I have a distinct (and apparently false) memory of reading Rolf Harris's obituary about six months ago, even though I barely knew he was then and barely know who he is now.

I follow BFI on Twitter and part of the pleasure I get from it is them linking to onstage chats with visiting Hollywood legends who are always Surprisingly Still Alive. Borgnine was one (super-sharp too); George Kennedy another.
