Federer91 2,140 Posted September 10, 2020 #1332 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This has been, more than others, a really bad year, when it comes to losing senior iconic movie and TV people. Only this year we lost Kirk Douglas, Ennio Morricone, Max von Sydow, Olivia de Havilland, Carl Reiner, Joel Schumacher, Brian Dennehy, James Lipton, Fred Willard, Jerry Stiller, Regis Philbin. And there are still 4 months left. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are still 4 months left. It won't ever be less, since there are simply more and more famous people and so more and more famous people die. I had never heard of half these people by the way, including Diana Rigg (and yes, I've seen Game of Thrones entirely, twice). If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I imagine The Avengers are usually linked to modern superhero movies but British crime/spy shows of the 60s/70s were a lot better than these computer-generated gimmicks. And I suppose you didn't follow the James Bond franchise either, after all Diana Rigg was like the only woman character who married Bond during its run. I also remember her from 'Evil Under the Sun' - the 1982 Ustinov version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Another Day I think that is? Much like Star Wars/Trek I just never got the appeal of the series.
