There might not be anything that can top his exit from the remake of The Thing but we was also great as the President's doctor tending to Chancey Gardener in Being There.
He was also in one of the early cycle of Michael Critchton adaptations (lesser known compared to The Andromeda Strain and Westworld), The Terminal Man. Interestingly both Dysart and Donald Moffat starred together in both The Terminal Man and The Thing!

Re: Passages
Judith Malina was also in Jack Smith's cult classic film Flaming Creatures (NSFW).
He's also the director of the gimmicky sounding "Duo-vision" film Wicked, Wicked.
A director of tons of those great short Warner Brothers "So You Want To..." films with the character Joe McDoakes. So You Want To Give Up Smoking was the first in 1942 and according to imdb the series continued until 1956.FrauBlucher wrote:Richard L. Bare

Re: Passages
Almond's Isabel with his ex Genevieve Bujold is an absolute masterpiece and an overlooked classic of psychosexual horror. I heard Olive had the rights but I don't know why nothing ever materialized. It's up on Amazon Prime right now though

Re: Passages
Act of the Heart is good, too. Almond would probably have a bigger rep if those were easier to see. Plus he was involved with some important Canadian TV shows (Wojeck) and his early connection to the Up series has been largely forgotten.

Sam Rohdie.
No formal confirmation yet, but Facebook posts from people who knew him all say the same thing. (It was on April 3rd.) The link is to an extensive 2010 interview with him.

Re: Passages
Percy Sledge was a pretty terrific singer, with a nice combination of restraint and passion.
Besides the classic When A Man Loves a Woman (featured in numerous films), I'd rec that folks check out the my favorite PS song, It Tears Me Up, plus Sudden Stop, and his cover version of Behind Closed Doors.

Indeed, Fanaka's death is old news - though thanks for the reminder to buy a ticket for the 35mm screening of Welcome Home, Brother Charles at the Tate Modern on Saturday!Roger Ryan wrote:I was curious why the Times claimed he was 69 when he was born in 1942...then realized he passed away three years ago!Grand Wazoo wrote:Times obit for Jamaa Fanaka

Levi Watkins, pioneering heart surgeon and civil rights activist. Such was his reputation in Baltimore that the schoolkids in season 4 of The Wire knew who he was.

It looks like he lived a decade beyond that - the article notes he was 102.Mr Sausage wrote:One of the luminaries of modern literary criticism, M. H.

Yeah, that was just some weird lapse on my part. Went to write 102, wrote a totally different number instead. *shrugs*Roger Ryan wrote:It looks like he lived a decade beyond that - the article notes he was 102.Mr Sausage wrote:One of the luminaries of modern literary criticism, M.
