I thought Hardy Kruger was dead already.
As for Gaspard Ulliel, sad, sad death, he was one of the best actors of his (much too young to die) generation.

Sally Kellerman, who played Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the original M*A*S*H movie, passed away today. She was 84.

Ironically, she's only five months older than Loretta Swit, who played the same character on TV for many years.
