of his films seem to be comedy so I dont know too many more, which is a shame.

I always remember the first film I saw him in The great muppet caper. He played it as he should, hammed up, but still good.

RIP Charles Grodin

Midnight Run, such a great film, wonderful actor

Charles Grodin, star of Midnight Run and Beethoven, dies at 86

The actor and writer, known for his work on stage and screen, has died of bone marrow cancer

www.theguardian.com

He was very subtle in that film. De Niro's bail hunter was driven to distraction! Grodin was a very good film actor but you couldn't take your eyes off De Niro and his mental processes.

Im shocked he was that old!! I did enjoy him in Beethoven!!

Just found out one of my favourite band's singer passed away in January

Mark Keds - lead singer of Senseless Things. Also the excellent Deadcuts and The Wildhearts.

Loved Senseless Things as a teenager and saw them live many times in Dublin in the late 80's early 90's.

RIP Keds

Max Mosley.

Knew how to throw a party that fella.

In court “Mosley maintains the gathering was a private "party" for himself and five like-minded, consenting women, and there was no public interest in reporting it”

Ron Hill, marathon runner passed away over the weekend aged 82. One of the earliest distance runners I can remember and probably him that got me into distance running. Great athlete. RIP.
