Thanks for posting that on Dudley Sutton. I've always liked him. I mean, this is sad news but not unexpected, given his advanced age. I've seen Sutton play a wide variety of roles, from punks to professional men, and he was always good. It likely helped him, as it often does when an actor's not all that famous (though Sutton's surely somewhat well known in the UK) inasmuch as he has no established persona he has to be careful to not deviate too far from; or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, is yearning to break away from. So many American actors get stuck as certain types, whether urban or rural, ethnic or mainstream, blue collar or upscale.
RIP, Dudley Sutton, and thanks for the memories.

Denis Norden was a British TV institution but the bit at the start of his obituary is a stunner. I didn't expect a piece about a comedy writer and performer to begin with death and starvation.

Distinguished French theatre performer Jean Piat has died at the age of 93. Though the singular Piat was known to merrily resist the temptations of cinema, he was always open to working with Sacha Guitry during his formative years in film. This led to comical character turns in Franz Antel's 'She Lost Her ... You Know What' (1968), Luis Bunuel's 'The Milky Way' (1969) and Rene Clement's 'Rider On The Rain' (1970), parts that reminded cinema audiences of what they'd missed and theatre audiences of the man they'd cherished. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for the movies.
