Good old Harold and Madge. I used to love watching Neighbours back in the mid to late 80s. I was sorry to read recently that he's been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Terry Kilburn, pictured below with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (1939), is 98 today!



Last night off TCM I watched a little film called Lord Jeff. TK had a prominent role alongside Mickey Rooney (18), Freddie Bartholomew (14) and Peter Lawford (15!). Remarkable thing to think I was looking at an 86-year-old MGM picture with Kilburn still around while everyone else connected is gone.
