R.I.P.

RIP

Dit vind ik zo treurig. Die man was gewoon zo ontzettend sterk

Inderdaad treurig nieuws Laatst nog een item over hem gezien bij Netwerk en daar heb ik met veel bewondering naar gekeken. Hij was zo ziek maar was nog steeds ontzettend gedreven om films te maken. En wie weet wat hij nog allemaal voor moois had gemaakt als hij niet zo vroeg van ons heen was gegaan. Rust zacht Willem van de Sande Bakhuyzen, het gaat je goed.

Erg treurig. Gelukkig heeft een mooie film achtergelaten, Cloaca (de andere heb ik nog niet gezien.) Maar erg spijtig dit...

Ik denk niet dat ik die man ken. Zo te lezen was hij best een aangenaam persoon.

Cloaca was erg mooi, een verlies voor de Nederlandse filmwereld.

En wat te denken van Oud Geld. De mooiste Nederlandse dramaserie ooit, naar mijn onbescheiden mening.

Hij heeft het leven geleefd. Moeder Aarde, Allah, Jahweh en God mag weten wie nog meer hebben zijn ziel.

Interviews met Willem van de Sande Bakhuyzen, zijn korte dansfilm Lost en Cloaca in verband met zijn overlijden nu online te bekijken.

Tragisch, klote. Gestorven aan darmkanker. Rust in vrede!

Benieuwd hoe ze de première vanavond gaan invullen, zal wel heel surreël worden....

Gouden Kalf-reünie verzet vanwege begrafenis

28 september 2005, 14:15:23

UTRECHT (ANP) - De Gouden Kalf-reünie wordt in verband met de begrafenis van Willem van de Sande Bakhuyzen verplaatst van zaterdag naar zondag. Dat liet het Nederlands Film Festival (NFF) woensdag weten.

De regisseur van Leef!, woensdagavond de openingsfilm van het NFF, overleed dinsdag en wordt zaterdag begraven.

Op de reünie worden de winnaars van de Gouden Kalveren van de afgelopen 25 jaar verwacht. De sinds 1981 gelauwerde filmmakers, acteurs en actrices komen bijeen in een decor van hun Gouden Kalveren.

Filmkenner René Mioch presenteert op deze dag de onthulling van tegels met de handafdrukken van Gouden Kalf-winnaars Cees Geel en Monic Hendrickx. Op 7 oktober worden de filmprijzen voor producties van het afgelopen jaar uitgereikt

Als ik zo brutaal mag zijn, een van de mooiste dramaseries ooit, Zwarte sneeuw (Maarten Treurniet) was voor mijn gevoel de beste dramaserie

Misschien interessant om te weten: vandaag is het precies 50 jaar geleden dat James Dean is overleden.

Sluikreclame voor een ander topic.

Toch nog even mijn eerbetoon aan de omgekomen mensen in het Indonsiche Bali van dit weekend.

Ik zag de beelden op tv , afschuwelijk ..

Ronnie Barker is overleden op 76 jarige leeftijd.

Ik heb de laatste tijd veel van hem gezien. O.a. Porridge, Open All Hours en de Two Ronnies. Afgelopen jaar hadden Ronnie Barker en Ronnie Corbett een programma 'Two Ronnies Sketchbook', waarin ze het beste van 'Two Ronnies' presenteerde.

Comedy actor Ronnie Barker, who starred in Porridge and The Two Ronnies, has died aged 76...BBC

Een van de beste acteurs, in mijn ogen is heen gegaan. Zeer jammer.

Obituary: Ronnie Barker

For more than 20 years Ronnie Barker was one of the leading figures of British television comedy.

Barker was one of Britain's greatest comedy talents

He was much loved and admired for his appearances in the long-running series The Two Ronnies, with Ronnie Corbett, as prison inmate Fletcher, in the series Porridge, and as Arkwright, the bumbling, stuttering, sex-obsessed shopkeeper in Open All Hours.

Born in Bedford in 1929, Barker went to school in Oxford, became an architecture student and even toyed with the idea of becoming a bank manager, the archetypal middle-class profession he would later parody so effectively in his comic sketches.

However, he joined Aylesbury Repertory Company in 1948, while still in his teens, before taking to the West End stage at the invitation of Sir Peter Hall, where he appeared in Mourning Becomes Her in 1955.

Masterful wordplay

He appeared in several more plays, and also broke into radio. He was in 300 editions of The Navy Lark as A B Johnson.

Ronnie Barker first worked with Ronnie Corbett in The Frost Report and Frost on Sunday, programmes for which he also wrote scripts. In 1971 they teamed up for the first Two Ronnies.

The Two Ronnies, were a national institution

In all, there were a dozen series. At its peak, more than 17 million viewers watched what had become a national institution, and the show was also admired abroad.

The scripts relied on masterful wordplay and impeccable timing, and Barker wrote many of them.

Barker himself, however, was among many viewers who regarded his portrayal of Fletcher in Porridge as the best work he ever did. The series ended in 1977, and was followed by the less successful Going Straight, about Fletcher's return to civilian life.

Open All Hours, with David Jason, which ran for several series, was the work which Ronnie Barker probably enjoyed most. He also played - less successfully - a Welsh photographer in The Magnificent Evans and, later, a short-sighted removal man in Clarence.

Comic chameleon

He wrote three films without dialogue - A Home of Your Own, Futtocks End and The Picnic.

Ronnie Barker won a number of awards. In the late 1970s he was three times the British Academy's best light entertainment performer, and in 1975 he took the Royal Television Society's award for outstanding creative achievement. In 2004 Barker was honoured with a Bafta tribute award and celebration evening for his contribution to comedy.

Barker was the inimitable Fletcher in Porridge

Barker was a man of contradictions. He never liked sex or obscenity on television, but there was no shortage of frisky gags in The Two Ronnies.

Equally convincing in an overall, uniform or frilly frock, one of comedy's great chameleons was less happy when asked to walk on stage and play himself. He was modest about his writing skills and often submitted his scripts under pseudonyms, in order for them to be judged on their own merits.

Able to deliver the great tongue-twisting speeches required of his characters, Barker pronounced himself "completely boring" without a script.

And when he considered that his own scripts had begun to decline in quality, he left showbusiness in 1988 to open an antique shop near his Oxfordshire home.

Resisted

As well as citing a decline in health for his reason for retiring, Barker said he always felt he should quit while he was ahead, and he had no further ambitions.

He resisted all calls back from retirement, until he felt compelled to write a play for his actress daughter Charlotte, in 1998. The play received poor notices, and Barker's name was only added to the bill at the behest of the director.

Barker also starrred in Open All Hours

He finally gave in to public demand in 2002, delighting millions of viewers with his first TV drama appearance in more than a decade, as Winston Churchill's manservant, in The Gathering Storm.

Three years before, he had enjoyed a Two Ronnies Reunion Night on BBC One. Barker joined Corbett to introduce the best of their sketches, and the hardware shop "Four candles - Fork handles!" set-piece was judged the most popular by a television audience of millions.

Earlier this year the two actors once again reunited for The Two Ronnies Sketchbook, for a four-week run that proved popular with audiences.

Viewers rediscovered the pleasures of the duo's tightly scripted routines, and proved that while Corbett's golfing jumpers had passed their sell by date, the pair's impeccable delivery and the comic chemistry between them had a longer lasting appeal.

Was een grote vedette. Spijtig.

Charles Rocket - meest bekend voor Nederlanders als de slechterik in Dumb & Dumber of de sympathieke Lt. Elgin in Dances With Wolves.

STAMFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- Actor and comedian Charles Rocket, who had roles in a variety of movies and TV series and briefly gained notoriety for uttering an obscenity on "Saturday Night Live," committed suicide, the state medical examiner ruled.

Rocket, 56, whose real name was Charles Claverie, was found dead in a field near his home in Canterbury on Oct 7. His throat had been cut, the medical examiner said.

"An investigation determined there was no criminal aspect to this case," State Police Sgt. J. Paul Vance said Monday.

Rocket was a cast member on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" during the 1980-81 season. The profanity incident happened during a spoof of the "Who Shot J.R.?" plot line on "Dallas," which created a nationwide sensation at the time.

The incident sparked complaints from viewers and prompted NBC to apologize. Rocket was later dismissed along with other cast members and writers on the show amid weak ratings at the time.

He went on to appear in numerous TV shows, including "Moonlighting" and "Max Headroom," and provided voices for cartoon series. His movie credits included "Earth Girls are Easy," "Dumb and Dumber" and "Dances With Wolves," according to the Internet Movie Database.

The death stunned friends, who described Rocket as an immensely talented performer who never quite got the break or recognition to become a top star.

"I'm horrified," said Chris Frantz, a friend who founded the popular band "Talking Heads." "I know that Charlie had some pretty big disappointments in his life. The world of Hollywood movies and television can be pretty rough for a person."

Before his time on "Saturday Night Live," Rocket was an anchorman at television stations in Colorado and Rhode Island and played an influential role in the Providence, R.I., arts scene decades ago, friends said.

Meneer de Uil is overleden.

De Nederlandse conferencier Frans van Dusschoten is in zijn woonplaats Castricum op 72-jarige leeftijd overleden. Van Dusschoten werd vooral bekend als Meneer de Uil in de kinderserie De Fabeltjeskrant en als Brilsmurf.

Hij brak in Nederland door als aangever voor grappen van André van Duin in de jaren '70. Tussen 1968 en 1989 verleende hij zijn stem aan diverse karakters uit de tv-serie De Fabeltjeskrant zoals Meneer de Uil, Willem Bever en Chico Lama. Van Dusschoten was ook actief bij andere populaire kinderprogramma's zoals Paulus de Boskabouter en de Smurfen. Hij sprak de stemmen in van Brilsmurf en Knutselsmurf. In 1981 speelde hij met André van Duin in de film "Ik ben Joop Meloen". Het jaar daarop acteerden ze samen in "De Boezemvriend".

Frans Joseph van Dusschoten werd op 6 augustus 1933 geboren in Amsterdam. Hij ging in 1993 met pensioen en trok zich in de anonimiteit terug in zijn woonplaats Castricum. Op het Nederlandse Televizierringgala vorige week vrijdag liet van Dusschoten nog van zich horen als Meneer de Uil. Zijn dood dinsdag kwam onverwacht. Het nieuws raakte pas vandaag bekend. (hln)

Dat kon ie briljant, jammer dat niet echt naar voren komt.

De luid gescandeerde aangevers van Frans van Dusschoten waren op zich leuker dan de inkoppers van de genant flauwe Van Duin.

Klopt, vaak op zo'n heerlijk mopperende toon.

Wat zei Meneer de Uil op het eind van elke aflevering ook alweer?

Oogjes dicht en snaveltje toe.

Volgens mij was het een retorische vraag? .
