Sir Sean Connery the legendary James Bond actor and Oscar winner has sadly passed away at the age of 90. The first to take on the James Bond and he was iconic doing that. His Oscar win came for The Untouchables and he starred in many big hitting films.
Waking up to the sad news that Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman has passed away at the age of 43 is tragically sad. Thoughts go out to his family as this truly difficult time. He had been diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 and battled through this for the past four years. Making many films during this time.
As well as Black Panther and Marvel films he also starred in the incredible Marshall, 42, Get On Up, Da 5 Bloods, 21 Bridges and many more.
He will be such a huge miss in the film world. Wakanda Forever ❤️
At the truly remarkable age of 104 Olivia de Havilland has passed away peacefully in her sleep, a double Oscar winner who was nominated five times overall. Probably most well known for her role as Melanie in Gone with the Wind.
She made her breakthrough opposite Errol Flynn in Captain Blood. She continued to act until the late 1980s. She took on studios off screen at a time when they had complete control over the stars.
Rest in Peace to one of Golden Hollywood’s outstanding stars.
