Fonda may have had a topsy turvy career, but along with Dennis Hopper he made a film that changed Hollywood forever! For that alone he'll be remembered.

Dianne Carroll. African American actress whom broke many barriers in Comedies on TV, notably "Room 222"

I remember her more for " Julia " a TV series about a widowed middle aged woman & her son. She was pretty foxy...

Ginger Baker

Drummer from Cream

One of my all time favourite bands

RIP

Remastered albums help with the clarity and you can appreciate a performer even more. 

A brilliant band that lasted barely 2 years i think. Enough time to produce magic! They really were "the cream" of talent...and temperament!

Clive James      RIP

I really liked this guy.

Pim Verbeek 63yrs

Far too young.

Bob Willis - 70, Cricketer, great fast bowler and great commentator when he retired in 1984.

Good football manager 

Carroll Spinney -  50 years of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch

Jim Smith       RIP

A good English football manager

AKA "The Bald Eagle" was QPR manager for a time during the mid 80's. Did really well and had the team playing some great football which they completely forgot about during the 1985/86 Milk Cup Final when Oxford won 3-0. The same comp where Liverpool went out to QPR due to 2 Own Goals in the same semi final match by Liverpool and we also beat Chelsea too in the Q/F

All the poor buggers caught by Whakaari on Monday.

David Bellamey            RIP

Loved his shows.

Rick Bryant, ex-Wellington singer/ songwriter (Windy City Strugglers, Original Sin, Rough Justice, Jubilation Choir) and one time VUW English tutor.  His funeral was held yesterday at St Matthews of the City, Auckland. Big attendance of those Auckland rock & jazz musos still living plus a few up from Wellington. Actress Jennifer Ward-Lealand was the MC as well as singing in the Jubilation Choir and reading extracts of RB's letters, and an 8 piece band also performed 2 RB originals, the old Struggler song Snow on the Desert Rd, and Time. Brother Rod, ex Wngtn journo spoke as did author of NZ music tome Stranded in Paradise, John Dix. Actress Fiona Samuel read a poem from John Donne.

Sir Peter Snell one of my childhood heros  one of New Zealands greatest way ahead of his time.Some of his times would still be winning races today.

Absolute NZ sporting legend. 

John Davies description of the track cinders flying up off Snell's shoes as he stormed to just win in Rome 1960.............what a great finishing kick he had. A real trademark of all 3 of his golds.

Snell one of sports and life's true gentlemen, humble, kind and considerate. I saw him run in 1965 or was it 66? Class athlete.

Love you Sy. The boys said they'd be playing for your tonight and they did right to the end.

That result is for you, I'm just sorry we couldn't watch one last game together as brothers.

My condolences to you and your family Dave. I really liked Sy, was always great for a chat and super friendly, I'll miss him at Nix games.

I got this for you, it was a lovely tribute from the players, Phoenix and Yellow Fever https://streamable.com/ejchn
