Did they died together all the three at the same place? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 No. It's just a coincidence. It's rare that three famous people (famous in the UK, at least), died on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Became a fan of Clive James when I was younger. Watched his talk show with my dad ("And now, Margarita Pracatan!"), remember his programme in Hong Kong in '97 and loved the man's wit. When I was at uni I saw him sat on the steps of a church near BBC Broadcasting House alone and was thinking of going to him to say how much I admired him and get an autograph. Felt it best to leave him alone and then read in a book years later how he didn't mind people stopping him as such...still regret not going up to him. He'll be missed this side of the UK.

Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 James' book of poems SENTENCED TO LIFE is very good. I'll miss his dry wit. The caricature of James, on SPITTING IMAGE, is funny. Sir Hilary Bray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 RIP Danny Aiello, the great character actor He's hilarious and perfect in a small but memorable role in Radio Days, one of my favorite movies. He plays a gangster who is supposed to kill Mia Farrow because she witnessed a murder, but instead ends up giving her her big break in radio because they discover they grew up in the same neighborhood. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/13/movies/danny-aiello-dead.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
