RIP....The Official Dead Thread

Robert Eastman, 81.

You may not recognize the name but you would certainly recognize the voice. I remember him most as Sparks in the movie Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Just heard on NPR that Cheetah the chimpanzee from the (really) old Tarzan movies in the 1930's succumbed to kidney failure at a wildlife santuary in FL. This is pretty astounding since they normally only live 40-50 years in the wild and 60 years in captivity and he was in his 80's.

Heard that this morning as well (though not on NPR). I didn't realize he was still alive either.

I read that this might've been a hoax (the chimp's either still alive, or already died years ago).

I just read that Bob Anderson died. For those that don't know he did the "stunts" for Darth Vader in ESB and ROTJ.

I also found this picture quite funny. It was just a slideshow on Yahoo of the main stars that died this year. They have the write-up and name correct just not the right Mike Starr.
