RIP Anthony James
He has a spectacular death at the hands of Clint in âHigh Plains Drifterâ - very good character actor. R.I.P
R.I.P. Anthony JamesâŚalways a pleasure to see on screen.
The face that launched so many memorable film rolesâŚ
A unique looking guy who commanded attention when he showed up. He was also very funny.
Rest in peace Hector Savage!
His face wouldâve been perfect for the SW genre, surprised no one ever approached him about going to Italy for one. For me, heâll always be the guy who Clint Eastwood blows away in High Plains Drifter and Unforgiven. RIP.
@Tom_B I put the obituaries into the SWDb main menu finally⌠just a small tweak but it was overdue. The podcast as well
Thanks Seb and for the support.
DAME VERA LYNN, aged 103. R.I.P.
During World War Two, Dame Vera was known as the âForces Sweetheartâ, and helped, immensely, to maintain morale in Britain, during its darkest hours.
In her youth, she sang of âThe White Cliffsâ of Doverâ, while visiting battle-weary troops on the front-line, and assuring them that âThere Will Always Be An Englandâ.
Dame Vera remained an outspoken supporter of military veterans throughout her life; and, in May this year, she urged the nation to âremember the brave boys and what they sacrificed for usâ. She added: âThey left their families and homes to fight for our freedom and many lost their lives trying to protect us and our liberties.â
IndeedâŚâWeâll Meet AgainâŚâ R.I.P.
Rest in Peace to a true Dame! This lady kept our brave men fighting and the citizens of United Kingdom believing in our land and our freedom. We will truly never see her like again.
God bless you Vera.
Iâm not sure if Iâve ever heard any of her songs, but from reading about her on the IMDb she sounded like loads of fun and a class act in the entertainment world. RIP to legend.
SIR IAN HOLM, CBE, aged 88. R.I.P.
R.I.P. to one of my all-time favourite actors, Sir Ian Holm, who appeared in such classics as âAlienâ, âLord of the Ringsâ, âMary, Queen of Scotsâ, âShout at the Devilâ, âJesus of Nazarethâ, âChariots of Fireâ, and âGreystoke: the Legend of TarzanââŚto name but a few.

A fantastic, multi-talented actor, who always grabbed my attention, and held it tightly, during every superlative performance; whether on Stage, TV, or the Silver Screen.
Personally, I will always associate Sir Ian with the character of âAshâ, the android with attitude, in the original (and best), âAlienâ film, 1979.
R.I.P., SIR IAN HOLM

A familiar face on screen, and one of the greats
RIP Ian Holm
Another legend gone, but what a versatile career he had! I think he did almost every genre possible.
Sad to see him go. I think this man truly enchanted generations. His sinister performance in FROM HELL will always make him the definitive movie Ripper. Thanks for the memories
Sir Ian!
Rest well.
RIP RamĂłn Carlos MirĂłn Bravo, passed away in Madrid at the age of 77.
Iâve heard that name before, but I donât remember of I ever saw him. RIP.
Maybe an additional picture or screen shot would help to identify the persons in the database
He mainly had supporting actor jobs, but did have a more substantial role in âThe Boldest Job in the Westâ (1972)
⌠and in âThe Price of Powerâ, as Benito Stefanelliâs henchman
Finally recognised him! Nice one Aldo.
Rest in peace Mr Bravo.
