Like Gene Hackman, a consumate professional. They don't make them like this anymore.
I could watch him in anything.
A moving "in memoriam" section at the BAFTAs last night with Jessie Ware singing "The Way We Were" interspersed with iconic acting moments from the likes of Diane Keaton, Terence Stamp, Robert Redford, Val Kilmer.
It's about 70 minutes into the broadcast.

Not sure if this counts as a notable person but for me it was someone who I admired for their dedication to doing some good in providing a daily weather forecast on Boards.ie under an anonymous account, a totally selfless act and will be missed. RIP M.T. Cranium.
Small in stature but a giant as a songwriter, performer, collaborator, and recording artist, he lit the world up for decades. RIP Neil from a big fan.

The story of how 10cc helped Neil Sedaka re-launch his career in 1973 is the stuff of music legend.
According to former BBC presenter Danny Baker, Sedaka was at a bit of a low in his career with his best years behind him. He was touring those big working men's clubs in the north of England playing his early hits when he got together with Graham Gouldman who he'd met in New York earlier.
Along with the rest of 10cc he recorded two albums in their Strawberry Studios in Stockport resulting in hits like 'Solitare', 'This Will Be Our Last Song Together', 'Standing On The Inside', 'Love Will Keep Us Together' and more.
(I see the drummer on those sessions - Kevin Godley - around occasionally and was introduced to him once through a friend. He lived in Wicklow for years and now residing in South Dublin. )
