Vale – Glenn Shadix & Clive Donner

Updating our obits today, with a tip of the hat to two Hollywood alumni that have recently passed on. Actor Glenn  Shadix, best known as Otho in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, passed away yesterday aged 58. Shadix also appeared in two other Burton films, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Planet Of The Apes.

Director Clive Donner was responsible for giving us such cinematic treats as What’s New Pussycat, The Nude Bomb, Vampira and Stealing Heaven. He passed away yesterday, aged 84. His best known work is The Caretaker, a 1963 film starring Alan Bates, Robert Shaw and Donald Pleasance.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
