Another who I thought died years ago.....
Cocoon is a good flick and the Thing is absolutely outstanding.
Wilford Brimley, Curmudgeonly Actor Known for ‘Cocoon’ and ‘The Natural,’ Dies at 85
Wilford Brimley, the actor with the walrus mustache whose down-home geniality seen in such films as 'Cocoon,' 'The Natural' and 'Absence of Malice' endeared him to moviegoers, has died. He was 85.
Shit, the dude looked like he was 80 back in the early 90s in The Firm.
Yeah I think he got to the age of 80 in his 40s and stayed there
This Twitter feed is great. It notes when celebrities reach the same age (in days old for some reason) that Brimley was when playing an old fogey in Cocoon.

Some will remember him from Star Trek and Banshee, but this was his most famous role.

Dame Diana Rigg.
Outstanding actress, genuinely classy lady and as sexy as hell as Emma Peel in The Avengers.
-
@Victor-Meldrew yes devastating to wake up to learn Emma Peel's arse has been taken from the world. Fortunately it lives on in the celluloid world.
A classically trained actress with an outstanding body of work. Able to excel in a broad variety of roles. Intelligent, sassy - one for the ages.

Only woman who ever married James Bond as well. On her Majesty’s Secret Service was one of the best ever and she was a massive part of that.
Bloody good in GOT as whats her name Tyrell as well.
RIP Tracy

She appeared naked in Abelard and Heloise on stage in the 70's. A critic famously described her as "built like a brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttresses".
Her response? She published a best-selling collection of caustic theatre reviews called "No Turn Unstoned" and dedicated it to said critic.
Class to burn
