The "which famous person died today" thread

Sofia Coppola got the gig as the original choice Winona Ryder dropped out due to 'nervous exhaustion' (breakdown possibly at the end of her relationship with Johnny Depp). The surname should give you a clue. The director Francis Ford Coppola was a relative. Sofia wasn't an actress and gave a sub standard performance. She later gained a measure of fame as a director of women related films (eg the Virgin suicides)

Nicolas Cage is also related.

I do like Manhattan a lot. But if I had to rank them, I liked Annie Hall best (“Max, are we driving through plutonium?”), then Sleeper, then Radio Days and Deconstructing Harry, which IMO are both quite underrated. Mighty Aphrodite was good too. Plenty to choose from!

Very sad about the emerging news regarding Ace Frehley. I have been a huge fan of KISS ever since their first British gig at the Free Trade Hall. Ace’s distinctive guitar work was a key part of their best work.

RIP Spaceman.

Aside from the 'early, funny ones' I have a lot of time for Stardust Memories, Midnight in Paris and M Murder Mystery...but theres not much Allen that I dislike. Interiors maybe....and that one in Barcelona, name escapes me.
