Haim Topol, 87, of Fiddler on the Roof fame .

Another sad one.

Mystic Meg. I am a sceptic... but many lasses that I know used to go for 'readings' from Fortune tellers.
Sad about Topol. Never watched movie but 'Sunrise, Sunset' Great song.

Fiddler on the Roof is one of our all time favourite films.

I remember him from Private Eye and for the Fosdyke Saga in the Mirror. Only thing in The Mirror worth reading, IMHO.

QuoteBill Tidy

Sad. (But I confess I thought he died some years ago).
Always loved 'The Cloggies: an Everyday Saga in the Life of Clog Dancing Folk.'

Dick Fosbury, the high jumper. I remember we were not allowed to try his technique at school after the Olympics, which was not surprising given we were landing in a sandpit!

Yes, I remember the same warning round our school. Not that I had any intention of trying it. I was playing prop at the time and I don't think I was quite the right shape for high jumping.
He hated the publicity he got from being a champion apparently.

I love the fact that it inspired this.

The funniest one in that lot is the parody of "To Life!"

Lance Reddick(1962-2023)

One of those actors who is never the star but who pops up in so many good productions .... and is often one of the best things in them.

Charon in the John Wick series, Irvin Irving in Bosch, Cedric Daniels in The Wire and the unmistakeable voice of Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn to mention but a few.

You beat me to it. I thought he was great in "Fringe"
