Actor Roy Scheider Dies
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Obituaries,
Roy Scheider - the man partially responsible for making people fear the ocean - passed away Sunday afternoon.
The star, best known for his role in 1975’s Jaws, had been suffering for years from multiple myeloma. His wife says Scheider’s death was a result of complications stemming from a staph infection.
Although the actor will always be linked to the classic Spielberg film (and its unfortunate sequel), he also earned Oscar-nominations for parts in two other films: 1971’s The French Connection and 1979’s All That Jazz.
Scheider was 75 years old.

Deborah Kerr: An Actress to Remember
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Classics, Obituaries,
Best known for her roles in 1957’s An Affair to Remember (opposite Cary Grant) and 1953’s From Here to Eternity (opposite the one and only Burt Lancaster in the famous beach scene), legendary actress Deborah Kerr has passed away at age 86. Kerr won the Golden Globe and received an Academy Award nomination during her lengthy Hollywood career, which included more than forty films.
Born in Scotland, Kerr blazed on the screen with her red hair and powerful voice. It was that same voice which helped Kerr land the role of a lifetime – Anna in The King and I. She starred opposite Yul Brenner, the sexiest bald man in the history of Hollywood (you wish, Telly Savales), making film history in the musical with classic songs like ‘Getting to Know You’. Kerr became a Bond girl at age 46 in the film Casino Royale.
