Thank you for remembering make-up artist Giannetto De Rossi. De Rossi's genius was brought to the attention of a younger generation when his practical make-up effects for Alexandre Aja's cult favourite 'High Tension' (2003) exploded out of the digital era.
Sadly, legendary poster artist Enzo Sciotti died on the very same day, aged 76. Sciotti created poster art for some of the horror films that De Rossi designed make-up and special effects for.

Actor Felix Silla has passed away at the age of 84. He appeared in such films as Spaceballs, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and Batman Returns, and on the TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. But he'll probably be best remembered for his role on the original The Addams Family TV series as the enigmatic Cousin Itt. R.I.P.
