TV And Movie Star Ricardo Montalban Obituary
Ricardo Montalban was a star of both TV and film, and 'Star Trek' and 'Planet Of The Apes' fans will remember him fondly for his two very different roles - as the maniacal, charismatic Khan ('Star Trek' TV series, and the 1982 film 'Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan'), and the kindly Armando ('Escape From The Planet Of The Apes (1971)' and 'Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes (1972)'). Montalban was also the star of 'Fantasy Island' as Mr. Roarke, which ran from 1978 to 1984 in the US, and was popular around the world. Ricardo Montalban appeared in many notable TV shows, including 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.', 'Dr. Kildare', 'Mission: Impossible', 'Ironside', 'Hawaii Five-O', 'Gunsmoke', 'Here's Lucy', 'Murder, She Wrote', 'Chicago Hope', 'Dynasty', and he was a regular in that show's spin-off, 'The Colbys', as Zachary 'Zach' Powers. Montalban's last TV role was the voice of The Cow in 'Family Guy' in 2008! (more...)

Patrick McGoohan - Be Seeing You, Number Six; Patrick McGoohan - An Obituary
Patrick McGoohan, who died on January 13th after a short illness, made his name on TV, firstly as John Drake in 'Danger Man', then transforming the Drake character into the rebellious, iconic, Number Six in the surreal, cult classic 'The Prisoner'. Very much in the spirit of the '60s, 'The Prisoner' was about a man imprisoned in a place with the deceptively cosy name, 'The Village'. Number Six refuses to abide by the rules, and the brooding panache Patrick McGoohan brought to his role remains one of the most memorable of all TV performances. (more...)

Paul Newman Obituary
Compassionate Paul Newman, who died on September 26th, 2008, after a long and brave battle with cancer, was one of the coolest of movie stars. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 26th, 1925, Newman served in World War Two, and, by a twist of fate, was pulled out of a mission when an aircraft radioman/gunner, as his pilot was ill. All those who went on the mission were subsequently killed. After the war, Paul Newman studied acting at Yale University, and was taught by Lee Strasberg in New York City. He then went on Broadway. After his first film, 'The Silver Chalice (1954)', and giving a performance he wasn't happy with, Newman first really made his name in movies playing boxer Rocky Graziano in 'Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956)', and as Brick Pollitt (his first Best Actor Oscar nomination) in the Tennessee Williams adaptation 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958)'.
