Michael McGuire was technically not the "lead" Columbo killer in his episode (though he does kill his wife). That was the episode where Richard Kiley, playing Columbo's boss helps McGuire cover-up the killing in exchange for McGuire later alibing Kiley's murder of his own wife.

Yep I know this. It was only recently that I looked him up and found to my surprise that he was still alive and kicking (whereas Richard Kiley died many years ago). And his character did commit the crime.

There was also the explosives expert from Publish Or Perish who committed the first murder but he died years ago, too.

US actress Alice Hirson (Dallas) is 95 today.

And British actor Oscar Quitak passed away in December. Not reported by the media, which is why I only just found out.

89 year old Vernon Dobtcheff was at a Doctor Who convention in Sheffield yesterday (pictured below, with Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury). Absolutely charming by all accounts. He asked every fan what their name was, where they're from and what they do for a living.
