Tchéky Karyo Dies: ‘La Femme Nikita’ Co-Star Who Appeared In Dozens Of Films & TV Shows Was 72

 

He was not on the list.

Tchéky Karyo, the French actor who co-starred in Luc Besson’s La Femme Nikita, toplined the TV series Baptiste and had more than 100 other film and television credits during a 40-year screen career, died Friday of cancer. He was 72.

His wife, actor Valérie Keruzoré, and their children announced his death to the French news agency AFP.

Born on October 4, 1953, in Instanbul, Karyo moved with his family to France at a young age. He was nearly 30 when he began to land roles in film and was nominated for a César Award as Most Promising Actor for one of his earliest movies, La balance (1982).

He began working steadily through the 1980s, and his big break came in 1990, when writer-director Besson cast him in the key role of Bob, a member of a secret government entity who mentors Nikita (Anne Pariillaud) as she transforms into a trained killer.

From there, Karyo would take on mostly supporting movie roles in dozens of 1990s movies ranging from Besson’s Joan of Arc, Michael Bay’s Bad Boys, Ridley Scott’s 1492: Conquest of Paradise and the Pierce Brosnan James Bond pic GoldenEye to Addicted to Love, Babel and Besson’s The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc.

As the millennium turned, Karyo continued to work consistently in films into the first half of the 2010s, appearing in Pieces of Me, Requiem for a Killer, A Man and His Dog and many more. Along the way, he began to take gigs in French TV series including Section Zero and No Limit. Among his most famous was playing Detective Julien Baptiste in the British series The Missing, for which he was nominated as Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries at the 2015 Monte-Carlo TV Festival. The show aired on BBC One in the UK and Starz in the U.S.

From there Karyo focused mainly on television. He appeared in several episodes of War on Beasts, The Name of the Rose and ZeroZeroZero before landing a lead in his own series. He reprised his role from The Missing in spinoff Baptiste, a 2019-21 crime drama that aired on BBC One.

Karyo continue to grace the big and small screens right up until his final role in the 2025 film Faster.

Steve Hargan obit

Former Blue Jays, Indians All-Star Pitcher Dies

The journeyman pitched for four teams in a 12-year major league career, winning 87 games as a starter and reliever.

 He was not on the list.

Steve Hargan, an All-Star once in 12 seasons as a major league pitcher, and a member of the inaugural 1977 Toronto Blue Jays team, has died according to a post to his Facebook page. He was 83.

Hargan went 87-107 with a 3.92 ERA in 354 games (215 starts) for the Cleveland Indians (1965-72), Texas Rangers (1974-77), Blue Jays (1977), and Atlanta Braves (1977).

A native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hargan was chosen to the American League All-Star team in 1967, but didn't pitch in the game.

"The last game with the Indians prior to the All-Star Game, I pulled a leg muscle rounding third," Hargan said in a 2010 interview. "I got caught in the grass and pulled a hamstring, so I could hardly walk; that's the reason why I didn't pitch that day."

When the game lasted 15 innings, one pitcher — Catfish Hunter — threw the final five innings for the AL.

"I felt bad about [the game] going that long and not being able to pitch," Hargan said in the same interview.

Hargan signed with Cleveland out of Ball State University and pitched four seasons in the minor leagues prior to his 1965 debut.

In a May 1966 game against the California Angels, Hargan entered a 4-4 game in the seventh inning, having pitched two innings the day before. He proceeded to pitch 10 innings in relief as neither team scored until the 17th inning, then was credited with the win when Cleveland hung on for a 7-5 victory.

In a 2011 interview, Hargan called that the “most memorable pitching performance of my major league career.”

Besides his time in the majors, Hargan also spent time pitching in Venezuela in the 1960s, and split the 1978 season with the Minnesota Twins and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations without receiving a promotion. He retired midway through the 1978 campaign

Hargan retired to Palm Springs, Calif., where he lived until his death.

Benjamin Duncan

Big Brother star Ben Duncan dies aged 45 after 100ft plunge from hotel

 

He was not on the list.

Big Brother star Ben Duncan has died aged 45 after falling seven floors from The Trafalgar St. James hotel.

The socialite, also known for his association with Prince William and Kate Middleton at St Andrews University, appeared on several reality TV shows over the years, including Big Brother season 11 on Channel 4 in 2010.

It is understood he plunged around 100 feet from the rooftop bar of the five-star Hilton hotel on Thursday night.

Metropolitan Police were dispatched to investigate reports of a ‘man on the roof’ after which he was found dead.

In a statement, a spokesperson said: ‘Officers responded to concerns for a man on the roof of a building in Cockspur Street, Westminster at 23:02 hours on Thursday, 30 October.

‘The man sadly fell from height. Despite the best efforts from the London Ambulance service, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

‘His death is unexpected but non-suspicious.’

The London Ambulance service was also called to the scene, and a spokesperson said: ‘We were called at 10:59pm on Thursday, 30 October to reports of an incident on Spring Gardens, City of Westminster.

‘We sent resources to the scene, including an ambulance crew, an incident response officer, paramedics in fast response cars and paramedics from our hazardous area response team (HART).

‘Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene.’

In a tribute on Facebook, broadcaster Mike Hollingsworth wrote: ‘My dear, dear friend Benjamin (Ben) Duncan has left us.

‘He lived life as Peter Pan – the boy who never grew up. He will be sorely missed by his many, many friends, who grew to love his charm, his wit, his infectious laugh and his innate sense of style. The world is a poorer place for his passing. RIP Benji.’

‘Ben was always the life and soul of the party. Although he appeared on reality TV shows, Ben’s true passions were politics and music.

‘In recent years, he had become more reclusive – and had struggled with insomnia. It’s truly devastating that he’s gone so soon,’ a friend told Daily Mail.

He appeared in the same season of Big Brother as Josie Gibson, who went on to win.

Duncan was a prominent member of the Big Brother cohort, sparking discourse after declaring he would do anything to avoid a nine-to-five job, and sometimes clashing with the others.

Discussing his time on the show with Digital Spy, he said: ‘The Marios and John Jameses have tantrums and explode. I’m pretty laidback and not like that, but I have a very sarcastic sense of humour…. if they hurt people’s feelings then I regret that.’

Other reality shows the late Duncan appeared in also include Come Dine With Me, Ladette to Lady and Celebrity Coach Trip.

Speaking about his time with Prince William and Kate at university, he said: ‘Because we’d had Will and Kate in our midst, we had royal protection officers swarming the place.

‘We knew that they had hit it off and we knew that something was happening, but they were just left alone to get on with it,’ he said in 2010.

Marjorie Johnson obit

Marjorie Johnson, Minnesota’s ‘Blue Ribbon Baker,’ dies

 

She was not on the list.

Minnesota’s famous “Blue Ribbon Baker,” Marjorie Johnson, has died at the age of 106.

Her family confirmed the news on Thursday. Known as the Blue Ribbon Baker, was an American baker from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, born in Hennepin County, Minnesota

Johnson, who won countless blue ribbons at county and state fairs, regularly visited 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS and Twin Cities Live at the Minnesota State Fair, highlighting her beloved recipes and cookbook.

Despite her diminutive, sub-5-foot-tall frame, Johnson was a giant, becoming a darling not only in Minnesota but on many national television shows as well, thanks to her lively personality and passion for baking.

irst made famous through her guest appearances on KSTP radio's Garage Logic, she appeared on numerous talk shows, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The View, and The Kelly Clarkson Show in September 2019 at age 100. Johnson won over 2,500 fair ribbons, including over 1,000 blue ribbons and numerous sweepstakes ribbons.

Johnson was born on August 9, 1919. She had dwarfism, with a height of 4 ft 8 in (142.24 cm).

In 2007, she became the newest correspondent for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She brought her home-made cooking to such events as the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the Emmy Awards, and the Grammy Awards. She published the book The Road to Blue Ribbon Baking: With Marjorie in 2007.

Johnson turned 100 on August 9, 2019.

Scott Sorry obit

Scott Sorry, former bassist with The Wildhearts, dead at 47

 Singer-songwriter Scott Sorry also played with Brides Of Destruction and Sorry and the Sinatras

He was not on the list.

Scott Sorry, the American singer-songwriter who played bass with UK rockers The Wildhearts for five years, has died at the age of 47. The news was broken in a statement published on social media by his family.

"We’re heartbroken to share that Scott Sorry has passed away after a long and incredibly brave fight with brain cancer," the statement reads. "Scott passed away on his 47th birthday, October 30, 2025.

"After being diagnosed with glioblastoma back in 2018, Scott refused to let it define him. He outlived every doctor's expectation, turning months into years, and even made it back to the UK in 2022 for a tour – something that meant the world to him. He was so grateful to be able to play again, to see so many familiar faces and to personally thank so many of you who had supported him through it all.

"We’re devastated beyond words, but there’s comfort in knowing he’s finally free from pain. His strength, humour, and heart will stay with us forever.

"Scott is survived by his wife Hanni and his three children River, Ryder and Rörik."

Sorry was born in Philadelphia, PA, in October 1978. After starting his career in a series of local punk bands, he played with cult Los Angeles punks Amen for two years, before replacing Mötley Crüe man Nikki Sixx in LA supergroup Brides Of Destruction. Wildhearts frontman Ginger Wildheart joined the band at the same time but was unable to commit to the band full-time, and his tenure was brief.

After playing on the Brides Of Destruction's second and final album Runaway Brides, Sorry departed in 2007 and joined Ginger in a new lineup of The Wildhearts, where he played on three albums: The Wildhearts, Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1. and ¡Chutzpah!.

"He had this youthful zest we’d lost a long time ago, reminding us why it was good," Ginger Wildheart told Classic Rock. "There’s a lot of dark times associated with The Wildhearts so it's hard to just go, ‘Yeah let’s get back together, this’ll be fun’ because if there’s one thing it’s never, it’s fun. Scott came in and provided the fun."

Sorry announced his departure from the band in 2012 to spend more time with his family and look after his eldest son, who had been diagnosed with autism.

"It is with much respect and a heavy heart I am bowing out of my favourite band," he said. "I just can’t commit to the time the band would need from me anymore. I love those guys like brothers and wish them and you all the best. I’m sure I’ll see you all again as retirement doesn’t really stick well to guys like me, but for now I bid you a fond farewell."

Sorry also played with Sorry and the Sinatras, whose six-year, two-album career ran parallel with his stint in The Wildhearts, and released his debut solo album, When We Were Kings, in 2016.

In late 2017, Sorry was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain tumour. A GoFundMe page was launched to assist with his medical expenses and fans raised nearly $50,000, while the Wildhearts swiftly organised a benefit show. In the wake of the 2020 death of Rush drummer Neil Peart – who had also been diagnosed with glioblastoma – Sorry wrote about living with the disease.

"When someone dies from the same one you have, you can’t help but wonder... 'Am I next?'", he wrote. "You Google 'glioblastoma survivors' and Google says, 'Sorry dude, you're fucked.' You keep searching and searching and searching and can’t find anything on glioblastoma survivors. You get more desperate and terrified. You start shaking and lose your temper when someone asks, 'What's wrong?'

"Until you look in the mirror and realise a survivor is looking right back at you. A real live cancer survivor right in front of you. I was diagnosed two years ago. I’m still here. I’m holding strong. I’m not a 'Google search'. I’m a dude living a pretty great life doing some pretty cool shit. It’s hard to remember that sometimes. So I am writing this for anyone who goes down a rabbit hole looking for a little bit of hope and comes across this letter."

Sorry was able to return to the stage in 2022, and played a 12-date UK tour alongside Grand Theft Auto and CJ Wildheart.

"After a turbulent stretch, we couldn’t be happier to get back to the UK," Sorry said. "It’s a second home for me and I’ve truly missed all our friends and fans... At one point, I thought we’d never be on tour together again. This is by all means a dream come true."

Burt Meyer obit

Lite-Brite, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots toymaker Burt Meyer dead at 99

 

He was not on the list.

The inventor behind classic toys like Lite-Brite, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots and many iconic board games has died at the age of 99 after a life of adventure and bringing joy to generations of kids all over the world.

Burt Meyer wasn’t a household name to most, but many of his most famous creations need no introduction, having graced the bookshelves and game rooms of millions of households for more than 60 years.

He got the idea for Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots after visiting an arcade in the early 1960s with his then-boss, Marvin Glass, when the duo spied a coin-operated machine that let players face off in a simulated boxing match using human-like combatants, the New York Times reported.

Meyer got to work sculpting the models for what would eventually become the best-selling toy, but the project was put on hold when real-life boxer Davey Moore died of a brain injury after a featherweight title fight with Sugar Ramos in 1963, according to the report.

The tragedy reportedly led him to revise the pugilists’ appearance to robots, known as the Red Rocker and the Blue Bomber, to soften the level of violence a bit.

The final version featured a boxing ring and two sets of joysticks players could use to control the battling bots, where a well-timed sock to the jaw caused the spring-loaded head of the recipient to comically pop up.

Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots was first manufactured in 1964 and remains in production today — in 2011, Time magazine ranked it the 49th greatest toy of all time, and it was prominently featured in the animated Pixar movie “Toy Story 2.”

But Meyer’s favorite creation was Lite-Brite, which let users create collages of colored lights using translucent colored pegs stuck into a holed grid that was covered with a piece of black construction paper to enhance the effect, according to the report.

This time, inspiration struck when he saw a Manhattan building decked out with a luminous display featuring hundreds of small lights.

The Lite-Brite was an instant hit, selling more than 20 million units since being licensed by Hasbro and released in 1967.

Time magazine ranked it 55th in its all-time greatest toy rankings, and it was prominently featured in two 2022 episodes of the Netflix smash-hit series set in the 1980s, “Stranger Things,” which led to a 600% spike in sales, according to the outlet.

During his run of winning concepts in the 1960s, Meyer also lent his creative eye to the creation of the board game Mouse Trap, in which players compete to build a Rube Goldberg-like contraption to capture plastic rodents.

Over the years, games and toys devised by or with the input of Meyer were licensed to companies like Ideal, Mattel, Hasbro, Parker Brothers and Louis Marx and Company.

Meyer parted ways with Marvin Glass in the 1980s to start his own games maker, Meyer/Glass Design, and he wasn’t done cranking out the hits just yet, the Times reported.

His new firm was responsible for popular games including Pretty Pretty Princess, Catch Phrase and the cartoonishly disgusting Gooey Louie, in which players attempted to pluck boogers from the titular character’s oversized nose.

Born April 18, 1926 in Hinsdale, Illinois to a pharmacist father and homemaker mother, Meyer spent two years in the US Navy as an aircraft mechanic before attending West Georgia College and the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology, graduating in 1952 with a degree in product design, the report said.

He was an avid adventurer, flying single-engine planes until his late 80s. He also took a 45-day solo bicycle trip from San Francisco to Charleston, scuba-dived in Fiji and the Solomon Islands and visited the North Pole for a 135-mile trek lasting 12 days at the age of 69, according to the Times.

Meyer is survived by his daughter, Sheryl and sons Lee and Steve, the latter of whom was president of Meyer/Glass until its closure in 2006. He also leaves behind six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

His wife, Marcia, predeceased him in 2001.

Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park

 The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

He was not on the list.

I do not believe that the anti-globalisation protest will ever reach its true fruition if we leave the cinema and television and the radio in the present position we’re in.” – Peter Watkins

Peter Watkins is something of an enigma in the history of moving image production. He is celebrated as an innovator of the docudrama form, yet the socio-political elements in his work go largely undiscussed. The films he made in the 1960s are rightly lionised in the UK but his later works have, historically, been almost entirely ignored. The quote above has much to do with these omissions, even if indirectly.

Taken from a 30-minute monologue delivered direct to camera in 2001 in a communist theme park in Lithuania (his nation of residence at the time), Watkins’ words reflect a media critique developed through the course of his entire filmography and more recently expressed in the lengthy and regularly updated media statement on his website. Troubled by the passive, hierarchical, spectacle-based relationship he felt cinema or television establishes with the viewer, Watkins sought through his own work to deconstruct this dynamic and explore possible alternatives. Inevitably, by engaging with the political structures of media delivery, he frequently fell into conflict with the very institutions that once supported him.

Watkins was born in Norbiton, Surrey, in 1935 and was quickly initiated into the cultures of war and conflict though house moves necessitated by World War Two and later national service. After education at Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, he settled in Canterbury and joined and later directed the local acting group, Playcraft. The group helped him with his early amateur films and established Watkins’ practice of working closely with actors.

He liked to use everyday faces to emphasise and bring home the legacies of violent conflict. The Diary of an Unknown Soldier (1959) and The Forgotten Faces (1961) (following the now lost or incomplete films The Web (1956) and Field of Red (1958)) made clear this intention and used handheld cameras and tight framing to generate immediacy. The latter transposed the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 onto the streets of Canterbury and posed the radical question: what would the oppressed do in the shoes of the oppressors? It was recognised as one of the ‘Ten Best’ non-professional productions of the year by Amateur Cine World and received national distribution. Watkins was then invited, like one-time amateurs Ken Russell and John Schlesinger, to join the BBC.

His time there was short, however, and marred by considerable controversy. His first production, Culloden (1964), presented the 1746 Battle of Culloden as a news report, complete with modern camera crew, interviews, narration and dramatic action sequences. The press generally responded well. Recognising its highly innovative deconstruction of television conventions, the Guardian called it “an unforgettable experiment… new and adventurous in technique.” However, Watkins was disappointed that its provocations concerning the severity of British violence and the dismantling of the Scottish clans had not been related to contemporary issues and concerns: namely the Vietnam War which was being reported on television at the time.

The same could not be said of The War Game, intended for broadcast in 1966. Using statistics extrapolated from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings and quotes from high-ranking officials, the film dared to consider the possible consequences of a nuclear strike on Britain. Again realised in the documentary style, using actors to present faux interviews and actuality, the shocking and politically potent result prompted BBC director general Hugh Carlton Greene to proclaim that “it was too horrific for the medium of broadcast”.

Concerns over the notion of withheld information and the breakdown of normal behaviour had been particularly singled out in the discussions. It emerged in 1985, however, that Harold Wilson’s Labour government had intervened to stop the broadcast. The War Game was released to cinemas in March 1966 and won, with some irony, an Oscar for best documentary feature. Although in many respects it prefigured several of the docudrama techniques famously used in Cathy Come Home (1966), the film’s innovative cross-framing of fact and fiction met with resistance in some quarters. In retrospect, this can be seen as an opening skirmish in what would become an increasingly rancorous battle over such hybrid drama/documentary forms during the 1970s.

Although the controversy certainly affected his career in Britain, it also sharpened his developing critique of media practice and led to offers of funding from abroad. Universal Studios produced Privilege (1967) and Stockholm-based distributors Sandrews produced The Gladiators (1969, released under the title The Peace Game in Britain, presumably to capitalise at least in part on the controversy surrounding The War Game). Both films were shot on 35mm (the only occasions Watkins used the format) by Peter Suschitzky and looked at the use of scapegoats — respectively a pop star and an international gladiator competition — to suppress the critical faculties of the populace and channel violent emotions. Privilege broke with Watkins’ practice of using amateur actors, but drew power instead from the use of a real pop star: Paul Jones from Manfred Mann

The Gladiators had been made against the political disquiet of 1968 but Watkins’ temporary move to the USA brought him even closer to the increasingly polarised politics of the age. Punishment Park (1971) told of a fictional detention system that challenged potential subversives to either surrender to detention or undergo a physically challenging ordeal in the heat of the American desert. Using a small crew and just one camera, Watkins worked with actors genuinely critical of the system and increased the scope of improvisation. The results brought a startling immediacy to the film and a palpable sense of realism — often people’s lines and actions seemed wholly ‘real’. The lines of fact and fiction further blurred when one actor was later convicted of a bombing charge and sent to federal prison.

The importance of camera movement and the giving of space to Watkins’ collaborators — to both research their roles and improvise — were extended through a series of Scandinavian productions made through the 1970s. The Seventies People (70-Talets Människor, 1975) looked at the relationship between modern living and suicide, a significant and current concern for the television production’s country of origin, Denmark. Though the story focused on two families it had been developed from newspaper ads that asked for volunteers to step forward and talk about modern stress — again the actors’ involvement was crucial. In contrast, The Trap (Fällan, 1975) was set in the future and imagined a difficult family reunion in underground living quarters close to a nuclear waste station. Here the freedoms were given to the Swedish television crew who were asked to direct their own cameras rather than follow orders. 1977’s Eveningland (Aftenlandet, 1977) was another political story placed in the future.

The earlier Edvard Munch (1974) had also encouraged personal research and improvisation but it incorporated significant and highly sophisticated editing techniques too. This was intended to encourage a more involved response on the part of the audience. Highly personal, this biopic of the Norwegian artist vividly explored the complexity of meaning contained in a work of art via fragmented narrative and impressionistic montage. It suggested, for example, that Munch’s visceral etching action was directly linked to his traumatic life and memories, vividly presented here. It implied that Watkins’ personal narration (a consistent trope in his work) and mobile camera work belonged to a similar relationship. Like all his films from The Diary of an Unknown Soldier onward, Edvard Munch highlighted the difficulties individuals experience and the pressures they undergo, both personal and political. Perhaps for the first time though, it implicitly implicated the director.

If Edvard Munch was complex, then The Journey (1983 to 1987) elevated the scope of Watkins’ ambitions to a whole new level. An internationally funded 14-hour, 30-minute discursive education package, it simultaneously updated much of the information contained in The War Game about the nuclear threat, critiqued the manipulative and heavily edited mainstream media practice — hereafter labelled by Watkins the ‘Monoform’ — and initiated and documented a dialogue between several families separated by ideology and considerable expanses of geography. Like much of his work, particularly his Scandinavian films, The Journey encountered much production and exhibition difficulty. Its lengthy duration effectively ruled out standard presentation, but Watkins encouraged the film to be seen in chapters, dividing it into 45-minute sections to this end. Each concludes with a question mark to prompt discussion — another dialectical technique.

The debates in and reaction to The Journey have remained central to a consideration of Watkins’ films. Its complex concerns mirror the quote that opens this text, in that it recognises the international status of political debate but argues that new maps through which to engage in communication need to be constructed. The media statement on his website addresses these issues, as have his last two films, The Free Thinker (1994) and La Commune (Paris, 1871) (2000). The latter uses various Brechtian techniques to explore the story of the Paris Commune, a radical, non-hierarchical collective that formed in Paris in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War. These techniques include the characters’ use of a television station to report on clashes with the army and the actors admitting the bias of both their character’s actions and their own.

Although plagued with production difficulties – often amounting to outright obstruction – and in many cases very hard to see, the scope, critical weight and level of experimentation in Watkins’ films is undeniable. In an age when the media stranglehold on both our lives and the means by which we communicate is ever tightening, his films remain a vital tool for considering new forms of image-making and a vibrant and engaging force in their own right.
