    :confused: There's nothing "less" famous about Doris Day. Even people who've never seen a single film of hers will know her name.

    Depends on generation... for someone born in 21st century I doubt either her films or persona are on their radar.

    It’s also good to post here anyway as some people (like me) might not always check the Forum main page. If interested in the person who died we can then review the specific thread.

    Aww. :(

    One of my favourite sci-fi characters.

    Watched all of 'Blake's 7' a few years ago when I had a dose of the flu. It's still a good show, even if it's laughable in many areas nowadays.

    Such a gloomy series over all, with a brilliant ending.

    Clicking on this thread, I was struck suddenly by the vivid memory of watching in bemusement as my dad tuned the radio for the death notices. I must be getting old.

    I've thought the same thing myself. It is a strangely morbid interest.

    Right, Olivia De Havilland really must be last woman standing now (although Miles was never one of the classic Hollywood actors as she only hit the silver screen seriously in middle age)

    He got to 88 though, that is genuinely impressive given his tendency to rowdy shenanigans. Always gave great performances, even in not-so-great films :)
