An incredible 287 acting credits on IMDb, but for me it's her film debut as a naked barefoot woman flagging down Ralph Meeker as Mickey Spillane in "Kiss Me Deadly" that will always stand out. Oh my, what they did with that pair of pliers.

The son was Bruno. I think its a typo and though I am under the age - I most know him from Columbo

Cicely Tyson. Another nonagenarian at 96.

Ben Aipa passed recently. A tour de force, and Hawaiian surfing legend. I was able to ride one of his shapes, an 8'-2, swallow twin with laminated wooden fins.
Screech.
