LONDON (AP) — Edward Woodward, the star of films including Breaker Morant and The Wicker Man, died Monday. He was 79.

Woodward, who starred at The Equalizer on television, died in a hospital in Cornwall after an illness, said Janet Glass of the Eric Glass Ltd. agency in London.

He won an Emmy Award in 1990 for Remembering World War II and a Golden Globe in 1987 for The Equalizer, which ran for 88 episodes from 1985 to 1989 on the U.S. network CBS.

In a career that began in 1946 in a regional production of A Kiss for Cinderella, Woodward played roles in productions ranging from the popular British soap opera Eastenders to productions of Shakespeare, and at least 40 films for theater or television.

His last film appearances were in Hot Fuzz in 2007 and Congregation of Ghosts, now in post-production.

shit - another great actor gone

I heard earlier it was pneumonia.


Despite my love for the Wicker Man, I will always remember him for The Equalizer. Fucking loved that show, Edward Woodward and his Jag kicked arse.

Me too. That was a great show.

TV presenter, Paul O'Grady's dog, Buster put down aged 14 due to cancer. Buster won a award recently for best dog on TV.

Is MovieLover12 someone's joke account or something?

A mob boss and a TV Presenter's dog? Wtf? A mob boss has nothing to do with the entertainment industry and who gives a crap about some noname's dog?

I think he just doesn't get the point of it. And as much as I hate the man, Paul O'Grady is a pretty big tv presenter here in Britain.

EDIT: and the dogs a pretty big part of the show. Still...who cares?

RIP Paul Naschy aka Jacinto Molina. (1934 - 2009)

Ah, that's a shame. He gave the world a lot of enjoyment. A prolific and original filmmaker.

For those of you who don't know who he was, he played Count Waldemar Daninsky in several Wolf-Man films of the early 70s, most of them in Spanish. He was one of the most hard-working filmmakers of our genre, often contributing a ton to his limited budget works. A true contributor to the popularity of horror back in the 70s.

Cancer took him. 75 years old. Died in Madrid.

Rip Paul Naschy:

Gene Barry, who starred in three hit TV series, Bat Masterson, Burke's Law and The Name of Game, died Wednesday in Los Angeles at age 90, his son, Fredric James Barry, said Thursday.

The cause of death was not disclosed.

In films, Barry had starred in the 1953 production of the War of the Worlds and appeared opposite Clark Gable in Soldier of Fortune in 1955. On stage, he received a Tony nomination in 1984 for his role as a gay night club owner in La Cage aux Folles.

Aw, that sucks. Bat Masterson was one of my faves as a kid, and I liked Burke's Law too. RIP Gene.

Rest in Peace, Gene.

Jennifer Jones, 90, actress who starred in Love is a Many Splendored Thing and The Song of Bernadette.

From Empire Online:

RIP to the man who brought us some of our genre's most memorable moments. You will be missed.

Definitely, Dan O'Bannon did some great and wonderful things, and approached his work with a passion. I am surprised to read about his passing. RIP Dan O'Bannon.

And Roy Disney, Jr. has also passed on. He was the clearest genetic link to the founders of the Disney company; his father, Roy Disney, Sr., was Walt Disney's main partner in the enterprise. RIP Roy Disney, Jr.

R.I.P. indeed. Dan leaves behind a legacy.

Thats really awful news I was a big fan of the man's work. RIP

Movie star Brittany Murphy is dead of a heart attack at 32.

She went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday and could not be revived, the Website TMZ reported.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department got a call from the home of Murphy's husband Simon Monjack about 8 a.m., fire officials told TMZ.

She was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival

Murphy starred in "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."

The starlet became a household name among teens in 1995 as the sidekick in "Clueless," who went from awkward wall flower to snotty hottie.

A few years ago, she released the single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which became a dance club hit.

Her last big movie was "Sin City" in 2005.

Just heard about this and was gonna post it...

Jesus, she was young! What a shame...RIP Brittany.

Britney Murphey, known for her roles in Girl Interrupted and Sin City was declared dead this morning from a full cardiac arrest at age 32. Blows my mind how young people die. :(

No, not Luanne! :(

Wow! RIP Brittany Murphy.....she was so young too.

Such a beautiful girl. Gone forever.

These are sad moments right now...

This is so sad. My coworker just told me a few minutes ago. I can hardly believe it...

just saw ths on yahoos front page, r.i.p.

I didn't want to believe that such a beautiful actress could go so soon. Rest in Peace. :(

Damn, thats a shock. 32 is way to young to go. RIP

That's too bad...while I wasn't a particular fan of her work, she was nice to look at and yeah...32...that's my favourite number incidentally, and rather young to die...though I have to say what I'm sure many are thinking, that some kind of drugs are *most likely* involved, husband attempting to stop an autopsy and all.
It was either that or the proper behaviour/procedures for her diabetes were'nt observed and followed.
Just can't think this would be natural causes...

Yeah, fatal heart attack at 32? Something's not right.

I've heard before she had self-image problems, and did a lot of dieting, etc. That stuff can be hard on your heart.

She seemed like a genuinely nice person.
