Clark passed recently . OK, it seems odd to me that somehow the RIP thread in "Entertainment" has become an RIP thread for anyone with any sort of fame. I really do not think that Ramsey Clark was any sort of Entertainment figure and I think there should be an RIP thread in General Chatter where political figures are normally discussed if one wants to discuss his death.

Interesting point to raise considering the death of Prince Philip and how it has partially overtaken the U.K. Politics thread while also being discussed here.

Agreed, I've grown so accustomed to posting about people that have passed here, that I've for a long while, not stopped to consider whether they were in entertainment or just famous in general.

dog-days Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Was really sad to see this. I first noticed her when I was sixteen, and she was in a not-amazing role in an unremarkable TV drama. Her presence was stunning. She stole every scene she was in. Later, I was lucky enough to see her play Medea live on stage. Her early death must be a terrible blow for her family. I wish very much she'd lived to play through the repertoire of roles available to charismatic older women (not enough, but they are there) and take on new challenges. That future's gone now : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Terrible to lose her too early. I selfishly wanted to see more of her on PB. My condolences to everyone associated with this fantastically talented lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I just learned the news. Far too soon to lose her talent. She had that undefinable quality, which I am guessing comes from a personality that gives everything in which she's involved, while never taking herself too seriously Whatever that quality is, made her portrayals of characters unforgettable. PB can't be PB without her, anymore than Tommy Shelby can function effectively without Polly, as one astute character told her in either season 4 or 5.

dbunting Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That sucks, PB won't be the same without her, she owned every scene she was in. Wonder how the show will handle it. With the type of show it is they could definitely tie it in to storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are currently filming the next season so I guess they knew she wasn't going to be able to film. I'm not certain on that but I think I read it somewhere.
