Not seen any reference here yet to Milos Forman, Hollywood director - responsible for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus" amongst many other films.

Mostly 'cause I didn't know he was dead until I read your post.

Full Metal Jacket, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and some Speedway that's my "Tribute" viewing sorted for tonight. Maybe a Jelly Donut and some Juicy Fruit on the side

It was mentioned on Radio 4 news a few times over the weekend. That's how I found out.

Didn't you see the programmes he did from Florida that went out a few months ago?

He looked unwell and is if he'd suffered a stroke. One side of his body wasn't functioning well.

[anonymous-user]

Thinking about it, he has spoken about his depression and his mother died of a barbituates overdose.

Wonder if he comited suicide?

Probably coke and alcohol over the years, can't remember what chemical the two make but it weakens the heart.
