Gustavo Rojo has died aged 93. Rojo was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1923, the son of playwright and novelist Mercedes Pinto. His career in movies took him from Argentina to Cuba, the United States to Mexico, from Spain to France and beyond. Rojo appeared in scores of entertainments and was a popular performer in action adventures.
Witold Pyrkosz has died. He was 90 years old. Pyrkosz made his film debut in 1956, just as the Polish Film School movement was about to explode. He worked with giants of the national cinema like Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Andrzej Munk, Witold Lesiewicz, Jerzy Passendorfer, Wojciech Has, Sylwester Checinski, Jerzy Hoffman, Andrzej Wajda, Roman Zaluski, Krzysztof Zanussi and Juliusz Machulski, to name but a few. Pyrkosz was a distinguished actor with exceptional comic timing who won many awards in his homeland.
French actress Yvonne Monlaur has passed away at the age of 77. Monlaur made many films in Europe during the 1950s and 1960s before taking early retirement. She appeared in two British horror classics, Sidney Hayers' twisted carnival show 'Circus Of Horrors' (1960) and Terence Fisher's elegant vampire tale 'The Brides Of Dracula' (1960). She was a wonderful performer.
Rest in Peace
