Wow, what a thread. Makes you think.

I hadn't heard that Brando had died. Sad.
And Jerry Goldsmith too.

Gone to the angels...

"King Kong" Beauty Fay Wray passed away.

Updated. It's a shame Fay Wray didn't live long enough to see Naomi Watts reprise her role of Ann Darrow in Peter Jackson's version of King Kong.

I grew up watching her on PBS, her show aired between the Electric Company & Monty Python. Odd pairings on the weekday afternoons.
