Bummer. Up until the Daniel Craig Bond films, Hedison was the only actor to play Felix Leiter twice. And I used to watch Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea all the time when I had days off from school. I was surprised to find out he was still alive, only to become saddened at the fact that he wasn't alive anymore.

One of the greast and moving soliloquies in cinema history which he ad-libbed and added the now famous metaphor that the scence gets its name from. Seems to always get dusty everytime I watch it.

Very sad news to hear that Rutger Hauer has left us.
The thing that puts a smile on my face is when he was recommended for the part of Blade Runner due to his performance in Turkish Delight, and then turns up to the set - dressed in a very peculiar manner for the time( something about Elton John sunglasses? ) leaving the Director and crew thinking "omg what have we done?"...
...and then together they made cinema history, and Rutger delivering the performance of an entire generation.
Yeah, I'm annoyed to be honest. As far as a lot of the articles are concerned, his entire career was just that one scene from Blade Runner.
Part of that is the timing... Bladerunner takes place in a dystopian 2019.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

Legendary game designed Richard H Berg passed away yesterday.
He designed Conquistador, Blackbeard, War of the Ring (the SPI wargame), Successors, Terrible Swift Sword, Simple GBoH, and the quick playing, always have space for - Campaign for North Africa.

It is a powerful death scene - hence approrpiate for such a great actor?

This one was a long time coming. She lasted a lot longer than the doctors thought she would, though, or so I've gathered since I saw stuff about her having less than a year to live, like, 3 years ago.
