“Que Sera, Sera” wasn’t in “The Glass-Bottom Boat”, it was in Hitchcock’s “The Man Who Knew Too Much”, starring her and James Stewart – a bona fide spy movie,

In the Hitchcock film first, of course - after that it became her signature tune, and _did_ appear in TGBB in 1966 (I’ve managed to sit through that little epic twice).

Paul Darrow, the British actor, has died aged 78. As well as appearing in Blakes 7 and Dr Who, he was the voice of the doctor who evaluates Bond’s condition in DAD (“Liver not too good - definitely him then”}

It’s not Bond, but I thought a word of gratitude would be appropriate for all those that died on the beaches of D Day and the survivors that have since died.

Something to add to that - my Dad is a Vietnam vet, and every Memorial Day (for those outside the States it was a week ago) he goes to a memorial service in town.

He said this was the first year they had no one there from WWII…

That’s sad. Pretty sure I saw him at Stratford in - tempted to say Julius Caesar but was a few years (decades, ulp) back now. One of those folks who popped up in good things that made me happy. Ah well.

Yes, indeed. I think I saw him also in an episode of The Persuaders as one of the bad guys.

That great speech in _Bladerunner_ was actually written by Rutger Hauer on set:

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

And I was just thinking about Rip Torn while watching the late night shows. Best side-kick in late night, fictional or otherwise.

David Hedison I met at a Wonder-Con in San Francisco nearly ten years ago. Had a picture of me with him, but that was four phones ago. Loved his Felix Leiter.

Rutger Hauer, our most famous and probably best actor in The Netherlands.  
As a kid I saw him on the televion in the adventures series Floris (a kind of Dutch Ivanhoe) and later in famous Dutch movies like Turks Fruit (aka Turkisch Delight) and Soldaat van Oranje (Soldier of Orange) both directed by later famous director Paul Verhoeven, who also directed Floris. He became too big for our little country and he went to America and there he was starring in movies like Flesh + Blood (again from Verhoeven) a kind of adult Floris version of the Middle Ages and ofcourse in international famous movies like Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Night Hawks (opposite Stallone), The Osterman Weekend, Wanted Death or Alive, Ladyhawke, Blind Fury, to name a few and more recentely in Hobo with a shotgun (which is a completely crazy movie). He had also cameo’s in Batman Begins and Sin City.

A truly great actor and a gentleman.

R.I.P. Mr. Hauer.

He was an absolute genius whose films I sought out, whatever their pedigree or reception. Whether hero or villain his charisma made every role entrancing and magical.

I’ll sorely miss that rush of excitement at the news he’s among the cast of a forthcoming production.

And of course he’s imho the greatest Bond villain that never was.

He also would’ve made a great M. As it is, his slimeball businessman role from Batman Begins is similar to a Bond villain.
