At the weekend on the BA6 and Beyond Show with Joe and Sylv on GWS Radio, we remembered three celebrities we lost, starting with Len Deighton. Born Leonard Cyril Deighton in 1929.
He was a talented British author known for more than just his spy novels. While he penned cookbooks and historical works, it was his thrilling espionage tales that captured readers’ imaginations.
During a long holiday in France, he crafted his first novel, The IPCRESS File, which hit the shelves in 1962 and quickly became a hit, earning both critical acclaim and commercial success.
His contribution to literature will surely be missed!
Chuck Norris, originally named Carlos Ray Norris, was born in Oklahoma in 1940.
He joined the U.S. Air Force as a teenager, and it was during his time in South Korea that he discovered his passion for martial arts.
Over the years, he became not just a skilled martial artist but also a well-known Hollywood movie star. He was 86
I remember watching Walker, Texas Ranger with my late dad, we were both fans of the actor and show.
Nicholas Brendon, whose full name was Nicholas Brendon Schultz, was an American actor and writer.
He gained fame for his role as Xander Harris in the hit TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer from 1997 to 2003.
He also portrayed Kevin Lynch on Criminal Minds from 2007 to 2014.
Both of these shows, we binge watch and feel that we may have to do this again really soon.
