Honor Blackman, Pussy Galore in Goldfinger and Cathy Gale in The Avengers pre-the Diana Rigg era. She also has an early role in A Night To Remember, and in the 70s a few notable horror roles including Fright and one of the final Hammers, To The Devil A Daughter.

Not to mention 80s sitcom, The Upper Hand, where she purred seductively as the grandmother of the family.colinr0380 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 12:14 pmHonor Blackman, Pussy Galore in Goldfinger and Cathy Gale in The Avengers pre-the Diana Rigg era.

Re: Passages
That Guardian obituary also reminded me of that Kinky Boots single that Blackman and Patrick Macnee did!

Re: Passages
'Night Music' was a blessing and a joy, maybe so much so that tangles of rightsholders have turned blind eyes to the few episodes allowed to stay up on YouTube. Should you feel wanting or worthy, check 'em out. You might see stuff like Sonic Youth and the Indigo Girls and Daniel Lanois and the Evan Lurie Quintet and David Sanborn and his house band shove together "Red River Valley" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog." Stuff like that.

Re: Passages
Steve Shelley posted a YouTube clip on social media and said Willner got Sonic Youth on national TV for the first time ever. I think Pere Ubu and the Pixies also made their national TV debuts via that show. I went to the Lou Reed tribute he put together years ago, and saw him introduce "Jazz '34" at MoMA, which I've already mentioned elsewhere here. Both were great, very sad he's gone.brundlefly wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 4:46 pm'Night Music' was a blessing and a joy, maybe so much so that tangles of rightsholders have turned blind eyes to the few episodes allowed to stay up on YouTube.

Re: Passages
As a native of Southeast Michigan (and one old enough to remember the last several years of his playing career), this one hurts more than most.
Between playing, broadcasting, and front office jobs he was with the Detroit Tigers for almost 67 years (first Major League game about a week after he graduated from high school). By all accounts, he was one of the most gracious and unassuming people around, much less first ballot Hall of Famers.

My favorite Night Music appearance was the great Mary Margaret O'Hara's
"And now, our next performer describes herself as an ancient baby whose cranium never fused together." (O'Hara nods shyly)

Re: Passages
This one cuts deep. I've always loved this acoustic rendition of "How Lucky" from the Colbert Report.

Re: Passages
Prine appears on a couple of cuts on the Swamp Dogg album that came out last month, and its commiserative final track, which coasts on the delight of those two people enjoying each other's company, has now been made a heartbreaker.

Re: Passages
Garfield was the highlight of a terrific episode of Sports Night as Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel.
On a sobering note, at the bottom of his Wikipedia page, Garfield is included among the 'Notable Deaths' of the '2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United States' category. Wikipedia Taxonomy is kind of fascinating, but imagine living a life and this is how it all shakes out.

Re: Passages
Seminal experimental filmmaker Bruce Baillie is apparently at the end and his family is trying to raise money to get him into hospice care, per the Frameworks listserv:
https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/pi ... 23534.html
Very sad to hear of someone so important to American film, who made films of such utter beauty, lying on the floor waiting to die.

Re: Passages
He certainly got a role of a lifetime with The Human Centipede! (Even if I prefer the second part of the series). One of his earliest roles was in Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta's 1975 film The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum.

Re: Passages
...of a very long bout with lung cancer, FWIW. he has an extensive filmography that, like most outside of Japan, I'm only lightly acquainted with. His Motorbike, Her Island is a pretty interesting film; everything is in a sort of stylistic and performative scare quotes, but it still works pretty well as a romantic melodrama. he got to make his dream project, Hanagatami, a few years ago—an epic about teenagers living through World War II. It's on my to-watch list.
