Popular actor Peter Hansen has died aged 95. I like Hansen in Rudolph Mate's science-fiction picture 'When Worlds Collide' (1951). He's remembered in 'Variety' :
Peter Hansen (1921 - 2017)
Ol' Man Jimmie Booth has died at the age of 91. Booth was a wild west trooper who could jump any wagon and tame any horse.
Margarita Isabel has died aged 73. Isabel was a talented character actress whose popularity grew as she got older. Among her best known films are Alfonso Arau's studied romance 'Like Water For Chocolate' (1992) and Guillermo Del Toro's low budget horror 'Cronos' (1993).
Comedian Charlie Murphy has died aged 57 following a long period of illness. Murphy popped up in small character roles in some interesting movies, including a pair of films for Spike Lee, 'Mo' Better Blues' (1990) and 'Jungle Fever' (1991). He also worked with his brother Eddie Murphy, beginning with 'Harlem Nights' (1989) which Eddie directed.
I'd like to mention the passing of Spanish director Francisco Perez-Dolz who was 95. Perez-Dolz directed a handful of genre flicks in the 1960s, having worked as an assistant director to some of Spain's most prominent commercial directors in the 1950s. I hope to one day see his work.
