Some pretty intense photo's of the car after it exploded. They had to use dental records to id them. Walkers friend was driving the Porsche GT....some articles say it was Walkers car but other articles say it was his friends. Either way that Porsche GT is a pretty fast car.

OMG, that is just horrible. They had to have been going at an enormous speed.

Shocking pictures, not a nice way to go..

I loved Running Scared. Great movie.

Anyway, I'll forego the obvious irony jokes about this.

The Daily Mail has updated that in depth article:

Just read Nelson Mandela has died. He was 95. RIP

What a shame; what a great man. RIP

And I think it's the first time ever that a decedent was on every list.

A inspiration to millions and a great man RIP..

Yes, I'm just hearing. Tho not totally shocked I am so sorry to hear it. RIP

The world lost one of his greatest human,a true icon.

Rus in vrede, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

I remember how brutal and vicious the apartheid regime in South Africa was in the 70s and 80s. Despite woldwide condemnation I always thought Mandela was certain to die in prison. That he was eventually released seemed miraculous, but the transformation of the country that he inspired and led defied the wildest dreams.

His willingness to embrace and include those, who had oppressed him for seventy years was astonishing and accelerated the spread of justice, freedom and dignity in his country.

He certainly led an eventful life did he not? One of the modern day generation's true icons. RIP

I guess we have a 3 way tie for 1st place and a 2 way tie for 2nd place. Who's gonna win this morbid game?

Game on then MIG..

Game on DE NIRO!!

Mike Tyson got knocked out and the next day Mandela was released. It was a pretty eventful weekend.

I remember being so excited to see him at Tiger Stadium in 1990.

That must have bee AWESOME, Lilo .

And if I remember correctly, that was about the ONLY thing to get excited about at Tiger Stadium in the early '90s (save for Cecil Fielder, of course).

Peter O'Toole, aged 81, died.

TIS and Danito had picked him on their lists.

A good actor, I'll best remember him for a remark by Groucho Marx; Marx once ended a letter to someone asking, "Did you ever notice that the name Peter O'Toole has a double phallic meaning"?

Sorry to hear it. I know "Lawrence of Arabia" was probably his best known role, but for me, for some reason, I remember O'Toole & Audrey Hepburn in "How To Steal A Million."



TIS

Two of my favorite films of his were The Ruling Class and My Favorite Year.

The films were as different as night and day, but he gave, IMO, Oscar-worthy performances in both.

R.I.P.


Signor V.

Joan Fontaine, one of the last remaining stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, died at age 96.

Don Marco, Mig, TIS and I had picked her for our lists this year.

Tom Laughlin, 82, the actor made famous by his portrayal of "Billy Jack" also died (a few days ago).

SC,

I just now read that story and was about to post it too. I only know him from the Billy Jack films which were really big back in the 70s. Anyone remember the theme song "One Tin Soldier?" How weird that I just heard that song yesterday.

Anyway RIP Tom Laughlin

No comment about Joan Fontaine?

Hey, I babysat this weekend. I'm not all here.

I do remember Joan Fontaine. Tho I can't list, off top of my head, all of her films, my parents were fans. I remember there was a 4:00 "early show" every weekday and many times they aired her movies. And 96 yrs old. Wow!! RIP




TIS

Today has been really bad for Hollywood greats. RIP to all

Looks like SC and DM take the lead with 16 days to go...!

I was making my list for next year, and I noticed that Julie Harris wasn't marked off.

Pretty much...
