Cinematographer Alan Hume

Can't believe I didn't hear more about Alan as he died over a month ago. One of the ever reliable unsung photographers.

That indeed is sad news and not that old either. As to films directed by him, I have Millenium Actress, Paprika and Perfect Blue and to me they are 3 enjoyable films. I also have Tokyo Godfathers but not yet viewed that.

Just found a link via Empire. Satoshi Kon wrote an entry for his blog shortly before his death and it has been translated and put online.

It's as powerful and moving as you might expect. He had such grace. http://www.makikoitoh.com/journal/satoshi-kons-last-words

I just came across a mention (posted yesterday) that Gloria Winters passed away.  She played young Penny, the niece of the lead, in the TV series "Sky King" that aired originally in the 1950s.  Sky King was a modern western in which the lead character drove an airplane rather than riding a horse.  Miss Winters was 78 at the time of her death.  I don't even remember if she ever did anything else but I would imagine that she did.
