Obituary

Do you ever notice how famouse people seem to die in blocks?

I know it sounds weird, but recently we've lost Arthur C. Clarke and Paul Schofield and now one of my favourite unsung heroes Richard Widmark has passed away.

Appeared in a lot of Westerns, but for me he was the male lead opposite Marilyn Monroe in the superb B&W film Don't Bother to Knock and most famously he was the murder victim in the Albert Finney version of Murder on the Orient Express

R.I.P. Richard. I'll be watching Orient Express tonight in tribute.
