may stiffs.

It's time to drag the dead pool for Unwell celebs who've passed away in the last four weeks.....

First up is the cult fave Bernard Archard whose film CV included Village of the Damned (1960), The Horror of Frankenstein (1970), Roman Polanski's Macbeth (1971), Dad's Army (1971), The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Sea Wolves (1980), Krull (1983) but the Richard Chamberlain 'classic' King Solomon's Mines (1985). And as for TV his appearances, they included all the classics from a regular role in Emmerdale; plus appearances in Upstairs, Downstairs, Rumpole of the Bailey, Bergerac, The Avengers, Callan, Danger Man, Z Cars, Paul Temple, Dixon of Dock Green, and The Professionals. We'll remember him best tho' for his two top turns in Doctor Who: as strangely hatted Bragen in The Power of the Daleks and as undead badboy Marcus Scarman in Pyramids of Mars.

Archard with a vengeance.

Professional wrestler and blonde bombshell Nellya Burres-Baughman (better known as Judy Grable and by the nickname Barefoot Contessa) was also counted out one final time this month.

Grable: bare foot and less sweaty.

Richard Towne Sutcliffe, the American animator who developed, alongside Gumby creators Art Clokey and Ruth Clokey Goodell the 1960s stop motion religious animated series Davey and Goliath also died last month. His idea of spreading simple religious messages and morals to young television viewers thru' cartoons is still a frankly terrifying concept even today.

Cinema sex god, VIP Playboy mansion guest, all round hero and best Bruce Wayne we never had John Phillip Law was finally covered in molten gold this month. Law was best known for his roles as the sexy as fuck blind angel Pygar in the 1968 classic Barbarella, the news anchor Robin Stone in The Love Machine, the lead in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Death Rides a Horse, Attack Force Z. and the Mario Bava crime caper Danger: Diabolik.

American film producer and television producer and Bronx native Sandy Howard signed a final deal in May. From becoming a director for the Howdy Doody show at the age of nineteen; he later produced the Captain Kangaroo show before co-creating The Merry Mailman in the early '50s. Among his film productions are A Man Called Horse (1970), Man in the Wilderness (1971) and the star packed Meteor (1980) in which leather balled Sean Connery fights a large space rock.

And not because of his huge cock.

"Get it up ya!"

"Aye son!"

And one final goodbye as Harvey Herschel Korman, American 'comedic' actor best known for working with Mel Brooks, most notably as Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles fell of the horse of life this month.

"Shite in mah mooth!"
