William Klein

He was 96 but still a gut punch. I just saw a bunch of his films at Anthology Film Archives as part of an ongoing celebration of his work.

[Computer Raheem]

Rapper and singer PnB Rock at only 30.

Warning for those who may be inclined to Google him: there is extremely graphic footage of the aftermath of his death circulating online. Please be wary of where you might end up so that you can avoid having to witness it.

There are reports that The Deadly Spawn director Douglas McKeown has passed away.

Klein's Broadway by Night is an excellent short and I've a lot of time for Mr Freedom, nicely pastiched by Beck in the video to Sexx Laws!

[Sloper]

Ted Walch, a performing arts teacher at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. I know him from his frequent guest appearances on Max Baril's Classic Movie Musts podcast, especially the series of episodes on William Wyler. There was always a nice rapport between Baril and his former teacher - it's a real pleasure to listen to them both getting excited about Wyler's use of staircases. I wish I'd had a teacher like that at school or university.

Henry Silva.

[domino harvey]

I’m shocked he was still with us, but RIP regardless!

Henry Silva.

I'll always treasure that segment of Amazon Women On The Moon for Silva's perfectly straight faced performance of a really silly concept!

[therewillbeblus]

For some reason I always think of his distinct character in Manchurian Candidate first and foremost in name association, despite that it's such an underwritten role, but he's great in the underdiscussed gem Johnny Cool that domino recently put on my radar, and was in some fun unexpected roles all the way up to Ghost Dog!

[L.A.]

Silva as a baddie in Code of Silence (1985) is scary, seriously.

[Beloved Aunt]

straight faced

Ha, no kidding. I've never seen this man smile, not once!

[Kracker]

I’m shocked he was still with us, but RIP regardless!

He’s another one I could have sworn died twice already.

[Maltic]

Who was scarier, Howard Da or Henry Silva?

Israeli animator Gil Alkabetz, who produced a significant body of acclaimed shorts, but might be most famous for the animated sequences in Run Lola Run

[Saturnome]

I liked Swamp a lot, when I was a teen browsing youtube for animation.

Drummer Anton Fier. He's played with a ridiculous number of people: John Zorn, the Lounge Lizards, Bob Mould, Pere Ubu, the Lounge Lizards, Mick Jagger...it's possible he's collaborated with Bill Laswell the most but I'll always remember him as the Feelies' original drummer (see Crazy Rhythms).

Sorry to hear this. I had a chance to meet and interview Fier in the mid-80s when he was touring with the supergroup The Golden Palominos (and saw him live a few years later when he drummed for Bob Mould). He struck me as a no nonsense professional who adapted well to the numerous musicians he performed with.

Hilary Mantel at 70, the author of the trilogy of historical novels focusing on Thomas Cromwell, with Wolf Hall (later made into a BBC series with Mark Rylance as Cromwell), Bring Up The Bodies and The Mirror & The Light.
