[Anatoly Dobrynin](http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-anatoly-dobrynin9-2010apr09,0,2352619.story), who served as Soviet ambassador to the USA during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, has died at the age of 90.

James Aubrey who played Ralph in the 1963 version of Lord of the Flies has died of cancer at the age of 62. Mostly did British TV, so not well known off the island. A fine movie though, and certainly worth watching – after you’ve read the book, of course.

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Wow, surprised to hear this. What’s the cause? “The cause of death currently appears to be heart failure.” I don’t know anything about Steele (other than I’ve never been able to stand his voice) so I could easily be way off base with this, but “heart failure” is generally code for “drug overdose”.
