Sean Connery, the first James Bond, has died, aged 90.

Sean was the first big screen Bond.
This man played Bond first:

American actor Barry Nelson, in a 1950s TV play version of ‘Casino Royale’.

He was the best Bond for me and he was excellent in the Untouchables. RIP Sean.

Indeed.

Cloris Leachman, 94. RIP

For all the great roles she played(which I didn't really know until now) I know her most from a 1987 movie I loved as a kid, Hansel & Gretel. She played the witch.

He was a giant in Australian music, as a promoter and as founder of Mushroom Records. Scary to think I can clearly remember when Skyhooks' debut album Living in the 70's was released by Mushroom Records.

Prince Phil.

Sad news and I was also hoping he got to 100 to get his letter from the Queen.

 

[Vocodr]

It's the Queen I feel sorry for. She's lost her husband, her best friend and her favourite cousin all in one go!
