Peter Sallis, who was the voice of Wallace in the Wallace and Gromit animated films, has died at age 96.

Glenne Headly, who held her own against Michael Caine and Steve Martin in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," has died at age 62.

Sad news and very unexpected news. It was a pulmonary embolism, so quite sudden, and just terrible for her family and those she was currently working with on a Hulu series.

Loved her in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", one of my favorite movies. The last thing I saw her in was "The Night Of" on HBO. She was flawless n her role, as usual.

Nice tribute there from the Dick Tracy Topps trading card set, truly one of the first deluxe non-sports sets, with the beautiful high gloss white stock base cards needed to really show off the movie's groundbreaking color schemes.

Breathless Mahony is OK, but give me Tess Trueheart any day.

Rest in peace, Glenne. Condolences to her family, friends, and fans...

Headley was what you would call an actor's actor. People in the craft thought she was fantastic, but she never quite made it as a star that could carry a film. She had a couple of star turns before settling into the supporting actor category. Even at that, she made every scene she was in better for her presence.

Yeah I liked the lady and was very sorry to hear of her passing.

Stephen Furst has passed away



I met him ages ago at William Campbell's Fantasticon in L.A.

This was one of the Best Conventions I ever attended or worked. Stephen Furst was as warm and friendly as anyone could hope for.

Every single Q & A started with his favorite Non B-5 Line.... Oh boy is this great!

Today isn't Great but our memories are...

I'm Tired of Losing all these actors I grew up with.

it Sucks!

John Heard passed away at 72, no cause of death yet.

He had at least one autograph card in the Battlestar Galactic series.

Heard was a fine young actor that got derailed as a star later on. He did continue to work in movies and TV though. He had a big part in the Sopranos, but was a familiar face in many shows. I really liked his soft spoken voice, which is what I will remember most.

He was also Kevin's father in Home Alone.



And was nominated for an Emmy for his role in The Sopranos.

June Foray, voice of Rocket J. Squirrel and hundreds of other animated characters, died yesterday at age 99.

Robert Hardy died today at age 91. RIP.
