    For more information on Jill Bennett, see the Wikipedia entry on her husband, the playwright John Osborne. But brace yourself...

    I made a thread years ago called something like 'The suicides of FYEO' but I don't think I can find it now.

    I think Michael Gothard made one of the most underrated villains of the series. It’s the fact that he looks so normal which makes him so threatening.

    On a sidenote, I think his character was meant to be Belgian since he was described as being from the Brussels underworld and having a record in the Namur prison. That makes Locque one of the few connections to my country in the entire franchise.

    Sad isn't it? You're right though, and I'm not too proud of Patrick Bauchau in AVTAK.

    I don’t think Bauchau did a bad job, he just wasn’t given a lot to do.
    He fairs a lot better in Argento’s Phenomena (also with Donald Pleasance).

    Anyway, time for Bond to come to Brussels or Bruges I’d say ;)

    There was also the stuntman who got killed. The film was cursed.

    So much death and sadness surrounding such an incredibly fun installment, and I never knew about any of these. Damn.

    Suicides is very sad but not really a curse per se.....you could make a case for the stuntman though as that was an accident.

    Bruce and Brandon Lee on the other hand......dunno about curse but certainly unlucky :(

    Maybe it was in the old forum, KTBEU, Barry? I had a look through all of your topics on this new forum of MI6 and I can't see this one either sadly.

    I have known about these suicides for many years. Can't recall exactly how I found out about them, but there it is.

    Very sad news about the shocking early death of the lovely Emma Chambers at just 53 (from natural causes). I saw her in a repeat of the first Christmas Special of The Vicar of Dibley just this last Christmas Eve and was reminded of her great comic talent.

    One of her best scenes of Emma's that my brother brings up from time to time:

    Just saw this on Facebook. Three time Bond director Lewis Gilbert has sadly passed away.
    Sad news indeed, The Spy Who Loved Me being my introduction to Bond, and a genuine Bond classic.
    Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the world of James Bond, rest in peace Mr.Gilbert.

    Very sad news about Lewis Gilbert passing away, though at least he had a good innings.

    He directed three of the biggest and most outlandish Bond films and they are the ones that the public consciousness most associated with James Bond. That will assure his legacy in the history of the Bond films.
