Are you thinking of Richard Todd, who died recently? Or Steve McQueen?

I love fashion so much that I forget that other people don't know who designers are. That's the second Steve McQueen reference I've seen this evening - I guess he's the only McQueen that non-fashionistas have a frame of reference for.

Me too, especially when he stuck to writing about racing. Fabulous "holiday reads", undemanding but engrossing. Oh no!

Former Labour leader Michael Foot.

That just leaves Neil Kinnock for proper-old-school-not-Tory-Mk-II Labour then.

I hated thinking this, but Haim's death wasn't a totally unexpected. You just had a sense he would go out like this. I need to watch Lost Boys this weekend. (My boyfriend's cousin is the non-Corey frog brother.)

There seems to be something about child/teen stars of the 80's having a hard life as they've got older or dying before there time.

Yeah, not unexpected as he's had a problem for years. Still sad though.

Speaking of sad....I'm so sad that I know that the non-Corey Frog brother is Alan Frog and his real name is Jamison Newlander without even having to look it up. (Although I'm not confident I've spelt Jamison correctly).

Cassie, that's not sad. It's cool! You spelled it correctly. He's a really nice guy. The first time I met him I was totally star struck.
