Actor obituaries regularly center around the role the deceased is best known for: Euphoria's Fez for Angus Cloud, for example, or A Room with a View's George Emerson for Julian Sands. Paul Reubens, whose death from cancer was confirmed on July 31, 2023, would always be associated with his most popular role, even if it weren’t one of the wackiest characters in the children’s television pantheon, Pee-wee Herman. If it hadn’t been for his 1991 arrest in Florida for “indecent exposure” (or his later one in 2002), many fans probably would not have known his real name in the first place.
However, Reubens was a gifted comedian outside of that over-the-top bow-tied screamer. While it’s the role he’ll be remembered for most, he didn’t need to be Pee-wee to be funny, joyful, or weird.

Melanie Lynskey took to social media Wednesday to share a heartfelt tribute to the late Julian Sands.
Authorities confirmed the actor, who had been missing since January, died while hiking after his remains were recently found by hikers near the Mount Baldy wilderness area.
“The identification process for the body located on Mt. Baldy on June 24, 2023, has been completed and was positively identified as 65-year-old Julian Sands of North Hollywood,” the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Tuesday. “The manner of death is still under investigation, pending further test results.”
The Yellowjackets star shared a throwback photo of her and Sands dancing on Instagram and opened up about being nervous to meet him for the first time on the set of the miniseries Rose Red in 2000.
“A Room With A View was a movie I had seen dozens of times, and I adored you in it,” she wrote.

The news that the remains of Julian Sands, an actor of extraordinary sensitivity and awareness, were identified in California’s San Gabriel mountains June 27 brings to a close a sad, uncertain chapter. Sands will have no date of death confirmed. He simply disappeared January 13 while hiking near Mt. Baldy amid severe storms, icy conditions, and possible avalanches. It took five days just to find his car. And yet, the location where he disappeared, a harsh wilderness, was only about 10 miles from Inland Empire urban sprawl. That’s California for you: the most densely populated areas abut what is truly “the wild.”
The nature of his disappearance was such that many of Sands’ admirers, myself included, did not grieve his loss at the time. There was always hope, however much of a long shot, that he might be found. He was an expert and avid hiker, after all. Maybe he found...

After the smash hit of A Room With a View, Sands’ idiosyncrasies were hard to contain in mainstream movies, but in the right roles he was mesmerising
Sands dies aged 65A life in picturesObituary
Julian Sands was the English screen actor who emerged in the 1980s in a generation of floppy-haired, high-cheekboned exquisites that included James Wilby, Rupert Everett, Hugh Grant, Rupert Graves, Daniel Day-Lewis and Colin Firth. But Sands turned out to be a rarer, stranger and more exotic flower than any of them, virtually impossible to cast as a conventional lead and almost as difficult as a character turn. And this was due to his extraordinarily eccentric screen presence – distrait, elegant, deadly serious and otherworldly – and that utterly distinctive voice: softly melodious, slightly strangulated, nasal and decelerated; he delivered lines at about 60 to 70% of the speed at which other actors spoke. These were mannerisms that became more pronounced...

After six months of searching, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s office confirmed today that the human remains found earlier this week by hikers were, indeed, those of actor Julian Sands. He had been missing since mid-January.
The statement (read it below) says his cause of death is still pending, but Sands was an experienced hiker who loved the outdoors.
The positive identification comes less than a week after Sands’ family issued their first statement on the matter, saying they are “deeply grateful to the search teams and coordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian.”

Well, That happened.
Dynasty Season 2 Episode 14 finally brought Adam into the mix, and his entrance will surely go down as one of the most memorable arrivals on TV in quite some time.
Steven was all over the place. I mean, I figured this George Emerson character was a figment of Steven's imagination before Fallon and Sammy Jo even entertained the possibility.
Steven has always been an erratic character, and the way he spoke about the elusive George was like he had been in a relationship with him on the down low for years.
There was a passion in his eyes when he was talking about him, even when he was claiming that the relationship was platonic. It is possible for people to be friends, but there was something off about the way Steven was acting.
Welcome to our home away from home. Well, one of them.
