Olivia Hussey, best known as Juliet in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, has died at 73.

Ney Latorraca, beloved Brazilian actor, has passed away at 80.

I have fond memories of his comedic TV characters from the eighties, when I was just a little kid. He played a fundamental role in the transformation of Brazilian TV after the end of the military dictatorship and its official censorship in 1985. Ney Latorraca was also one of the most important drama theater actors of his generation.

Never seen that version of Romeo & Juliet, but she played Rebecca in the 1982 version of Ivanhoe, a film which is played on tv in Sweden every new year.
 


Walter Upton has passed.

Sad day. Looks like roughly 66,000 of the 16 million American WW2 are still alive and it is estimated that the last one will pass around 2040.

The last WW1 American died in 2011 and last UK veteran died in 2012.
