Final Curtain Call - Extinct Actors

[Elmer_Judd]

Aww not Tim, always my favourite Goodie, The Heinz Baked Beans commercials were a timeless classic.

Have the entire series on DVD, but saving the last few discs for a special occasion, now is as good a time as anyway to watch it in tribute to the the wonderful Tim Brooke-Taylor.

We have lost a lot of good people and favourite celebrities in the Few months, but this one hurts a lot.

Grew up watching the Goodies repeats on the ABC in the 80s, was a big part of my childhood.

Sure most people over 35 have seen KittenKong or at least seen clips from it, amazing episode

RIP Tim.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He was so bloody British.

......do the Land of Hope and Glory speech in his Union Jack vest, then utterly shit himself.

Haven’t seen much of his work, but he did clearly have a highly decorated acting career. RIP

 

[Robbo's my hero]

RIP Brian Dennehy.

I highly recommend The Belly of an Architect (I hope I got it right).

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

It feels like Brian Dennehy was in so much more than I recognise. Played a great bad guy and hard ass cop.

RIP

Sons of Anarchy, Chernobyl Diaries star dead at 52

Actor Dimitri Diatchenko, who was known for his role in Chernobyl Diaries, has died, Fox News confirmed.

www.news.com.au

More sad news,The Chernobyl Diaries was a hauntingly decent and creepy movie, and he was great in it as Uri.

52 is way too young.

We have lost so many talented people (in all walks of life, not just movies and the art) in the past few months, although Dimitri’s passing is not COVID19 related it seems.

The Log Lady basically acted to her last days and did not really need much help working out how to play someone about to die as she was really in her last few days for real anyway.

 

[thylacine60]

wtf is a log lady?

 

[footyfan1978]

wtf is a log lady?

Her husband died in a tragic fire I think. Something like that, and for some reason she carried around a log for rest of her life for some connection to her husband, Maybe the log was from part of saw mill that got burnt down. Cannot remember the full story. She would tell people the log had something to say sometimes. So everyone called her the Log Lady.

 

[thylacine60]

There's an actress known as the log lady who died?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

There's an actress known as the log lady who died?

She is a character in Twin Peaks and the character died.

The actress playing her has also passed.

 

[The Toad]

She is a character in Twin Peaks and the character died.

The actress playing her has also passed.

Wow, a double whammy.

 

[footyfan1978]

Wow, a double whammy.

I think she died of cancer within days of her final scenes.
She knew she was going to die.
Video of her weird character 30 years ago and then the one of her last scenes where her role is of dying person and really dying too.

I am a Seinfeld tragic, so this one has hit me hard.

What an actor he was.

Arguably the show's best character. Every appearance he made was just hilarious.
