Joe Turkel passed away on June27 at the age of 94. He was in a lot of films but we might know him best from "Blade Runner" in which he played the creator of the replicants.

The perfect Bartender!

The actor David Warner has died at the age of 80. He was best known for playing villains in films including 'Tron' and 'Time Bandits', but he has appeared in numerous memorable roles over the years. Sad to hear he is no longer with us.

First Ray Liotta dies and now fellow Goodfellas star Paul Sorvino at 83.

Judith Durham, lead singer with The Seekers has died aged 79. I bet she is on a music card somewhere.

Oh yes she is. The Seekers had a couple of hits in the U.S. I remember "Georgy Girl" very well though I've never seen the movie. They had a number of hits in Australia and the UK. Durham had a lot of success as an award-winning solo artist as well.

Man, what a bummer! She's been fighting that for years and years. Her songs will live on at every holiday party and wedding reception, but it feels like we are losing them all. RIP Lady.

This has been a rotten few weeks for celebreties that have given me so many wonderful memories. Now Olivia Newton-John has gone. At least her music and films will always be there to give those memories a welcome jog

Yeah, it was hard to hear of Olivia Newton John's passing. It was on the evening news. They played a few seconds of "Physical" but they didn't add how huge a song that was. It was the Number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks.

She was able to change with the times from early 70's country pop to "Grease" in the late 70's moving on to change her image with a sexier sound with her "Totally Hot" and "Physical" albums. It was a bit shocking like when Sheena Easton released "Sugar Walls."

I always liked that John Denver song "Fly Away" in which she did background vocals. I just read that she was uncredited for that but everyone knew it was her.

Sad day.

Raymond Briggs the creator and illustrator of 'The Snowman' has passed away at 88. A wonderful piece of animation that I rewatch every year at Christmas.
