Good innings.

Damn, good age tho...

RIP

Rannoch · 5 Feb 2020 at 23:46

Oh no.

Legend - RIP

Rannoch · 5 Feb 2020 at 23:48

Saturn 3 is one of my favs.

The_Abyss · 5 Feb 2020 at 23:49

FFS, my brother in law had him in our celebrity dead pool. I was sure that Vera Lynn would be first.

RIP Kirk. Immortalised by I'm Spartacus by a later generation, I've enjoyed watching your performances over the years.

I am Spartacus btw,

103.. Not bad at all...

R.I.P.

He was Spartacus!

Hades · 5 Feb 2020 at 23:52

No! Ah crap. He was great. My first childhood memory of him was the original Planet of The Apes. When he turns the corner on the beach and the fallen Statue of Liberty comes into view is one of the most iconic memories in my childhood film watching.

Nooooooo. RIP

RIP Kirk.

103 though. Damn fine innings and the majority of it spent in luxury, rolling in cash.

Lived the dream for a bloody long time. The man was born before the First World War had ended!

Never heard of him specifically, but the one film I saw of him (Spartacus) was just typical Hollywood **** and he was mediocre there. Oh, well.

He's one of the most famous actors ever.

A touching eulogy if ever I’ve seen one. Brought a tear to my eye.

And McDonald's is one of the most popular restaurants ever.

Fairy sure that was Charlton Heston.

Ah crap you're right. Sorry a bit drunk here

Still a great actor though

RIP.

What an icon. Pretty good numbers though, only a select few get to triple digits.

Spartacus is still one of the best films ever made.

Sure, if you like Hollywood garbage.

Malevolence · 6 Feb 2020 at 00:06

Sad, but not a bad innings that. Good excuse to watch him, and Farah Fawcett, in Saturn 3. If I'm honest it will mostly be Farah Fawcett I'll be watching, he's just not as pretty.
