WTF, pro wrestling heel/manager/commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan died about two months ago. 72, complications from cancer. Poor bugger, that's a hard way to go and relatively young these days. I was only ever into wrasslin' by osmosis, in the mid-80s and early-90s boom periods, but he was one of those ubiquitous figures I recall fondly.

Actually had no idea he'd even been alive until so recently. Just looked him up after fondly remembering his sage remark on a brutally well-sold cup shot to Rick Steiner ("Some parts you just can't toughen up!"), sometime during the late-90s PW resurgence. Was right around WCW really going to shit, so I guess early '99? RIP anyway.

John Hillerman, "Higgins" from Magnum PI, just died.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

From the Reddit thread:
I'm very saddened by this; Of course, many will remember her as the voice of Bulma, but my favorite roles of hers were always Madoka Ayukawa from Kimagure Orange Road and Asuna Kujo from Maison Ikkoku. She passed away way too soon. RIP.
So, she played Mitaka's love interest (the rich girl w/ the two annoying dogs you wanted to strangle). KOR never really sat well with me as it was like a soap opera... maybe I would enjoy it now w/ a bit more language under my belt. Also noted from the Japanese news cast, she played Dokin-chan from Anpanman, so the handful of us with half Japanese kids have probably had her voice resonating through our homes whether we liked it or not. Ukyo from Ranma seems to be another. Anything made after 1994 and I have no clue what it is.

The link you posted says she died of an aortic dissection while she was driving.

Judging by the frequency of these deaths you post in this thread, I'm starting to think that anime voice acting is going to join logging and fishing as one of the most dangerous professions.

Rikard Wolff, Swedish actor and voice actor, passed away yesterday at only 59 years of age. Apart from having an awesome name, he did among other things the Swedish voice for Scar in The Lion King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTNoxSGXaIM

Malcolm Young from AC/DC, died in his sleep at 64. Not surprised (he'd retired some years back, suffering from dementia), but still sad. Fucking hell, seems fairly young for that, or so I'd like to think. I know it hits some terribly early in life. edit: Malcolm with two Ls, he was.

Probably the most famous strictly "rhythm" player in rock? I know many of us have quite a few of his riffs permanently branded into our brains.
Malcom was the guy who ran the whole AC/DC juggernaut.
By all accounts, not a man to be fucked with.

RIP, boss.

Keith Richards is the only backing guitarist of comparable acclaim I can think of... I'm a bit of a casual though, tbh. :wink:

Young's place in riff-man legend is long since assured, indeed. As a kid reading interviews, I remember being struck by the deference the more feted Angus paid Malcolm's linchpin presence. Likely gave me an early heads-up to evaluate performance (music, cinematic, whatever) from the bedrock upwards, spotlight and showboatery be damned.

Loved Bacalov. A lot of great scores for a lot of great films. Obviously Django is the killer one, but he was pretty well rounded as some of the euro-crime stuff gets pretty nuts with some wailing, fuzzy ass guitars.

I really like this one from The Last Chance, AKA Stateline Motel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSy7wcTUjA

Hell of a cast with Fabio Testi, Eli Wallach, Barbara Bach, and Ursula Andress, but it's really nothing too special. Saucy love scene with Testi and Andress, plus I think they were dating at the time, so you've got that extra special passion <3. So yeah, of course I've got an original poster of it anyway because Testi is my man 8) . Man crush Saturday or whatever.

I'm sure pills of some sort put her into the ground. Having beliefs but not being able to handle when the internet didn't agree pushed over the edge.

There was depression and instability involved, no doubt but "beliefs"?
Not the place for me to comment further here, I think.
Gave my take on it, for what its worth, in the "Bush" thread.

I don't have much of a take. I guess she believed testing in gay porn wasn't sufficient.
