Willy Wonka gone to the chocolate factory in the sky

When and you are the kid:



Wet and hysterical:

He'll always be Leo Bloom to me. The Producers is such a great film.

RIP.

So you've got a name for when someone dies on the same day as someone else, and isn't remembered, and the name you've got is of someone who died on a different day, and is remembered. At least I remember.

I think Farrah Fawcett is more accurate in this regard.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Very sad. Saw him in something or other at the Theatre Royal, many years ago. Can't remember what play although may have been something by Neil Simon, possibly to do with advertising? But that's by the by. I remember him best for one of my first hilarious fims, Silver Streak.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Fantastically good actor, totally killed it in one of my favourite ever movies, Blazing Saddles, he will reign up there with the best.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Have to say, I thought he'd gone a couple of years back - he's not been looking too well for a while. A lovely man, though, RIP.
