RIP Peter Wyngarde, age 90.

Maybe best remembered as Jason King, the writer/spy from 60s/70s ITV shows. And of course, once on DoctorWho. 

Comics fans may know he was the model for the Claremont/Byrne version of Mastermind, part of the Hellfire Club.

RIP, Tinky Winky. :(

Simon Shelton Barnes died aged 52 last week, with neighbours claiming he had collapsed in the street and died of hypothermia.

Simon Shelton Barnes played the much-loved character of Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies

A resident in Ampthill told the Daily Mirror: "We don’t know many details, but we understand he collapsed in the street and possibly died of hypothermia."

He had trained as a ballet dancer and choreographer before taking on the role of the purple Teletubby known for carrying a magic bag between 1998 and 2001.

Co-star John Simmit, who appeared alongside him as green Tellytubby Dipsy, posted a picture of the actors at the height of their fame.

What a horrible way to die. :(

Just now, Dolfan in NYC said:

Mark Salling, just FYI, hung himself. 

He was awaiting sentencing on child pornography charges. 

 

Yeah - I decided to not derail the thread with.

I mean I am not sad he is gone... just noting the death of now two Glee people both through their own stupid circumstances
