Donald Sutherland (88) passed away. One of my favourite actors. I liked his many roles in WWII and spy movies. Kelly‘s Heroes, Eye of the Needle, The Eagle has landed to mention a few, but also JFK, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, etc. I will miss him.

Sutherland's role as maryjane-smoking professor David Jennings in Animal House.

Will always remember that long stare after one of the students asks him through the haze, "Where can I buy some of this pot?"

I remember her playing Olive Oil to Robin Williams' Popeye way back when. They were both brilliant.

Richard Simmons will sadly not be sweating to the oldies any more. He has died at 76.

I always like him and he helped so many people.
