Glad to know she got justice for work being properly credited to her before she died.

I never forgot Joe Turkel's face after the first time I saw him in a movie ( City Across The River), and I remembered his name. He had a memorable presence, often gave off menacing vibes. Something about him reminds me of certain other "boyish" actors who came up in films late 40s to early 60s: John Davis Chandler and Rex Holman come to mind. Actually, Bruce Dern began similarly, as a primarily small parts player, then gradually move up in the world, becoming something of a star player, sort of "the other Jack Nicholson". Anyway, this is a Joe Turkel tribute, not a Bruce Dern one. May be Rest In Peace.

Sad news, though he clearly had a long, prolific life. Brook helped revolutionize British theater in the 60's and he directed my always favorite version of a Midsummer Night's Dream both for stage and film (alas, I was only ever able to see the movie version), as well as the incredible stage and film versions of Marat/Sade. Time to watch both again as tribute --as well as his powerful 1963 film of Lord of the Flies.

They both touched me deeply (of course they had authors, too ). Brook really had a way of channeling the zeitgeist into his film work. RIP, Peter Brook.

They both touched me deeply (of course they had authors, too ). Brook really had a way of channeling the zeitgeist into his film work. RIP, Peter Brook. Well put, Tel. His work definitely encapsulated a lot of the turmoil and angst of the era, but is so well done that it dates not at all today. I'd have loved to be able to see Marat/Sade in it's original inception (I have seen a couple of quite good local theater productions; as you say, the work had its author as well, and Peter Weiss' script is exceptionally powerful stuff) both in London and on Broadway; but the film has the merit of being one of those productions that gives off an almost-as-good-as being there aura. Not to go off on tangents, but the acting is no small point in this: Ian Richardson, Patrick Magee, Glenda Jackson and Michael Williams all mesmerize (when they look into the camera you get the most uncanny feeling that they're looking directly at you), and they're abetted by a first-rate backup cast, including the marvelous Freddie Jones; and that's not at all to stint the most excellent Clive Revill, who originated Marat in London, and whom I'd have given a necessary limb to see playing the role onstage.
