Totally missed Arte Johnson; his hereafter line was my single favourite ever from that show (truthfully, one of the few specific lines I remember).

I missed the Leon Kossoff death. I always liked his landscapes more than his figurative stuff, the Willesden Junction studies were brilliant.

Ross Perot, 89

RIP Ross. I wasn't a fan of his politics, but I've worked for years with employees of what was formerly Perot Systems. Their Dallas office doubled as a huge museum of all his wacky paraphernalia. I even saw him wandering the halls one time long after we bought out his company.

I was an adult during both of his campaigns, and the only thing I can remember him saying (before entering the -- second? -- race) is "It's up to the volunteers."

I remember "OK, here's the deal" before he starts talking about something. but that may be from an SNL skit.

Elmer Long, creator of Bottle Tree Ranch in the Mojave desert, last month at 72.

The Tio's Tacos video at the end of this article has nothing to do with Bottle Tree Ranch, but at the halfway point it focuses on the owner's creations. It's in Riverside, which isn't close to BTR.

Rip had a helluva career, from Tennessee Williams to Godard (to playing Judas for Nicholas Ray). I saw him in a Horton Foote play in'97.
But if you live long enough, you get headlines like "Dodgeball Star Dies."

The film is now famous for the improvised fight between Norman Mailer and Rip Torn. As the camera rolled, Torn struck Mailer in the head with a hammer, intending to "kill his character". Mailer's scalp opened up, and a vicious fight ensued. With the camera still rolling, Torn energetically strangled Mailer until the fight was broken up by Mailer's wife, Beverly, and their wailing children. During the melee, Mailer bit off a small chunk of Torn's ear. The fight, in which the actors called each other by their real names, made it into the film. This "Maidstone Brawl" has over 360,000 views on YouTube, despite the film's remaining 101 minutes having less popularity.[11] The fight was later used as evidence in his case against Dennis Hopper, who claimed Rip attacked him with a knife after being replaced by Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider.[19] Rip won his case on the claim that "he could not have possibly killed Hopper as he was, at the time, on the set of Maidstone trying to kill Norman Mailer."[19]

Had no idea Freddie Jones was still alive until a few hours ago, partly cos I kind of didn't recognise him in Emmerdale.
Been frightened of saying this because bad vibes but Hull's own Sheila Mercier is 100 and still alive.
