Damn, I was going to watch Grand Prix today but got sidetracked - strange coincidence that it was on the day he died. :-

Was it already scheduled then? I assumed it was late change because of events.

He was also a great Western actor. I have several of his films.

Another great loss. :(

I'm starting to feel old. All the actors who played characters I looked up to as a kid are dropping like flied.

Well, it was listed in my TV magazine which was printed earlier in the week, so I assume just a coincidence.

It's part of life. You go through a phase when all the social events you go to are parties. Then a phase when they're all weddings. Then a phase when they're all christenings (or similar). Then a phase for post-divorce parties. Then it starts to be funerals..

I set out very early on that I don't do 'dos', so consequently funerals are my one concession! And even then... Hell, even my own funeral will just see me being burnt, nothing more lol.
