Barry Humphries
John Barry Humphries AO CBE (17 February 1934 – 22 April 2023) was an Australian comedian, actor, author, and satirist. He was best known for writing and playing his stage and television characters Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson. For his delivery of Dadaist and absurdist humour to millions, his biographer Anne Pender described Humphries in 2010 as not only "the most significant theatrical figure of our time … [but] the most significant comedian to emerge since Charlie Chaplin".
In my own estimation Barry was really funny, and will be sorely missed. |

Kelly Monteith
Kelly Monteith, who has died aged 80, was one of the first American standup comedians to get his own show on British television. Titled simply Kelly Monteith and running on the BBC for six series between 1979 and 1984, it featured the star playing an exaggerated version of himself, offering wry observations on aspects of daily life, such as ageing, moving house and smoking, or the idea that single men have more fun than married ones.
KM died a while ago Jan 1st 2023 to be exact and has not been mentioned here as far as I can see so I wanted to just post this as the guy for me was great when growing up, good clean fun. |

Helmut Berger
Helmut Berger 29 May 1944 - 18 May 2023 Austrian actor Helmut Berger, movie star in the 1960s and 1970s, dies at 78 BERLIN (AP) — Austrian-born actor Helmut Berger, a European movie star in the 1960s and 1970s who rose to prominence with roles in films by Italian director Luchino Visconti, died Thursday, his agent said. He was 78. Berger died “peacefully but nevertheless unexpectedly” early Thursday in his home city of Salzburg, agent Helmut Berger wrote on his management company’s website. Berger was born in Bad Ischl, Austria on May 29, 1944. In 1964, he worked as a film extra in Rome before being discovered by Visconti, who would later become his partner and in 1966 gave him his first role. He played prominent roles in Visconti’s “The Damned,” “Ludwig” and “Conversation Piece.” Berger’s credits also included appearances in Vittorio De Sica’s “The Garden of the Finzi-Continis,” Massimo Dallamano’s “Dorian Gray,” and, later, in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather Part III.” After a string of health problems, Berger announced the end of his acting career in November 2019. Berger’s agent said that “he enjoyed his motto ‘La Dolce Vita’ to the full all his life.” He quoted Berger as saying many years ago: “I have lived three lives, and in four languages! Je ne regrette rien!” Source: AP News |

His wife, Monique Brown, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement posted to Instagram this morning. Brown led the NFL in rushing in eight of his nine career seasons. "It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my husband, Jim Brown," Monique said in her statement this Friday. "He passed peacefully last night at our LA home. To the world he was an activist, actor, and football star. To our family, he was a loving and wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts are broken..." Brown was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971 after a nine-year career in Cleveland. He'll be remembered as one of the best players in football history. Our condolences go out to the Brown family during this incredibly difficult time. |

Pete Brown, Co-Writer of Cream Classics, Dead at 82
Rolling Stone yahoo.com Daniel Kreps May 21, 2023 Pete Brown, the British poet and singer who helped co-write some of Cream’s most enduring songs — including “White Room” and “Sunshine of Your Love” — has died at the age of 82. Brown’s death Friday following “a courageous battle with cancer” was announced on his official Facebook page. “Brown started his artistic career as a Beat Poet in the late 1950s,” the statement notes. “By the mid 1960s he had sold out The Royal Albert Hall with both his British and American contemporaries including Alan Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Michael Horowitz at the poetry happening Wholly Communion.” Brown’s work with the First Real Poetry Band, featuring legendary jazz guitarist John McLaughlin, brought him to the attention of Cream drummer Ginger Baker, who enlisted Brown as a writing partner ahead of the supergroup’s 1966 debut album Fresh Cream. Brown instead found better chemistry working with bassist Jack Bruce, first resulting in the single “I Feel Free.” Over the course of Cream’s next three albums, Brown continued to contribute lyrics to what became some of Cream’s best-known songs: “Sunshine of Your Love,” “SWALBR,” “White Room,” “Politician,” “Deserted Cities of the Heart,” and “Doing That Scrapyard Thing.” Both “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room” were later named to Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. As Brown later revealed, the “white room” was where he lived after a period of semi-homelessness, and where he both kicked his drug and alcohol issues as well as honed his poetry toward songwriting. “Jack had more or less the music of ‘White Room,’ and we tried a few lyrics, and none of them had worked,” Brown said in a documentary about the song. “And then I thought about this poem that I had and it was an eight-page poem, and I thought if I cut that down to one page, it might be the right thing for it.” “While he continued to work with Jack Bruce for another 45 years after the breakup of Cream in 1968, with songs including ‘Folk Song’ and ‘Theme for an Imaginary Western,’ he also pursued a music career in his own right as a singer/songwriter, becoming a cult figure with bands including Piblokto, The Battered Ornaments, Bond and Brown (with Graham Bond and Dick Heckstall-Smith), The Interoceters and Psoulchedelia,” the statement continued. The family of the late Jack Bruce tweeted Saturday, “We are extremely saddened to learn of the death of Jack’s long term friend and writing partner Pete Brown who passed away last night. We extend our sincere condolences to Pete’s wife Sheridan and Pete’s children as well as all his family and friends.” |
