Imagine these people meeting with their loved ones, fans and people they have worked with, quite a party, don't you think?

wow
not so on Rod Taylor but its sobering to see Lance Percival was 81!!!

You think of them in their heyday and although you know YOU are getting older you dont catch up with your contemporaries and see they have aged too

I do remember Lance on his TV appearances so its a ????? to see he has passed away

sobering thoughts but may he RIP

Only just seen this!

I loved Rod Taylor!

His 1960 version of The Time Machine is a big favourite of mine. So much better than the remake with Guy Pearce.

I loved the Rod Taylor / Doris Day film- Do Not Disturb :-)

And not to forget the Hitchcock film, THE BIRDS with Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffith's mother)

Saw this just before we went out, so sad that we are losing so many but we do forget how old they are. Rod 84 (he would have been 85 on Sunday) and Lance 81.

Loved Shame and Scandal in the Family - 1 of Lance's calypsos

You Can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"

He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she say, "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know."

Thanks guys for entertaining us. RIP
