  RIP Eunice Gayson. The perfect first Bond girl. Couldn't imagine anyone else as Sylvia.

  
  If Lois Maxwell had accepted the role of Sylvia Trench, I wonder if Eunice Gayson would have been offered the role of Moneypenny? She would have been great at that as well.

  
  I think that was the plan, as I recall. Sylvia Trench was meant to star in more Bond films too, but this idea was dropped after FRWL.

  In recent times we have lost Sir Roger Moore, Lewis Gilbert, Molly Peters, Clifton James and now Eunice Gayson. As a result of this we have decided to open a new 'Rest In Peace' thread for Bond related deaths which will be in the Bond section. (it will be right with you).
  
  This thread will continue for any non- Bond related people you wish to pay respects to.

He was admitted to hospital in extreme critical condition, and was diagnosed with brain death soon after his arrival. His heart managed to keep beating until this morning. He was 14 years old.

  I must say I'm not a fan of accordion, and even less of "musette" style music, but one can't deny her popularity.

  Don't know either of them, don't care for today's genre of rap, but 20 is absolutely way too young to go. Sorry to hear about that, that's terrible.

  Damn, what a shame. Loved those videos of Koko and Robin together. They both seemed genuinely happy and content in one another's presence.

  Besides his vast science fiction work, Ellison could tackle other genres, including two episodes of The Man From UNCLE and a western, Cimarron Strip.
  
  Then, there was the time he reportedly got into a fight with an ABC executive, which resulted in the executive breaking a hip.

  Harlan Ellison was untamed.
