Re: The Obituary Thread
Sad to see him go. What a legend. Some of my favourite films are because of the dramatic gravitas he brought to them. And then there was Flash Gordon

Honor Blackman, forever known for playing Pussy Galore opposite Sean Connery in Goldfinger, passed away on April 5 of NATURAL CAUSES. She was 94 years old.
Who could ever see Goldfinger and forget this scene?

Re: The Obituary Thread
Baseball legend Al Kaline died yesterday at 85. Cause of death isn't known yet.
Honor Blackman was also John Steed's first partner on The Avengers. Unfortunately, many of Blackman's episodes are lost due to the tapes getting wiped and reused.
