Ed Asner dies at 91: TV star known for playing Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show 'passes away peacefully' surrounded by his family Asner died peacefully on Sunday morning, surrounded by his family He was 91-years-old and the cause of death has yet to be determined Asner was best known for playing Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show A former president of the Screen Actors Guild, Asner was a much-loved and well-respected member of the Hollywood community He had more than 300 acting credits and remained active throughout his 70s and 80s in a variety of film and TV roles
Appeared in loads of things. My favourite (although very much of its time) was "Get Some In", where he played a great straight man to a young Robert Lindsay.
Example:-
"What is your name?" "Smiff" "Smiff? Smiff? Is that 1 f or 2? "Free."
Michael K Williams: The Wire actor found dead in his New York apartment
Didn't know about him until you recommended Boardwalk Empire and The Wire, what a great actor and very believable and likeable in both roles. Surprises me that he was only 54 though.

He also made a few appearances in Minder, playing a thicko. I've always liked him but I don't know why, I guess it goes back to Get Some In. The 70's & 80's may (rightly or not) get criticised but they produced some classic T.V.
Boffin who blew a fortune on the dodgiest three-wheeler since Del Boy's: Sir Clive Sinclair - who has died aged 81 - was the brilliant inventor with a racy love life who gave home computing to the masses

Harding revealed in August 2020 that she had been diagnosed with the disease, which had spread to other parts of her body.
Her mother Marie announced the news on Instagram, describing her "beautiful" daughter as "a bright, shining star".
Earlier this year Harding revealed doctors had told her she would not see another Christmas.
Example:-
"What is your name?"
"Smiff"
"Smiff? Smiff? Is that 1 f or 2?
"Free."
It was a very sad end.
RIP Sir Clive Sinclair.
A real mad genius & a keen poker player.

Think that must be a very old article Tony - pretty sure Peter Falk (Colombo) died over 10 years go.
