Re: Passages
When I was in Bulgaria last year, Aznavour sold out a stadium in nearby Belgrade, Serbia. Not bad for a nonagenarian Aznavourian.
Was just (re-)watching Egoyan's Ararat last night and Aznavour has a small recurring part which the film partly revolves around. I find it a frustrating film, which I'll finish tonight, but Aznavour has a presence and is very sympathetic.

Re: Passages
Very sad. Vinton's work was ubiquitous in my childhood, from the California Raisins and Domino's Noid (that thing used to freak me out) to his horrifying visual effects in Return to Oz. I had no idea he was behind the CGI M&M's commercials.

Ray Galton who, with his close friend and longterm writing partner Alan Simpson (who died early last year), made an incalculable contribution to British comedy.
(Even if they’d only written either Hancock’s Half Hour or Steptoe and Son they’d be giants, but creating both ranks them very high indeed amongst the most important contributors to the early evolution of the British sitcom. Indeed, in many ways they laid down ground rules that are still being scrupulously followed today.)

I loved his Justified guest spot, especially the wobbly old guy race at the airport between his character and Art.

Actress Celeste Yarnall, perhaps best remembered for her roles on television (including Star Trek and Bonanza) and in such films as Eve, The Velvet Vampire, and Live a Little, Love a Little. I always liked her.

EDIT: In the west, she is probably most famous for playing many mother/grandmother roles in Hirokazu Kore-eda's films.

I did a double take on this because I thought he was already dead, and he was indeed already dead - died back in 2000.

Oh sorry, my mistake. I had been wondering when I saw that report why I'd not read anything by him recently!

Re: Passages
James Karen
His performance in Return of the Living Dead is both flat out hilarious and, in the end, sad. I had forgotten about his Beckett connection until watching Film for the first time earlier this year. Also loved his brief role as Naomi Watts's warm, supportive agent in Mulholland Drive

Re: Passages
He's great as part of the trio of bumbling mortuary technicians in Return of the Living Dead, which is perhaps the only film in which people screaming at each other in escalating levels of panic sets the tone even more than the zombies do! (He's also in a memorable role in Tobe Hooper's remake of Invaders From Mars, another film that calls for larger than life feats of acting, as a rather gung ho military general!)
