David Prowse, the English actor who played Darth Vader in the original Star Wars films, has died aged 85, his management company said on Sunday.
“It’s with great regret and heart-wrenching sadness for us and million of fans around the world, to announce that Dave Prowse MBE has passed away at the age of 85,” Bowington Management said in a statement on Twitter.
The champion weightlifter-turned-actor starred as the body, but not the voice, of one of cinema’s best-known villains.
Director George Lucas opted to dub another voice onto Prowse’s portrayal of the towering, masked antagonist Darth Vader in “Star Wars”, “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi”.

From the football field to the film lots, Bernie Casey left an indelible impression with a presence that couldn't be ignored, and we're sad to share the news that the actor has passed away at the age of 78.
According to multiple outlets, including THR, Casey passed away after a "brief illness" at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Before he entered the world of movies, Casey was a star in his own right as a track and field standout at Bowling Green State University. After making it to the finals of the 1960 United States Olympic Trials, Casey was a first round draft pick for the San Francisco 49ers and would go on to play eight years in the NFL as a wide receiver, raking in 40 touchdowns and over 5,000 receiving yards.

Whether you knew him as Brett from Alien, Brain from Escape from New York, Travis Henderson from Paris, Texas, or Carl Rodd from Twin Peaks, Harry Dean Stanton has been a beloved fixture of cinema for decades. Stanton is one of the reasons why they say, "They don't make them like that anymore." In fact, I don't think they ever made them like him, which is why it is with especially heavy hearts that we share the news of Harry's passing at the age of 91.
The news of Stanton's passing comes from multiple sources, with Variety reporting that the actor died of "natural causes" in Los Angeles on Friday.
Stanton was a tremendous character actor, but he was ultimately a unique character unto himself. He had a no B.S. approach to his roles that made you completely invest in his characters because he was completely invested in his characters.

Of all the visionary voices in 20th century horror, his was certainly one of the boldest, so it is with an especially deep sadness that we share the news that filmmaker Tobe Hooper has passed away at the age of 74.
Multiple outlets are reporting the news of Hooper's passing, including Variety, although the cause of death has not been announced at this time. Hooper passed away on August 26th in Sherman Oaks, California.
Few filmmakers left such an indelible mark on the horror genre as Hooper, who pushed boundaries and captured fear on screen like never before in 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which introduced viewers to the cannibalistic Sawyer clan and their chainsaw-wielding human butcher, Leatherface. Over forty years later, few films have matched the raw power and primal fear of Hooper's audacious 1974 horror film.

For decades, he brought life to perhaps the most iconic creature in cinema, so it is with great sadness that we share the news of Haruo Nakajima's passing at the age of 88.
Haruo Nakajima's daughter Sonoe Nakajima told the Associated Press that her father passed away of pneumonia on Monday, August 7th.
An actor and stuntman, Nakajima first donned the rubber reptile suit in 1954's Godzilla, the first film in what would become an enduring franchise that is still going strong today. His movements in the suit helped humanize the monster on screen, even as he rampaged through the streets of Tokyo, toppling skyscrapers and taking on other creatures who threatened Earth. The monster the human characters at first feared eventually became their savior, and Nakajima played a huge part in building that empathy.
Nakajima last played Godzilla in 1972's Godzilla vs. Gigan, his twelfth film as the titular creature.

The team here at Daily Dead is incredibly saddened to share the news that George A. Romero, the Godfather of the Living Dead, has passed away at the age of 77.
According to a statement provided to the La Times from Romero's producing partner, Peter Grunwald, Romero passed away after a “brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer." He was with his family at the time of his passing, and was listening to the score to 1952's The Quiet Man, one of his favorite films.
Romero's influence on the horror genre is both immortal and immeasurable. His 1968 film Night of the Living Dead invented the modern zombie as we know it, paving the way for countless films and shows like The Walking Dead.
His films—both the living dead ones and otherwise—always had a lot on their minds and intriguingly reflected and commented on pressing societal issues. He...

Mike Connors passed away today of leukemia at a hospital in Tarzana, CA. He was 91.
Connors is best known for his role as Joe Mannix on the CBS series Mannix that ran from 1967-1975.
He was good guy, a private detective who could take a punch like none other.
Kreker J. Ohanian was born in Fresno, California in 1925. Of Armenian descent, the actor was told to change his name because it sounded too much like George O'Hanlon.
Connors began his film and television career in 1952 under the name Touch (a nickname he earned in college) Connors.
Early on in the 1950s, he had a bevy of small roles in westerns such as Gun Smoke, Have Gun, Will Travel and Maverick.
In 1959, Connors got his first series regular role in Tightrope.
Tightrope was originally going to be called Undercover Man, and that makes sense. Connor's character was an undercover agent who...

One of the most appealing things about Days of Our Lives used to be how strong the women were.
Kayla, Jennifer, and Hope were women with careers of their own who accompanied their husbands on adventures and weren't afraid to stand up for their partners when family members, friends, or enemies tried to interfere. Nicole, Kate and Sami were strong villains who felt justified in doing what they did and didn't put up with any Bs.
Nowadays, though, the strength seems to be disappearing. We have shades of it with Kate standing up to Andre and Eduardo, but even she is a shadow of her former self.
Meanwhile, most of the women are busy pursuing one or more men and sex seems to be the only thing on their minds, and the men aren't much better.
Nicole is one of the worst casualties of the current writing regime's insistence that...
