    Yes, a bit of a sad way to go, 22 years of suffering

    As it happens I've recently been watching her in two old TV shows where she had occasional recurring comic relief roles "It Takes A Thief" and "McCloud"

    Look in the dictionary under "cute" and there's probably a picture of her

    Quincy Jones died at the tender age of 91. His musical achievements are too many to list, so for this movie-oriented board I'll just mention that he (every now and then) wrote some terrific scores for major motion pictures, like Edward Dmytryk's Mirage, Norman Jewison's In the Heat of the Night, Sam Peckinpah's Getaway, Steven Spielberg's original The Color Purple, and the original The Italian Job (list is nowhere near complete). A great musician and a great man.

    To say Quincy Jones is a legend is an understatement, Quincy is one of the all time greats. R.I.P.


    Whether a fan or not the production on this album is perfection by Quincy Jones, I don't think anything will ever out sell this album. (This arguably is the greatest music video of all time).

    I am going to listen to the whole album, it is a masterpiece.

    RIP Quincy Jones. The work he did with Michael Jackson is truly extraordinary, and we’re never going to see anything like it ever again.

    I m a huge fan of Off The Wall great album.

    Michael Jackson - Sunset Driver (Extended Disco Mix) | Off The Wall 35th Anniversary

    It is crazy this track did not make the album, Quincy was a genius.

    I must say that I never warmed up to Michael Jackson, and in fact do not own a single album of his. But it definitely is not due to Quincy Jones' production and arrangement work on Jackson's albums, to the extent I know them.

    Very sad to hear of the death of Quincy Jones. As Jermaine Jackson once said "Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, that's a winning hand." I enjoyed Jones's work as producer on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad albums. He's definitely one of the people behind the scenes who helped Michael Jackson achieve superstardom.

    Just learned that mangaka Kazuo Umezu, nicknamed "The God of Horror" for works such as The Drifting Classroom and Cat Eyed Boy, has passed away, aged 88.

    And as a tribute to the great Quincy Jones, here's one of his most famous themes :

    Yes, thats a great theme tune

    I also liked his theme for the original "The Bill Cosby Show" back in the 1970s

    Quincy Jones did a great score to one of my favourite comedy/heist movies, 'The Hot Rock'

    French actress Geneviève Grad, who had quite a few important roles in the sixties, most notably playing the daughter of Louis de Funes in Le Gendarme de Saint Tropez, has passed away, aged 80 :

    That's a shame, I'm about to start playing Spider-Man 2 with him in it.

    RIP Tony Todd. The classic Candyman film would never have been the same without him. Talented character actor!

    No way I was just watching an interview with Tony Todd talking about Star Trek, great actor, R.I.P.

    In honor of Veteran's Day, thank you to all who have served, and lost their lives to protect others.

    Also, 25 years ago today, we lost an extremely talented (and generally nice person) to suicide. Mary Kay Bergman took her own life, due to having bad thoughts about herself. Namely, feeling that she was losing her talent. That couldn't have been more false, she was just getting started. She is missed in more ways than one. For me, she'll always be the best South Park voice actress. But her career goes way beyond South Park. If you have those dark thoughts, please know that there is help, even here. No one should have to feel alone, in particular veterans.

    For me Tony Todd will always be the African warlord General Juma in season 7 of “24”.

    RIP Tony Todd, I remember him as the protagonist of the more than decent Night of the Living Dead remake.

    Sad to hear of the death of the British actor Timothy West, aged 90. He was unforgettable as the beekeeper in the Tales of the Unexpected episode "Royal Jelly" (1980).

    I was sad to hear of the death of Lord Prescott, aged 86. He was the UK's longest serving Deputy Prime Minister for 10 years between 1997 and 2007. Whatever one's political persuasion he was a certainly colourful character during the New Labour years. Who could forget the infamous egg throwing incident during the otherwise deathly dull 2001 UK General Election campaign?

    Some of the greatest ever comedy's, I recently watched the first The Naked Gun and Airplane they are timeless. R.I.P. Jim Abrahams.

    I will have to dust off my Police Squad DVD.

    He also wrote The Kentucky Fried Movie I remember renting that on Beta Max a very long time ago, been a while since I watched it.

    The Kentucky Fried Movie Fistful Of Yen Alarm Guy

    I watched some other clips from the film which i won't post here, there is no way they would get away with some of those jokes today.

    It's always especially sad when someone dies who truly kept you laughing constantly when watching his works. RIP Jim Abrahams. (PS: Good to know that Mel Brooks is still around at 98 years...)

    I think 'Top Secret' is very overlooked when talking about his career! It's an absolute hoot, some inspired visual gags! ( Love the cattle wearing Wellington boots!)
