Olivia Hussey has died of cancer at age 73. She appeared on cards and stickers in the just released "Black Christmas" set from Fright Rags, based on the influential 1974 horror classic.
Rest in peace.

Christopher Benjamin has just died aged 90. He appeared in Danger Man and The Prisoner playing the same character which was taken as an indication that the two series were connected. He also appeared in The Avengers and Dr Who where he appeared in three episodes as different characters with his last Dr Who appearance with David Tennant as the Doctor. I forget what the episode was called but it was the one where he met Agatha Christie.
I have shown a card from the Prisoner

I remember his Miller Lite commercials and him spoofing "homer" baseball announcers in "Major League." People have used his line, "I must be in the front row" I don't know how many times in baseball stadiums all over the country and maybe even in other countries.

He also became known for his writings about The Grateful Dead and The Beat Generation.
