Left field for The Fern I guess, but Barbara Windsor has died of Alzheimer’s at 83. For those of us of a certain age our Dads’ interest in the comedy stylings of Sid James and co in the Carry On films was suspiciously weighted to the ones Babs was in. RIP.
Very underrated

RIP Deebo/Zeus

Loved him in Little Nicky

Possibly not the most recognisable of faces but he did play the most iconic bad guy in movie history.
RIP Lord Vader
I always assumed that it was Prowse's face we saw in ROTJ when Luke took off Vader's mask. But it was actually this guy
Another tidbit I stumbled on, the guy who voiced and played the hologram Emperor Palpatine in ESB was a Kiwi
He was replaced by Ian McDiarmid in ROTJ
The lady who cuts my hair cuts what's left of his. One degree of separation from most powerful being in the universe!

Charley Pride, 86, from COVID complications
That’s a shame. He was one of the old mans favourites that I had to enjoy ( it took a few listens ) on car rides back in the late 80s. He actually made country music more than tolerable.
Apparently COVID got Zeus/Deebo as well

Country music isn't my thing but he sure was a great singer who broke down musical barriers. Didn't even know he was black - not that it matters.
Absolutely revered in Ireland (Nth & Sth) as he refused to cancel a tour there when the Troubles were at their worst and helped ensure other acts followed him in appearing there. That took courage.

Apparently it does.
There's a bit of a "thing" at the moment about black lives mattering.

Thank God Bob Marley didn't die in 2020 then. I could have really put my foot in at and said "I didn't even know he was white...."

I got the missus and I Ben Harper tickets a few years back. She was telling her work colleagues about it, said we were off to Bob Marley tonight. Was convinced it was him
