Shoot! Sorry about that, I thought I’d checked all the names. Registered at Last also had them. From a big tie for Rush Limbaugh, to a tie for 8th place.

Formula 1 sports commentator Murray Walker has died, aged an impressive 97.

589

Boxing legend Marvin Hagler has died at the age of 66, his wife has announced. (BBC Sports)

590

Marvelous!

No, not that he died. That was his nickname/calling card - Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

591

He’s still alive, but I feel it necessary to point out that as of yesterday, Al Jaffee is officially worth no points.

592

Not just a nickname or calling card. He legally changed his name to Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

593

Well, that is so cool! Happy 100th, Al!!!

594

“Amityville Horror" killer Ronald DeFeo Jr., who was convicted of killing his entire family inside their home in 1974, has died in prison. He was 69.

595

Barbara Rickles, Don Rickles’ widow, dead at 84.

596

She died on what would have been their 56th wedding anniversary

597

Yaphet Kotto at 81. Lots of great movie roles but I’ll always remember him for Homicide: Life on the Street.

598

Harry Dean Stanton
John Hurt
Ian Holm

And now Yaphet Kotto?

It’s like the crew of the Nostromo is being picked off one by one!

599

Racing driver from Germany, Sabine Schmitz, has passed away from cancer, aged 51. Many may know her from her appearances on Top Gear, but she was a champion driver and expert on the Nurburgring.

600

Aww, I liked her. One of my favorite of her appearances on TG was when, after Clarkson raced some supercar around the Nürburgring, she went out and beat his time in a van.

601

Fuck! I don’t know how, but I didn’t know Hurt had died. A serious jolt to me. And pancreatic cancer, that insiduous reaper among cancers.

602

Here’s an excellent link to some videos of her racing (and entertaining) around the “Ring” including the Transit Van episode. She’s in a commercial van passing various sports cars and motorcycles flat out on the track. Amazing - Cancer sucks.Sabine Schmitz, Queen Of The Nürburgring, Is Dead At 51

603

I thought he was a splendid actor, one of the best. I mean, he got an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in a movie where you couldn’t even see his real face. That was Elephant Man. And that was with Anthony Hopkins and John Gielgud in the same picture. Admittedly, the latter was a supporting role, but still…

604
605

He was great. I watched him in all sorts of stuff, from Across 110th Street, to Alien, to Running Man, to Homicide, but I always think of him first as FBI Agent Alonzo Mosely, from Midnight Run.

606

So young! That’s a real shame. She was great.
