Normanton Lad Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Lester Piggott was often in the news 3 or 4 decades ago but I was surprised to see an article about him paper this morning. I hadn't heard anything about him for so long that I'd almost forgotten about him. I assumed he was dead. I was watching The Fugitive the other week and Ed Asner was in a show from about 1965. He looked middle aged then but when he appeared in various shows in mid 1970s he looked like an old fat man about to have a heart attack. I looked him up on the IMDB to find out when he died and I was astonished to read that he is still alive and is still acting. He seems to be defying the expectations of medical science.

The main character in Little Big Man would suit if they remake that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinder Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Donald Sutherland. Thought we’d lost him ages ago but he’s in the new Nicole Kidman / High Grant show. His neck does look like a ballbag now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 With the topic title very much in mind, I must admit today's news that Des O'Conner has died took me by surprise. I hadn't realised he was still with us! Lousy singer... but an all round good egg though, by all accounts. I strongly suspect a certain pair will be up there waiting at the pearly gates for you... probably muttering something along the lines of "What took you?". Good job they're only joking... I think! ? RIP, sir... and good innings! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
