BANNED!

And in the obit thread, too. How convenient!

Michael Davis, bassist for the MC5.

Pola Illéry, star of Under the Roofs of Paris

And lived in Scranton, PA for half a century. Astounding.

I suppose that only a clip from René Clair's wonderful Under The Roofs of Paris will do!

Musician Billy Strange

Pioneering Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset

Jesus Franco's muse Lina Romay - no obits yet, so the link is to her Wikipedia page.

Confirmed by Tim Lucas from Spanish sources.

A long, accomplished and fun life.

I'm guessing I'm not the only person here with a bunch of Grove paperbacks on their shelf.

One of the greats

Gutted, just watched The Sacrifice yesterday.

Very sad news. While his Bergman films and the Tarkovsky are the giant pillars of his career, I also want to point out his great performances in Dusan Makavejev's Montenegro, Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books and in István Szabó's Hanussen, along with his work with Liv Ullmann, particularly in the excellent framing scenes in Faithless.

A great actor.

Bruce Surtees.

Indeed. Phenomenal career, and a long, full life to boot.

Tack för allting, Erland Josephson.

Really sad about this. I recently watched his Biography on A&E and everyone could see what a charming,entertaining, good man he was.

Sad news. I've always had a soft spot for the Monkees' music.

I'll always remember him for this impressive dance sequence from HEAD.

Conservative media gadfly and talking head in The Undefeated, Andrew Brietbart. It should also be noted that his "Big..." empire started out with his "Big Hollywood" site, an attempt to make over the film and television industries into a more conservative friendly environment.

One of my conservative friends has already passively alleged foul play because of those videos of Obama in college that Breitbart claimed to have a couple of weeks ago.
