Though I did not share his views particularly, he was certainly a brilliant author, of which there is no shadow of a doubt. He will be missed. |

I had absolutely no idea he was ill with cancer. I thoroughly enjoyed all of his books and those films derived from his books. As KexMex said, he will be greatly missed.

Sci-Fi Japan has produced a very nice tribute to Mutsumi Toyoshima, considered one of Toho's best production designers from the 1960's-1980's. Mr. Toyoshima passed away on November 17.

Singer and actress Earth Kitt has died. She was 81. She passed away Thursday(12-25) of colon cancer. This beautiful and sultry woman enjoyed a career of music, theater and television that spanned decades. Admittedly I didn't follow her work very much but I can tell you she played an absolutely terrific "Catwoman" on the 1966 TV series Batman starring Adam West and Burt Ward. For more on her life and career, click the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28386832/ Here's a video clip and a nice tribute to her: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2224487507359823436&ei=NEtUSeOXGZKwqwK__fzuCw&q=Earth+Kitt |

Say goodbye to Ricardo Montalbán and Patrick McGoohan. Montalbán was 88. McGoohan was 80. Both were favorites of mine. I knew Montalbán best as Khan from Star Trek. Gonna miss him. But I will miss McGoohan more. His death was much more shocking to me. I'm a huge huge fan of this guy from The Prisoner and Ice Station Zebra. He was considered for the role of James Bond once, and I have no doubt he would have made a phenomenal James Bond.

![]() Here's a link regarding the passing of Ricardo Montalban: http://www.mercurynews.com/tv/ci_11452935 I always loved his performance in both the Star Trek episode "Space Seed" and again reprising the role of "Khan" in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. He was IMO the best at portraying a villain in any of the ST feature films. Though I didn't like the TV series Fantasy Island overall, I became interested in this ABC series(1978-1984) because of Ricardo Montalban's performance as "Mr. Roark". I am not very familiar with Patrick McGoohan's career but he was very good in Scanners(1981) and also in Ice Station Zebra(1968), these two films part of my DVD collection. I understand he had a long and distinguished career as an actor. Both will be greatly missed. |

I agree. I think he was the best Star Trek villain ever, and one of the best screen villains of all time. Haven't seen Scanners yet. Didn't know McGoohan was in it. |

Thanks. It's pretty famous, though. I've been wanting to see it for a while. NOTE: Just noticed that I misspelled Ricardo's name. Editing my original post to fix this now. |

Actor Bob May, who portrayed the robot in the 1960's CBS television series Lost In Space, has died. He was 69. The actor passed away in Lancaster(CA) from congestive heart failure. Bob May gained a cult following, and lasting fame by playing the robot on Lost In Space, the series running for three seasons, from 1965-1968 on CBS. May did not voice the robot, instead moving the robot(prop) around from inside it. The link: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=348339>1=28103

Yeah, I heard about this earlier today. Very sad. As you and others may know, I'm a big fan of the show. My avatar attests to that. Bob May's face isn't as familiar to me as the rest of the cast, but he was a huge part of bringing the Robot to life. So for that I am deeply grateful. Lost in Space was part of my childhood. And it saddens me whenever something I enjoyed from my childhood dies. So long Bob May. RIP. |

http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/schneer-obit/ Schneer and Harryhausen collaborated on several of my all-time favorite films like Mysterious Island, Jason and the Argonauts, the Sinbad trilogy, Clash of the Titans, and more. He will be missed. The men who made me love movies are slowly dying off, one by one. |

It's a fantastic movie, and one that I own on DVD. It was Schneer's favorite of the movies he did with Harryhausen. |

Long time Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist Billy Powell has died. He was 56. Powell died Wednesday(1-28) at his Florida home of a suspected heart attack: http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/61980759 Sad news. I grew up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Anyone interested in listening to Billy Powell on keyboards should listen to the Skynyrd song They Call Me The Breeze. This song will illustrate how great Billy Powell was on keyboards/piano. ![]() From 1976, and check out the piano riffs from this song: |

When I heard he had died, I didn't remember who he was. I looked him up on IMDB and recognized him from Shawshank Redemption. And I saw that he'd been in Planet of the Apes and an episode of The Invaders, a show I'm just getting into now. And then I saw Sgt. Ben Peterson from Them! That's where I really knew him from. I liked that character a lot in that movie. |

Actress Beatrice "Bea" Arthur, who starred in two highly successful comedy television series, Maude and The Golden Girls, has passed away today. She was 86. Bea Arthur died peacefully at home with family members by her side. She had been battling cancer at the time of her death. For more info on Bea Arthur's life and career click the link: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=405882>1=28103 I remember watching "Maude" on TV when I was a teenager. It was a very good show, driven by the sarcastic wit of Bea Arthur. The TV series "Maude" was a spinoff series of All In The Family. Watching Maude(played by Bea Arthur) engage in heated arguments with one Archie Bunker(played by Carroll O'Connor) was some of the funniest sequences I've ever seen on TV. She will be greatly missed.
