    His performance in that movie (and maybe Escape from Sobibor) was so good, I've always wondered what it was that stopped him having a meteoric career rather than ending up doing crappy Guiness adverts and low budget shite.

    Cambodia: Senior Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea dies at 93

    Known as 'Brother Number Two', Nuon Chea was convicted of genocide by a UN-backed court last year.

    Khmer Rouge's "Brother Number Two", Nuon Chea, has died aged 93, according to a spokesman for the Cambodia tribunal where he was convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity.

    "We can confirm that defendant Nuon Chea... passed away this evening on 4 August, 2019, at Khmer Soviet Friendship hospital," Neth Pheaktra, a spokesman for the court, said on Sunday.

    The cause of his death was not given, but he had been in the hospital since early July.

    Nuon Chea's wife Ly Kim Seng told AFP news agency that she was by his side until the "last breath", and that his body would be taken to Cambodia's Pailin province for the funeral.

    The Khmer Rouge's rule, led by "Brother Number One", Pol Pot, left some two million Cambodians dead from overwork, starvation and mass executions from 1975 to 1979.

    But Nuon Chea, considered the Khmer Rouge's chief ideologue, was not arrested until 2007.

    He and other senior members of the ultra-Maoist group were put on trial at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia.

    The United Nations-backed court sentenced him to life in prison last year after he was found guilty of genocide against the ethnic Vietnamese and Cham Muslim minority group.

    His lawyers had informed the court that Nuon Chea would appeal, but prosecutors are now expected to ask the Supreme Court chamber to terminate his case following his death, according to a court official.

    Nuon Chea and the sole surviving defendant on trial, Khieu Samphan, were previously handed life sentences in 2014 over the forced evacuation of Phnom Penh in 1975, when Khmer Rouge troops drove the population of the capital into the countryside.

    The revolutionaries who tried to recreate Buddhist-majority Cambodia into an agrarian Marxist utopia attempted to abolish class while targeting religious groups and the educated.

    The hybrid court, which uses a mix of Cambodian and international law, was created with the UN backing in 2006 to try senior Khmer Rouge leaders.

    It has convicted only three people so far and cost more than $300m.

    Former Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary and his wife died without facing justice, while Pol Pot passed away in 1998.

    Prime Minister Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge cadre, has warned against future investigations, claiming it would plunge the country into chaos.

    Tribunal watchers believe that the last year's ruling will be the final verdict, raising questions about the court's legacy in a country where many are too young to remember the Khmer Rouge.

    Late on Sunday, police stood guard outside the geriatric centre at the Khmer Soviet Friendship hospital in the Cambodian capital while reporters gathered outside.

    Youk Chhang, the head of the country's pre-eminent Khmer Rouge archive, the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, said Nuon Chea was "born innocent but he committed sin and so he died with sin".

    "The crimes he has committed will always be a lesson for us all in the future."

    Wasn't it better that Pol Pot died fast by "a natural cause" in a hut somewhere in Thai borderland and immediately cremated?

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Peter Fonda, the son of a Hollywood legend who became a movie star in his own right after both writing and starring in the counter-culture classic "Easy Rider," died Friday at his home of complications from lung cancer. He was 79.

    "I am very sad," Jane Fonda said in a statement. "He was my sweet-hearted baby brother. The talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing."

    Born into Hollywood royalty as Henry Fonda's only son, Peter Fonda carved his own path with his non-conformist tendencies and earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing the psychedelic road trip movie "Easy Rider." He would never win that golden statuette, but he would later be nominated for his leading performance as a Vietnam veteran and widowed beekeeper in "Ulee's Gold."

    Fonda was born in New York in 1940 to parents whose personas were the very opposite of the rebellious images their kids would cultivate. Father Henry Fonda was already a Hollywood giant, known for playing straight-shooting cowboys and soldiers. Mother Frances Ford Seymour was a Canadian-born U.S. socialite.

    He was only 10 years old when his mother died. She had a nervous breakdown after learning of her husband's affair and was confined to a hospital. In 1950, she killed herself. It would be about five years before Peter Fonda learned the truth behind her death.

    Fonda accidentally shot himself and nearly died on his 11th birthday. It was a story he told often, including during an acid trip with members of The Beatles and The Byrds during which Fonda reportedly said, "I know what it's like to be dead."

    John Lennon would use the line in The Beatles song "She Said She Said."

    Fonda went to private schools in Massachusetts and Connecticut as a child, moving on to the University of Nebraska in his father's home state, joining the same acting group — the Omaha Community Playhouse — where Henry Fonda got his start.

    He then returned to New York and joined the Cecilwood Theatre, getting small roles on Broadway and guest parts on television shows including "Naked City" and "Wagon Train."

    Fonda had an estranged relationship with his father throughout most of his life, but he said that they grew closer over the years before Henry Fonda died in 1982.

    "Peter is all deep sweetness, kind and sensitive to his core. He would never intentionally harm anything or anyone. In fact, he once argued with me that vegetables had souls (it was the '60s)," his sister Jane Fonda said in her 2005 memoir. "He has a strange, complex mind that grasps and hangs on to details ranging from the minutiae of his childhood to cosmic matters, with a staggering amount in between. Dad couldn't appreciate and nurture Peter's sensitivity, couldn't see him as he was. Instead he tried to shame Peter into his own image of stoic independence."

    Although Peter never achieved the status of his father or even his older sister, the impact of "Easy Rider," which just celebrated its 50th anniversary, was enough to cement his place in popular culture.

    Fonda collaborated with another struggling young actor, Dennis Hopper, on the script about two weed-smoking, drug-slinging bikers on a trip through the Southwest as they make their way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

    On the way, Fonda and Hopper befriend a drunken young lawyer — Jack Nicholson in a breakout role — but raise the dander of Southern rednecks and are murdered before they can return home.

    Fonda's character Wyatt wore a stars-and-stripes helmet and rode a motorcycle called "Captain America," re-purposing traditional images for the counter-culture.

    Actress Illeana Douglas tweeted her condolences Friday with the hashtag "RIPCaptainAmerica."

    "'Easy Rider' depicted the rise of hippie culture, condemned the establishment, and celebrated freedom," Douglas wrote. "Peter Fonda embodied those values and instilled them in a generation."

    Fonda had played bikers before "Easy Rider." In the 1966 Roger Corman-directed "Wild Angels," in which he plays Heavenly Blues, leader of a band of Hells Angels, Fonda delivers a speech that could've served as both a personal mantra and a manifesto for the youth of the '60s.

    "We wanna be free!" Fonda tells a preacher in the film. "We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man! And we wanna get loaded!"

    Fonda produced "Easy Rider" and Hopper directed it for a meager $380,000. It went on to gross $40 million worldwide, a substantial sum for its time.

    The film was a hit at Cannes, netted a best screenplay Oscar nomination for Fonda, Hopper and Terry Southern, and has since been listed on the American Film Institute's ranking of the top 100 American films. The establishment gave its official blessing in 1998 when "Easy Rider" was included in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

    In 1969, he told The Associated Press that, "As for my generation, it was time they started doing their own speaking. There has been too much of the 'silent majority' — at both ends of the generation gap."

    He did reflect later in a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it may have impacted his career prospects: "It certainly put a nail in the coffin of 'the next Dean Jones at Disney.' "

    Fonda's output may have been prolific, but he was not always well-regarded, which he was acutely aware of. But he said that "Ulee's Gold," which came out in 1997, was the "most fun" he'd ever had making a movie. He wore the same wire-rimmed glasses his father wore in "On Golden Pond," although he said beyond that he was not channeling Henry Fonda in the performance. He lost out on the Oscar to Nicholson, who won for "As Good as It Gets."

    Nicholson said in his acceptance speech that it as an honor to be nominated alongside "my old bike pal Fonda."

    He remained prolific for the rest of his life with notable performances as the heel in Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey," from 1999, and in James Mangold's 2007 update of "3:10 to Yuma." He'd even play himself in an episode of the spoof documentary series "Documentary Now!" about life as "an Oscar Bridesmaid."

    Fonda is survived by his third wife, Margaret DeVogelaere, his daughter, actress Bridget Fonda and son, Justin, both from his first marriage to Susan Brewer.

    "In one of the saddest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our hearts," the family said in a statement. "As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy."

    Another c u n t who deserves little more than a mention. Hopefully burning in hell and hopefully his brother won't be far behind him.

    Billionaire David Koch, who along with his older brother was a formidable conservative activist and donor for decades, died Friday morning at age 79.

    Why? Everyone knows what they did was just a result of a conservative majority on SCOTUS.

    One of the greatest pieces of airmanship in the history of civil aviation.

    Al Haynes, Pilot From Miraculous 1989 Crash Landing, Has Died


    The RIP Famous Person Thread-ap_900719067-3ded01dbb128338d495b911d15563b82ad26d636-s1600-c85-jpg

    A pilot who is credited with saving dozens of lives has died. United Flight 232 went into total hydraulic failure while Al Haynes was at the controls in 1989. With the help of three other pilots, he maneuvered the DC-10 to a miraculous crash landing in Sioux City, Iowa, and 184 of the 296 people on board survived.

    Haynes is widely seen as a hero among aviation experts, akin to Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and his "miracle on the Hudson." Haynes' son Dan confirmed to NPR that his father had died.

    Haynes was in the middle of the flight from Denver to Chicago when an engine suddenly failed. Shortly after that, First Officer Bill Records said he was unable to control the aircraft, as Haynes later recounted to New York magazine.

    "I thought to myself, How are we going to keep this thing in the sky? You don't train or drill for something like this, because it's just not supposed to happen," he said. The hydraulic system — the way that pilots steer — was down. Haynes and his colleagues were desperately trying to use the throttles and thrust as a crude way to control the aircraft. A pilot who happened to be flying as a passenger on the plane jumped in to manipulate the thrusters.

    The team was aiming to touch down in Sioux City. After about 45 minutes of tense maneuvering, Haynes got on the loudspeaker.

    "I'm not going to kid you," he said to the passengers, as he told New York. "We're going to make an emergency landing in Sioux City. ... It's going to be a very hard landing, harder than anything you've been through. Please pay close attention to the flight attendants' briefing, and we'll see you in Sioux City."

    The plane touched down with no brakes or spoilers. The cockpit crew lowered the landing gear to try to absorb the shock of landing, Haynes told New York. When it did land, one of the plane's wings caught the ground and sent the craft cartwheeling down the runway. "I was knocked out after we hit, and I came to in the crash site," said Haynes.

    NPR's Howard Berkes was at the scene of the crash in 1989 and described the wreckage.

    "There's one particular pile of aluminum — at least, that's what it looks like, an unruly stack of crumpled aluminum," he said. "Well, that's actually the cockpit of the plane. It doesn't resemble a cockpit or anything else for that matter. And one of the amazing facts about this whole tragedy is ... that three people — the cockpit crew — were found alive in that pile of junk."


    Haynes told New York that he felt guilty about surviving the crash in which 112 people died.

    But the fact that anyone survived is viewed as miraculous. Other pilots have attempted the landing in simulations. As Berkes reported, United pilot Mike Hamilton told The Associated Press that he's "not aware of any that replicated the success these guys had. ... Most of the simulations never made it close to the ground."

    In its official accident report, the NTSB said that on a fan disk, there was a "fatigue crack" stemming from a defect in a "critical area." The disk disintegrated during the flight, which resulted in debris that impacted the plane's flight controls.

    Haynes retired in 1991 after working for United Airlines for 35 years, according to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

    In Seattle, the museum added, he was "a volunteer umpire for Little League Baseball for over 33 years and a stadium announcer for high school football for over 25 years."

    I'm glad you recognized Al Haynes. He and the pilots with him did an incredible job through their skills minimizing the number of deaths on that aviation disaster day.

    Must be one of the most recognisable unknown faces in history.

    Detective handcuffed to Lee Harvey Oswald when he was fatally shot dies at 99


    The RIP Famous Person Thread-jim-leavelle-jpg

    The Texas police officer handcuffed to Lee Harvey Oswald when he was fatally shot at Dallas police headquarters two days after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Thursday at age 99, according to family.


    Former Dallas police Detective Jim Leavelle was transporting Oswald to the Dallas County Jail when the assassin was suddenly shot on live television by nightclub owner and police informant Jack Ruby at point-blank range on Nov. 24, 1963.

    Karla Leavelle, daughter of the retired detective, confirmed her father’s death to
    FOX 4 Dallas.


    In addition to the television footage, historic photos show Leavelle wearing a light-colored suit and matching cowboy hat as a bullet whizzes into Oswald, who later died from the gunshot wound.

    Valerie Harper, ‘Rhoda’ in Hit ’70s Television Shows, Dies at 80


    The RIP Famous Person Thread-valerie-harper-2015-jpg


    (Bloomberg) -- Valerie Harper, whose work on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” earned a spinoff program for her character, the outspoken New Yorker Rhoda Morgenstern, has died. She was 80.


    Harper, who turned 80 just over a week ago, died Friday morning after battling cancer, her husband Tony Cacciotti said through their daughter Cristina’s Twitter account. People magazine reported in March 2013 that Harper, who overcame lung cancer in 2009, had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

    “I don’t think of dying,” Harper said, according to the magazine. “I think of being here now.”


    With a background in dance and theater, Harper struck gold quickly after giving television a try, landing the role of the neurotic upstairs neighbor and best friend of Mary Tyler Moore on her CBS-TV situation comedy. Moore died in 2017.


    Her death drew tributes from all generations of Hollywood, from Beth Behrs, who recalled their screen time in “2 Broke Girls,” to Ed Asner, who played the character Lou Grant in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”


    Moore’s Mary Richards became a defining television character of the 1970s, a plucky woman who leaves behind a failed romance to conquer single life and a male-dominated workplace as a producer at a television station in Minneapolis. Harper’s acerbic Morgenstern, bohemian-chic in her head wraps, struggled with more prosaic worries such as her weight.


    “Rhoda was, like most of us, a victorious loser,” Harper said in a 2009 interview with the Archive of American Television. “She thought of herself as a loser but she kept at the game, she kept in the game of life, fully.”


    Creating Rhoda


    Protestant-raised and Catholic-educated, Harper said her character’s New York-Jewish mannerisms and speaking style were based on her stepmother, an Italian-American from East Harlem, and on a Jewish dancer friend from Brooklyn.


    Rhoda “would say things in a New York, brash, no-edit way that’s funny, and I think that was part of her charm,” Harper said. “I liked her a lot, and I loved playing her.”


    Harper won an Emmy Award for best supporting actress in 1971, 1972 and 1973 and was nominated again in 1974.


    She kept up her winning ways after her spinoff, “Rhoda,” joined the CBS lineup in 1974. She won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy in 1975 and was nominated in 1976, 1977 and 1978.


    The series had Harper’s Morgenstern return to New York City from Minneapolis and fall in love with a divorced father, Joe Gerard, played by David Groh, who died in 2008. Rhoda and Joe married in one of the most-watched episodes in television history, only to separate and divorce toward the end of the show’s five-year run.


    ‘Valerie’ Lawsuit


    Another Harper-centered sitcom, “Valerie,” debuted on NBC-TV in 1986. Harper left the series after the second season due to a contract dispute and was replaced by Sandy Duncan. In 1988, a jury in Los Angeles found Lorimar Telepictures Corp. had wrongfully fired Harper and awarded her and her husband, a producer on the show, $1.85 million in damages plus 12.5% of profits from the 1987-1988 season.


    After the verdict, according to the Los Angeles Times, Harper said her victory showed that actors shouldn’t “enter into gentlemen’s agreements with people who are not gentlemen.”


    Valerie Kathryn Harper was born on Aug. 22, 1939, in Suffern, New York, one of three children of Howard Harper, a lighting salesman, and the former Iva McConnell, a nurse. For her father’s job, the family moved every few years, from Massachusetts to New Jersey to California to Michigan to Oregon and then back to New Jersey, where Harper attended Lincoln High School in Jersey City.


    Ballet, Broadway


    She studied ballet and finished her high school degree in New York City, danced at Radio City Music Hall and on Broadway in shows including “Take Me Along,” with Jackie Gleason, and “Wildcat,” with Lucille Ball.


    She married fellow actor Richard Schaal and, with his daughter from an earlier marriage, Wendy Schaal, moved to Los Angeles to find work in movies and television. Ethel Winant, head of casting for CBS, saw her perform in a play and asked her to try out for the role of Rhoda on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”


    In 2010, Harper was nominated for a Tony Award for her portrayal of the actress and Southern tigress Tallulah Bankhead in “Looped.”


    She and Schaal divorced in 1978. In 1987, she married producer Cacciotti, and they adopted their daughter, Cristina.


    Cacciotti said on Harper’s Facebook page last month that he couldn’t put her in hospice care, going against the advice of doctors, because of more than four decades of “shared commitment to each other.”

    He was a mate of Arnold Schwarzenegger and appeared as a minor character in several of his films.

    Respect.

    I would have liked a few beers with him.

    According to Wikipedia he was 78 and swimming in the ocean. Looking around me I see dead people walking.

    I am a cynical bastard.

    Another parasite who doesn't deserve much more than a mention.

    Rot in hell Robert Mugabe.


    Robert Mugabe, former prime minister and president of Zimbabwe whose rule was mired in accusations of human rights abuses and corruption, has died aged 95.

    His 40-year leadership of the former British colony was marked with bloodshed, persecution of political opponents and vote-rigging on a large scale.

    Funny old world, a couple or few years back that news probably would've been met with partying in the streets in some quarters.

    The reactions are a lot more muted today.
