Rest in peace. Remember seeing her on the Mike Walsh and Ray Martin shows when on school holidays, and I think once she wore a designer dress made entirely out of garbage bags. A unique personality from the golden era of Australian television.

Loved her on Blankety Blanks

Was she one of the first people to be famous because she was famous?

I cant recall.her being on any of the Blankety Blanks versions (I cant find anything from Google search either) - was she on the Kennedy version or one of the later ones?

She was on the Channel 9 version with Daryl Somers.
She had alzheimers and dementia, didn't recognise anyone and had been bed ridden for about 9 years, couldn't feed herself or anything, so sad. Cruel disease.

RIP. Hand of God, meet God.

One of THE all-time round-ball football greats. Only 60, which is too young, but not a great surprise as he lived life to the limit.

His second goal (about 35 seconds in) against Belgium in the 1986 World Cup is absolutely sublime.

Pipe down Zippy.

I use many at work, we now have a Zippy.

David Prowse, aged 85.

Weightlifter and bodybuilder who played a few bit parts on the big screen and on telly. He was the bodyguard in A Clockwork Orange, and Hotblack Desiato's bodyguard in the BBC production of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. He had bit parts in Doctor Who, Space: 1999 and Jabberwocky.

Oh, and he was DARTH VADER too,

RIP David Prowse. I only really appreciated how big he was in "A Clockwork Orange" (once I realised he played Alexander's body guard), for some reason the Darth Vader outfit (at least to me) didn't properly emphasise how bloody massive he was.

Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played the Toecutter in the original Mad Max, as well as starring in the Fury Road sequel and the cult-classic 70s bikie film Stone, died this week aged 73.
