Frank’s on the writing team of this “proof of concept” test run, and it’s both technically interesting and funny. Check it out.
 Italian actor Ivo Garrani, whose career in radio, television and film spanned more than 60 years, died March 25. He was 91.MSTies will recall he played King Pelias in the movie in episode 502- HERCULES and played Re di Megalia in the movie in episode 412- HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN. There are obituaries for him on the web, but they’re all in Italian. Thanks to Timmy for the heads up. Alert reader Jeffrey suggests:
I’m to expand this a little to include instances where the riffers address the movie directly. What’s your favorite?  PALM SPRINGS, Calif.–Carl Mahakian, an Emmy-winning sound editor with a long career in TV and movies and an even longer career of service in the armed forces, died here March 9. He was 89. In the world of MST3K, he was sound editor for the movie in episode 509- GIRL IN LOVERS’ LANE. A basic obit is here. He was interviewed back in 2010.
And a few other passings of note: And Evan Thompson, who was mostly a stage actor, but who apparently had a small role in the movie in episode 618- HIGH SCHOOL BIG SHOT, died Feb. 28. He was 83. His picture is here at this BroadwayWorld.com remembrance. Anybody recognize him from the movie? And this guy isn’t officially in our database, but we thought we’d mention that actor Gregory Walcott, who played pilot Jeff Trent in “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” died March 20 in Los Angeles. He was 87. Thanks as always to the ever-vigilant Duane and Timmy. |
