Frank Finlay dead: British Oscar-nominated actor who played opposite Olivier dies aged 89
In a wide-ranging career across stage and screen, Finlay starred as Porthos in the Three Musketeer films of the 1970s, alongside Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain and Michael York
Relatives of Frank Finlay have paid tribute to the Oscar-nominated actor after reporting that he had passed away earlier today aged 89.
Josh Coombes, a drummer with the band Tigress, said his grandfather had been a “funny, loving, amazing storyteller” and an “inspiration and one of the best actors this country has ever seen” as his family began posting messages on Twitter.
In a wide-ranging career across stage and screen, Finlay starred as Porthos in the Three Musketeer films of the 1970s, alongside Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain and Michael York, and opposite Susan Penhaligon in the taboo-challenging television series Bouquet Of Barbed Wire. He also took the lead role in Dennis Potter’s serial, Casanova, and starred in Shaft In Africa, the follow-up to the famous black private detective film starring Richard Roundtree. It was in a supporting role to Laurence Olivier in Othello back in 1965, for which he was nominated for an Oscar in 1965.
He was awarded a CBE gong in 1984, but many fans wondered why he was never knighted. "Perhaps I haven't been high-profile enough,” he suggested in a self-effacing interview with the Independent in the 1990s
His turns as Sancho Panza in The Adventures of Don Quixote and Voltaire in Candide, both BBC plays of the month, however, led to BAFTA awards.
He was married to his wife, Doreen Shepherd, for 50 years until her death in 2005. They had three children

89 ain't a bad score mind you.
On the subject of the dead, anyone seen Damo this morning? He took a hell of a kicking last night. Genuinely worried.

Merely a tactical withdrawal. An appearance around mid evening as the transfer deadline approaches is a safe bet !
I dunno mate. I haven't seen him take a hiding like that since he tried to argue aviation with an actual 'kin pilot.

Just a thought ive had,
Should we be a little more appreciative of people before they die? Like all this Bowie / wogan praise that happened after they passed, wouldn't be nice if they saw it before they died? Like a big tirbute to Terry Wogan on the BBC so he could see people loved him?

Mark Farren
Former Derry City forward Mark Farren died after a long battle with cancer, just 33 years of age. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour a few years ago and despite undergoing experimental treatment in mexico it wasnt to be. Fans from all around Ireland and Clubs help fund raise to pay for the treatment.
He was well liked and a goalscorer of some note, becoming Derry's all time record goalscorer in his last season playing.
RIP

Awful news. Absolute legend in these neck of the woods, have many memories of Mark Farren scoring at the Brandywell. Done so much for the community as well and nobody could say a bad word about him. Truly sad day for Derry.

I meant generally lol
Like david bowie, all the parties and stuff to honour him that happened. Would have been nicer if before he died he saw just how loved he was world wide.
