Barbara Hale, best remembered for the TV series Perry Mason, but probably more recognizable to forum members as the unbelieving mother in the film noir The Window.

Her performance in Franju's Thérèse Desqueyroux is incredible-- the best depiction of depression, loneliness, and emptiness I've ever seen. Shame there's still no English-friendly releasePerkins Cobb wrote:Emmanuelle Riva.

Cinematographer Frank Tidy, who did an absolutely brilliant job on Ridley Scott's The Duellists.

Re: Passages
To clarify, Nakamura was the founder of Namco, the company that produced & distributed Pac-Man. The character of Pac-Man was created by Toru Iwatani (still living, he had a cameo in Pixels, though in a bizarre twist an actor played him while he played a different character), while Nakamura suggested shortening the original name "Pakkuman" to "Pac-Man."djproject wrote:Masaya Nakamura, creator of "Pac Man"

Georgy Taratorkin, mostly famous for Raskolnikov in Soviet Crime and Punishment (1970). Unfortunately most articles are translated badly from Russian, like this one...

Re: Passages
Alan Simpson, who with his long-term partner Ray Galton (happily still with us) was easily one of the most important writers in British sitcom history: indeed, Hancock's Half-Hour and Steptoe and Son did as much to establish and shape the genre's basic principles as anything before or since.

So Alan Simpson, David Axelrod, and Richard Hatch all died. But not that Alan Simpson, David Axelrod, or Richard Hatch.

Re: Passages
Hah, reminds me of a reaction I got when I told someone (who turned out to be a huge Game of Thrones fan) that George Martin died. (Bigger deal for me since I'm a much bigger Beatles fan than anything else.)
