Peter Wyngarde has passed away at the age of 90, after ‘having been unwell for a couple of months.’ May he rest in peace.

He played Peter Quint in The Innocents (1961), and was Klytus in Flash Gordon (1980). He also appeared in Burn, Witch, Burn (aka Night of the Eagle) (1962), which Comet TV played quite a bit around Halloween last year. For Doctor Who fans, he appeared in Planet of Fire as Timanov.

He was also the inspiration for the appearance of the X-Men villain (particularly the illusion the character used for his likeness during the Dark Phoenix Saga, although I don't know if he used it again) Jason Wyngarde, which explains a lot. I kept thinking the late Wyngarde looked like him in regards to facial hair before I even found that trivia.

(Posting yesterday’s and today’s now, while I have a few minutes between helping with gathering everything we'll need to take to Nashville and locating a hotel that’s actually got a vacancy outside of just Thursday—-and doesn’t have bed bugs. The Bed Bug Registry is incredibly useful with that last bit.

Thank you to everyone that's sent their well wishes.)
