Sad news. I'll always remember him as the creepy older brother in Dementia 13.

Now that is a shock - she was only 63. I've recently rewatched (for review) Planet of the Spiders, and she features quite heavily in the extras, as you might expect.
Apparently Sarah Jane Smith was the longest-running television character (played by the same person) outside soap operas.
As it turns out, Ms Sladen was 65, not 63 - not the first actor to shave a couple of years off their age!

When compiling biographical data for various BFI projects, I tended to assume that if an actress had two alternative birthdates, the earlier one was more likely to be correct. This wasn't always true, but at as a rule of thumb it was pretty reliable.

That leaves Ansara as the last of the original series Klingon captains. Campbell was a good foil for Kirk in
Trouble. I always sort of regretted that he didn't become a semi-regular.

He has an IMDB entry because of appearances as himself in documentaries, but British-born Australian-resident

You can also see interviews with Cooper (and nine other notable heavyweights) in the excellent recent documentary
Facing Ali. Not just a boxing film, it captures aging men looking back on what they made of their careers and lives. Highly recommended.

Lawrence Lee, Stained-glass artist whose crowning glory is the nave windows of Coventry Cathedral. My interest in this man and his art derives from the fact that the first sixteen years of my life were spent in Coventry.
