“Adrienne Corri, who has died aged 85, was an actor of considerable range and versatility whose career ranged from the high—with Shakespearean roles alongside Ralph Richardson and Alec Guinness—to the decidedly low, including appearances in many quota quickies and low-budget horror movies that showcased her striking red-haired beauty.... Although seen regularly on big and small screens in the 1950s and 60s, Corri is mainly remembered for her participation in the short but notorious gang rape scene from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971).”

Kind of odd that both William Schallert and John Astin outlived Patty.

Beautiful photograph. Sorry to say, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen The Miracle Worker. Kael likes it: "Truffaut's The Wild Child is a more beautifully conceived picture on the same theme, but even with its imperfections and staginess this early Penn film is extraordinary."

Yeah, I've had numerous chances, I just was never sure that I could make it through all the screaming and tantrums. (Totally different, but why I had no interest in Whiplash.) Seeing as it's Arthur Penn, I should give it a chance.

Guilty lol at the comment I just saw elsewhere about him having died after a short illness being exactly the kind of gag that would have been in the news roundup at the end of an episode of the Two Ronnies.

"Something in the Air" is one of the oddest, most brilliant one-shots ever--written by Speedy Keen, checking, but it's the image of Newman that comes to my mind when I think about how visually perverse they were as messengers of the impending revolution.

Really upset about Zaha: the Times sent me to interview her BITD and instead of being arsey and intimidating, she was raucously funny and wore her intelligence with a great deal of style. I'll miss her putting the wind up what can be a very boysy profession.

This is the year that I've realized when you hit a certain age it starts to feel like celebrities are dying more rapidly, because more of them are people you actually know and not old-timey silent movie comedians your parents know.

Cesare Maldini. I saw him in 1997 in Bergamo, near the Atalanta stadium, where we were both headed. Always presumed he was there to check out Inzaghi, who got his first cap shortly after.
