I always think of her from Young Frankenstein, but she was in a fair amount of other things, including an episode of the original series of Star Trek.

Watched Young Frankenstein in her memory tonight. A classic, both the movie and the actress.

RIP.

I used to have a nice hardback book of his art but it got lost in a move awhile ago.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

He was one of those actors that would turn up in the most random roles.

He’ll be sorely missed.

John Prescott has passed away. One of the few politicians that proved their worth. Someone who actually did their job and aimed to make things better.
