Hugh Keays-Byrne died. Immortan Joe in Mad Max Fury Road and Toecutter in original Mad Max.

Mad Max has been a favourite of mine for years. This has actually made me quite sad. 

[Monkeyboy]

Great as a cop in The Man From Hong Kong as well.

 

 

RIP.

Just tried hitting upvote looking for the sympathy option. Man. That hit me in a weird way.

Well 2020 just continues to suck balls.  First Darth Vader & now the original Boba Fett.

 

RIP Jeremy Bulloch.

Peter Lamont. Not an actor, but a production designer and related fields. Among his work are Aliens, Titanic and Bond from Goldfinger to Casino Royale, except Tomorrow Never Dies (he was away earning his Oscar for Titanic when that was made).

Dawn Wells, who starred as “good girl” Mary Ann in popular 1960s sitcom “Gilligan’s Island,” died Wednesday of causes related to COVID-19 in Los Angeles. She was 82.

 

I'm showing my age here, Gilligan's Island was still shown regularly in the 70's / 80's.

Terrible news and 65 is no age at all.  
 

She played a massive part in my growing childhood understanding that ladies might be different to men, in films such as Beastmaster and Sheena Queen Of The Jungle.

 

RIP.

TMZ are sleazy but reliable, right? Because they’re reporting she’s still alive.

Looks like she only lived twice, or died another day. Take your pick.

I remember when I was researching to write about the movies. She was the reason that Bubba Smith didn't appear in the last one (IIRC). She'd fallen on hard times so he asked the producers if they could bring her back, as the fans had always liked her. When they said, Smith dropped out of the production.
