Indeed. One could knock me with a feather when I found out.

Of the big ones, that leaves Jacobi, Blessed, Philips, and Stewart, along with the two Whites, Faulkner, Robb, Castle, Walker, Biggins, Quinn, McNally, Davies, Guard, Oglivy, and Young.

I have some weird feeling that Alien cast members will pass away in the same order as in the movie. Actually, given their age that seems very likely

I wish I had gotten to see him on stage. I've seen Sian Phillips, Margaret Tyzack, Patrick Stewart and a few others on stage. I was really sad by this as there have been far too many celebrity deaths as of late, and coming in three's again with Mary Tyler Moore and Mike Conners. While they were not young, their work makes them seem that way. I had just watched I Claudius again for the second time in a year just two months ago, and now have to look for some of his other works.
