De van oorsprong Oostenrijkse Hollywoodacteur Maximilian Schell is in de nacht van vrijdag op zaterdag op 83-jarige leeftijd overleden.

De acteur kreeg in 1962 de Oscar voor beste acteur voor zijn rol in de film Judgement at Nuremberg. Hij overleed in een ziekenhuis in Innsbruck aan een longaandoening, meldde de Duitse publieke omroep ARD zaterdag.

Schell is een van de bekendste Duitssprekende acteurs die in de Amerikaanse filmindustrie naam maakte. Hij speelde onder meer in de klassieker A Bridge Too Far (1977), een oorlogsfilm over de mislukte geallieerde landing bij Arnhem in 1944.

Ook speelde hij in de film Left Luggage (1998) van regisseur Jeroen Krabbé.

Aangepast, want ik denk niet dat ze als volwassene een uitzonderlijk talent was. Wel een van de populairste (misschien wel HET populairste) kindsterretjes.

Hollywood legend Harold Ramis -- famous for his films "Caddyshack," "Ghostbusters," "Groundhog Day," and "Animal House" -- has died.

According to his family, the writer-director passed away early this morning at his Chicago home from complications stemming from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease involving the swelling of blood vessels. He was surrounded by his family.

Ramis was 69. He is survived by his wife Erica, his sons Julian and Daniel, his daughter Violet, and two grandchildren.

Ramis began suffering from health issues related to his autoimmune disease in 2010.

In addition to "Caddyshack" and others, the comedy legend directed "National Lampoon's Vacation," "Analyze This" and several other films. He also wrote sequels to his films, like "Ghostbusters 2" and "Caddyshack 2."

Maar inderdaad, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Stripes, die man is verantwoordelijk voor een aantal van mijn favoriete films.
Heeft wel wat weg van John Hughes, wiens dood trouwens nauwelijks aandacht kreeg.
Jaren '80 waren goede jaren voor de filmwereld.

Hal Douglas, who lent his vocal gravitas to hundreds of movie trailers in his long career as a voiceover artist, died March 7 at his home in Lovettsville, Va. He was 89 and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2010. In October, he suffered a stroke, losing most of his ability to speak.

He was among the top voiceover artists of a generation, creating a career based on a rich baritone speaking voice that ranged from biblically epic to theatrically cheesy.

His work on trailers was eclectic, ranging from the somber “Philadelphia” to the comedic, including “Meet the Parents.”

He provided the voice-over narration for Kevin Costner’s 1995 epic “Waterworld” and for HBO’s “First Look” movie docu series in the late 1990s.

Douglas was featured on-camera in a handful of projects, including Jerry Seinfeld’s 2002 documentary “Comedian,” in which he riffed on his aural celebrity. In the 2002 film, he takes his place in a recording booth and launches into a trademark trailer opening, “In a world where…” — only to be cut short repeatedly by a director.

The campy “In a world …” phrase was credited to Don LaFontaine, another voice-over great, she said.

Despite his lifelong connection to Hollywood, Douglas worked primarily from New York. The last 15 years he had worked from the horse farm he shared with his wife in northern Virginia.

Douglas grew up in Connecticut. He spent three years in the Navy during WWII, and studied acting at U. of Miami after the war, according to the New York Times. He later moved to New York to pursue acting gigs and wound up landing radio and TV voiceover work.

Douglas is survived by his wife of 43 years, Ruth, and two sons.

The industry veteran, who passed away at home on Friday, played memorable supporting characters on film and TV.
James Rebhorn, the busy character actor who played the father of Claire Danes' troubled CIA officer Carrie Mathison on the Showtime drama Homeland, has died. He passed away on Friday, his agent Dianne Busch confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 65.
"He died from melanoma, which had been diagnosed in 1992," Busch stated. "He fought it all this time. He died Friday afternoon at his home in New Jersey, where he had been receiving hospice care for a week and a half."
Rebhorn also had a recent recurring role on the USA Network hit White Collar as Special Agent Reese Hughes, head of the FBI's Manhattan white-collar crime unit.

During his prolific five-decade career, the Philadelphia native also was memorable as the district attorney that sent Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer to jail on the Seinfeld finale in 1998 and as the prosecution’s FBI expert automotive witness in the hilarious film My Cousin Vinny (1992). He also had stints as attorneys on the David E. Kelley shows The Practice and Boston Legal and recurring roles on Third Watch, The Book of Daniel, Law & Order and Big Lake.
Rebhorn played the school's headmaster Mr. Trask in Scent of a Woman (1992) and was President Signoff in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000).

His vast film résumé also includes Silkwood (1983), The House on Carroll Street (1988), Desperate Hours (1990), Regarding Henry (1991), Shadows and Fog (1991), Basic Instinct (1992), Lorenzo's Oil (1992), Guarding Tess (1994), Independence Day (1996), The Game (1997), The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Snow Falling on Cedars (1999), Meet the Parents (2000), Far From Heaven (2002), Cold Mountain (2003), Real Steel (2011) and The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012).

Rebhorn was a mainstay of the Roundabout Theatre Company and most recently starred as a father stricken with Alzheimer's in Too Much, Too Much, Too Many, which opened in November at the Black Box Theatre in New York.
He appeared onstage in the original production of I'm Not Rappaport in 1985 and in the revivals of Our Town, The Man Who Had All the Luck, Dinner at Eight, Twelve Angry Men and Prelude to a Kiss.
He also was seen on the TV shows Kate & Allie, The Equalizer, Wiseguy, Enlightened and 30 Rock.

"USA Network is deeply saddened about the passing of James Rebhorn, who so brilliantly played Reese Hughes on White Collar. Our sympathies go out to his family, friends and loved ones," the TV network said in a statement.

Rebhorn is survived by his wife, Rebecca, and daughters Hanna and Emma.

British actress Kate O'Mara, best known for her role on the 1980s soap opera Dynasty, died Sunday at the age of 74, her agent said.

Phil Belfield said O'Mara died in a nursing home in southern England after a short illness.

The actress, who began her television career in the 1960s, became a household name for playing Cassandra "Caress" Morrell, sister to Joan Collins' Alexis Colby, on Dynasty.

In Britain she is often remembered for her role in Triangle – a soap opera set aboard a North Sea ferry that is often cited as the worst piece of British television.

She also appeared in the original run of British series Doctor Who and BBC drama Howards' Way. In the 1990s she starred in the comedy show Absolutely Fabulous with Joanna Lumley.

More recently she appeared in a 2012 stage adaptation of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile.

She is survived by her sister, actress Belinda Carroll.
