    RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

    I have always been a proud Brit, the biggest inspiration was and still is because of this incredible lady.

    God Bless you Ma,am!

    She was one of the better villains in ALL of Star Trek IMO. She just knew how to play a character in a way that made you love to hate her.

    She truly deserved her Oscar for Nurse Ratched. Truly one of the best villain performances ever. She will be missed.

    R.I.P. Louise Fletcher.
    Yes, Nurse Ratched is one of the most memorable screen villains in cinema!

    I remember seeing Cuckoo’s Nest (which I didn’t really care for anyway) and kept wondering why Nurse Ratched is considered an iconic villain. I’m not even sure I could call her a villain. Just a steely nurse without much heart I suppose. But nothing about her performance really wowed me. So I guess I’m always confused by her adulation. Hans Gruber is a great villain. I get that. But her? Meh…

    Villains dont always have to have guns!
    I think Fletcher is brilliant throughout, but I think her manipulation of Billy is the standout, driving him to that fatal conclusion, which really denotes her a very nasty villain!
    ( I did like Hans Gruber, but i think Rickman was a bit too theatrical in places)

    R.I.P. Louise Fletcher, Louise played a great villain. Louise also appeared in one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen, it was made by John Boorman which for even him reached new levels of the absurd.

    I am a fan of the film just for its outlandishness, I have the trilogy boxset on DVD somewhere.

    I love this song, especially the chorus. One could transfer the song to an orchestra and I'm sure it would sound great.

    RIP Coolio.

    He was also in Batman & Robin (1997). He’s a biker that Batgirl races with. Apparently, Joel Schumacher wanted him to play The Scarecrow in Batman Unchained. It didn’t happen. RIP to Coolio.

    Native American activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who was blacklisted by Hollywood after refusing the Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando, has passed away, aged 75.

    It's just shocking, I've just previously searched her on Google, and was happy that she's still alive.
    I mean she worked with Roger Moore (was it Ivanhoe or Beau Maverick? If my memory serves, It's Beau Maverick) and was one of the oldest celebrities living in Hollywood, she's a legend.

    I'm so shocked right now and a bit sad.

    It's unexpected, she's still glorious and active in her last days.

    I didn't expect that, I expected her to live a bit longer.

    One of the remaining (living) memories and relics of Golden Era/Classic Hollywood has now gone.

    RIP, Ms. Littlefeather your legacy will always remain.

    That's sad news. Am I correct in remembering that Roger Moore was present on that occasion (with someone else) and called out the winner of the Oscar when Marlon Brando had sent Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse the Oscar on his behalf? I believe this was a political move on the part of Brando to highlight the plight of Native Americans. A noble move and I'm sad (though not overly surprised) to read above how she was blacklisted by Hollywood as a result.
