A death hagg-y addition to the afore-mentioned death of singer Cheryl Stroud - she'd shot an acting role in a local drama series a month or so before her death; it went to air a fortnight after she...
Fought the cancer for almost ten years... Was portrayed on "The Monkees" as "the dummy", but was actually an accomplished musician, and always came across as a very decent person.
A young Australian singer named Cheryl Stroud was chosen as a regular in a new TV variety show in 1969 - she did the first episode, and was killed in a car accident a few nights later on her way home...
As a minor side-light, there was a radio host in Australia named Jack Davey. He came to Australia from New Zealand in the early 1930s, and soon became the country's most popular performer - by 1957...
Fake / not fake? As someone who's spent a lot of time dealing with old video recordings, I'd come down on the side of a very good fake...
The video quality is what you'd expect from a third or...
At the time of his death, his character had just been married on-screen. The episodes he'd been taping just before his death involved her having gone missing, presumed murdered - lots of very...
A correction to Megan's biography - she didn't star in "Breakers", so far as I'm aware, she never even appeared in it...
Here's a TV commercial she did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpFE13Pkdd4
He also made a cameo in the Samuel L. Jackson film rehash of "S.W.A.T" - at the very end, when they get into the S.W.A.T van, Steve is the driver...

I used to jam with a guy who was forming an R & B cover band doing covers of Yardbirds, Cream, Who, etc. I lasted a few months, due to work commitments, I had to pull out. He ended up naming the band...
Just so you know: I work in radio, have done for the last 12 or so years. Spent countless hours in production studios, working with audio - recording, processing, editing, trying to clean up bad...
600mph is 880 feet per second. From 28,000 feet, that's 32 seconds to impact. Unless there was some sort of depressurisation, rendering them unconscious or dead, they'd probably have been conscious...
At Parkland Hospital, she handed one of the doctors a piece of JFK's skull, that had been blown off and landed on the trunk of the limo - it's documented. That may well not have been her initial goal...

Hi, Miss Sue!
Most are here: http://www.documentingreality.com/forum/f10/brazilian-rock-band-airplane-crash-72002/ - but be warned, some are pretty gruesome...
Keaton was a genius - wrote, directed, starred, did his own stunts, thought up his own special camera effects. There's more brilliance in his "Cops", "The Playhouse", and "Sherlock Jr" alone than in...
Am I the only one who sees a strong resemblance between Robert Urich and Jon-Erik Hexum?
Here's another: Cameraman Frank Parnell was killed in December 1966 (along with his producer, and the pilot) while shooting footage of Sydney Harbour for the TV series "Breakaways", when the...
Hmmm, let's see...

Here's a better quality jpeg of that TV Week cover... Not sure if Jon-Erik appeared on any other magazine covers prior to his death. If anyone wants a full-size copy of the image, PM me your e-mail...
Yep - picked up a batch of 1000 of 'em (already got virtually the entire run from when it began in 1957), so I'm flogging 'em all off...
I'll PM you the link to the item - don't want to use the...

We got "Voyagers" in Australia, and I think it may still have been showing when Jon-Erik died... He appeared on the cover of the Australia's major TV magazine, "TV Week", in a shot from "Making Of A...
A company called Larrikin Music had acquired the rights to the song in 1990, and set about issuing a lawsuit - from a newspaper article: "The song was written in 1934 by Toorak school teacher Marion...
No, that's at Love Field airport, at the very start of the motorcade - nowhere near Dealey Plaza...
I can't help thinking of the scene in "Austin Powers", where one of Dr. Evil's henchmen gets squished by the steam-roller...

Yep, a Google image search on ' "Marc Bolan" mini ' brings up several. Turns out, not only is a Rolls-Royce good for your voice, it's much better in a prang...
Poor old Moonie... As I recall it, he'd taken his usual handful of pills, then flaked. But, instead of being out for the usual ten or twelve hours, he woke after a very short sleep, saw the time, and...
There was a great Shell commercial done in the late 1980's, recreating the chase scene in The Great Escape - the ad agency managed to get an actor who was almost a dead ringer for McQueen. There's a...
The show was being recorded at Chubbuck's specific request - her family believe that she did so because she expected the footage to be shown around the country.
No-one seems to recall who the...

There was a very good documentary produced on Hull, titled "A Bird In The Hand" - which included home video footage of Hull doing what would kill him shortly after: on the roof of his cottage,...
Carry was also one of the cast of the short-lived Matt Frewer sit-com "Doctor, Doctor" - seriously funny program, and Carry was great in it...
Here's another photo of Ernie in the wreck - slightly different angle to the one in the posts above, and very fuzzy - but enough to generate letters of complaint to the paper which printed it...

Interestingly, on October 20 1970, Deacon was in Australia, appearing on local tonight show "In Melbourne Tonight". He and host Stuart Wagstaff were supposed to be joined on camera by British actor...
