A double whammy for the entertainment industry. The writer was 90, the director (cold mountain, English pateint...) was younger and died from complications from cancer surgery.
BBC has both Obits. http//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/default.stm
Shame about Arthur, I always liked his work and drive, I didn't always understand him.
The other chap, whose name I can't spell without looking, I didn't see The English Patient, but I saw something else and thought it very good.
I'm guessing gods run out of movie makers and movie ideas guys. Next it'll be the comedians. Sigh!
Clarke had a pretty good inins, but minghella died young what was the course ???
Ming (as I call him) died from a hemorraghe following the removal of a lump, and I am sure I have spelt the long word wrong.
Absolutely loved "Truly Madly Deeply"* and "Cold Mountain" - casting was superb in both and deserving of all the accolades.
Sorry to hear of another young death.
*Am I the only one who gets Juliet Stevenson confused with Zoe Wanamaker?
Nope you're not. Take action now. Get a brain game. I still don't know the difference between Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, and when you get on to the Italians, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino and Andy Garcia, I'm lost.
In the future it will be identified as a disease, recognition inability. lol
..... died from complications from cancer surgery.

He had cancer of the tonsils and neck and haemhorraged after surgery (if EEB can make up the spelling as he goes along, so can I :mrgreen:)
