R.G. Armstrong 1917-2012
Character actor (and playwright) R.G. Armstrong passed away on July 27. Born in 1971 and perhaps best known for his work with director Sam Peckinpah, he was a familiar face to western movie fans. He attended the University of North Carolina and along with classmate Andy Griffith he acted on stage with the Carolina Playmakers. I especially liked him as the sheriff in Race With The Devil. He will be missed.

Happy Birthday Mario Bava
Born on this day in 1914 (and passed away in 1980), the great Italian director of such classics as Black Sunday, Hercules in the Haunted World , Blood & Black Lace and my favorite KIll Baby KIll. . With the Redemption/Kino announced Bava Blu-ray's starting to come coming out this fall this is a good time to be a Bava fan.
