Nick Cordero has passed away, at the age of 41, due to covid related complications. I had been following this poor man’s saga for a while now. May he finally rest in peace. He was in the hospital for 95 days--6 weeks of that in a medically induced coma--had a leg amputated in addition to many other issues that covid caused, and would have required a double lung transplant.

My thoughts are with his wife and son, and everyone who loved him. I wasn’t familiar with his work before all of this, so I obviously need to track down a couple of his plays.

Ennio Morricone has passed away, at the age of 91, following a fall that occurred a few days ago. May he rest in peace. Not being a fan of westerns, I first heard of him a few years back, when I became interested in his collaboration with Dario Argento for his giallos The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970), The Cat o' Nine Tails (1970), and Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971).

And apart from those, he worked on Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971), A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971), What Have You Done to Solange? (1972) and many, many other giallos.

Italian actress Lucia Bosè has passed away, at the age of 89. She reportedly died from covid-19-induced pneumonia as the pandemic hits Spain. May she rest in peace. I had heard of her before, since I had planned to watch Fellini - Satyricon (1969) at some point in the future. That time is now, evidently. After perusing her filmography, I also need to watch Ceremonia Sangrienta (1973), since she plays Erzebet Bathory there; and another two to locate would be Something Creeping in The Dark (1971), and Arcana (1972).

David Collings passed away suddenly yesterday morning, at the age of 79. May he rest in peace. I had heard the name several times before courtesy of people on the reading list. I watched a few episodes of Sapphire & Steel once when I believe it was Comet TV airing it; unfortunately, I didn't become a fan, and evidently didn’t catch him in the role of Silver.

After checking IMDB, I see he was in a surviving episode of Mystery And Imagination that I have on my external hard drive, but hadn’t watched yet, called The Suicide Club. So I’ll be watching that later.
