What's interesting is I'm seeing people posting returns from her after her passing. Seems like she was responding to fan mail til the very end.

Here's a Robocop 2 card for the just departed actor and playwright Tom Noonan, who passed away last week at 74.



Most people didn't like this sequel as much as the classic original, but I enjoyed both movies about the same.

He also played Frankenstein's Monster in the 1987 fan favorite "The Monster Squad", and I do have a card of him from an SDCC giveaway set promoting a DVD release of it, but unfortunately don't have a scan of that one. More recently, he appeared in the Charlie Kaufman mindbender, "Anomalisa", and as usual, was perfectly cast.

Tom Noonan had a physical look that typecast him to certain roles and that was too bad. I always liked his acting, but his best is rarely mentioned. A film called "Manhunter" cast him as the serial killer early in his career. It was an adaption of "Red Dragon" and if you have never seen it, I would suggest you find it. It still holds up.

Great movie. Great book. I've always liked Brian Cox as Hannibal Lector more than Anthony Hopkins but I know it's debatable - a matter of different styles chosen for the character.

"Manhunter" is a Michael Mann film and Noonan later appeared in another of his widely acclaimed movies, "Heat".

Again please ensure that when posting images everyone visiting the site would like to see them, Your utter contempt for those outside the USA (I assume) is NOT APPRECIATED.
