 StarTrek.com is saddened to report the passing of Lawrence Montaigne, the veteran actor who played the Romulan, Decius, in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Balance of Terror" in 1966 and returned a year later to portray Stonn, a Vulcan, in "Amok Time." The actor died on Friday, March 17, at the age of 86 According to the biography on Montaigne's official site, he was born in Brooklyn, New York, raised in Rome, Italy, and developed an early talent for languages, which opened many doors for him as an actor. Trained as a classical dancer, he appeared on Broadway in Hazel Flagg and Shinbone Alley (with Eartha Kitt). He was eventually lured to Hollywood, where he worked with the Hollywood Bowl Ballet Company. In films, he worked as a dancer with such notables as Gene Kelly, Donald O'Conner and Mitzie Gaynor. He studied fencing both in the U.S. and Europe, which afforded him the opportunity to work as a stuntman on Scaramouche, The Three Musketeers, Julius Caesar and in a series of low-budget, swashbuckling films for Sam Katzman at Columbia See more at: www.startrek.com/article/remembering-lawrence-montaigne-1931-2017#sthash.XtyG2cyk.dpuf |

 And they are dropping like flies Horror comic fans might know this guy Bernie Wrightson, hugely influential horror artist and co-creator of Swamp Thing, has died at the age of 68. Bernie Wrightson, who announced his retirement this past January as a result of the battle with brain cancer that he just lost, was nothing short of a horror legend; some of his most notable work includes the poster for Creepshow and his illustrations for Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf, the novella that became Silver Bullet. Wrightson also illustrated the graphic novel adaptation of Creepshow, and throughout his career he worked with both DC and Marvel, drawing iconic comic book characters such as Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange. |
