British filmmaker Robert Day has died at the age of 94. Day was a talented technician who served his time on camera crews before being granted the opportunity to direct features. Among his horror gems are 'Corridors Of Blood' (1958), 'Grip Of The Strangler' (1958), 'First Man Into Space' (1959) and the classic television movie 'The Initiation Of Sarah' (1978).
The great Cuban actor Tomas Milian has died at the age of 84. Milian studied at the Actors Studio in New York where he undertook occasional language classes and carried out odd jobs to pay the rent. He became a major star in Italy under the guidance of early mentor Mauro Bolognini, proceeding to work with Luchino Visconti, Alberto Lattuada, Francesco Maselli, Michelangelo Antonioni, Carlo Lizzani, Valerio Zurlini, Nanni Loy, Florestano Vancini, Franco Brusati, Renato Castellani, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi, Franco Prosperi, Alberto De Martino, Bernardo Bertolucci, Pasquale Festa Campanile, Lilliana Cavani, Sergio Corbucci, Bruno Corbucci, Sergio Sollima, Giulio Petroni, Giulio Questi, Romolo Guerrieri, Sergio Martino and Stelvio Massi, among others. He worked with many other fine directors during his long and illustrious career, including visionaries like Jean Cocteau and Franco Zefferilli in the theatre. An intense, hard-working performer, Milian often performed his own stunts. He was also a fine impressionist with a gift for improvisation and affectation, as well as being a master of physical disguise. I believe Tomas Milian was one of the great actors of our time and he will be missed by many.
Thanks for the movies.
Robert Day & Tomas Milian Rest in Peace
