Thank you for this wonderful website. Both my late husband, Howard Caine and my current husband, Donald Elson are honored here. A bouquet of flowers to you, my dear, for your making this beautiful tribute to Actors and their roles.

I have to admit that although not my type of film, I do have to praise the detail and incredible work that has gone into the listing for My Name Is Khan. Not only are there an enormous amount of actors covered (I counted 65) but the amount of release dates as well must have taken a while to compile (I know, I remember when I used to do them with my own listings).
What makes this even more of a standout is the relative obscurity of the film itsself.
Sometimes a listing stands out enough that I feel compelled to congratulate the contributor. This, in my opinion, is WildChild's best work to date..... good work.

British actress Nancy Nevinson passed away on January 25, 2012. The word actress is not mentioned in the available part of the obituary (it's been archived), but it mentions that she died at 93 at Glebelands. It is known that Nevinson was a resident of Glebelands. I seriously doubt that there could have been two 93 year old Nancy Nevinsons in such a small place as Glebelands. Remarkable though that her death hasn't been mentioned elsewhere in the media. She was hardly an unknown actress.

In the screen captures of The Bridal Path, there is an omission, the character Katie, played by Fiona Clyne. I do have a screen capture of my own, but I'm not sure how to post it here.

After much deliberation, I've decided Mr. Mwangi is the guy cured by the "healing earth" at the start of the film. I've sent a screenshot by E-mail.
I think the listing is long overdue an update and I know that there are some enthusiasts who look at/work on the site who are capable of doing a good job with this.

For those who would like to know...
I sent this e-mail to The Cinema and Televison Benevolent Fund:
Dear CTBF!
I am a libriarian and a movie buff from the north of Sweden. I recently came across an obituary regarding a certain Nancy Nevinson, who had passed away 93 years old at Glebelands on January 25 this year. Since Glebelands is a retirement home for movie and televison personalities, I now wonder if the recently deceased Nevinson is the famous actress. I have long admired her work and have enjoyed watching her in movies like S.O.S Titanic , Raise the Titanic (she and Sir Alec Guinness!!!) and Jesus of Nazareth. Not to mention all her TV appearances. If it indeed is she who has passed then it is great shame that her passing has'nt been mentioned more in the media. Her legacy deserves much more.
I have know received a reply which confirms the actress passing:
Dear Mr Andersson
My apologies for not replying sooner to your e-mail.
It was indeed the Nancy Nevinson who sadly passed away at Glebelands on the 25 January. She was a great character and is sadly missed by all who knew during her time at Glebelands.

I would just like to point out a small error regarding the screen caps for Dr. No. The man identified as Byron Lee ("Singer at Puss Feller's") is in fact not Byron Lee, but a member of his band. Mr. Lee appears a couple of seconds later, playing his electric bass and exchanging a few words with Lester Pendergast as Puss Feller.
I see the internet database has removed Roger Moore name from the The Devil in the Fog (2012), so I don't think he is it. This info can be found on the following webpages http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2188905/fullcredits
By the way just wondering if you have received any new pics from Donald Duck.

I think the idea to incorporate "on this day" films and tv shows on the front page is a great idea. In what seems to be a largely experimental theme with the home page of late, this is the best idea since the birthday actors was introduced. This means that certain almost-forgotten films and tv shows are once again remembered and their actors re-visited. It keeps the site looking fresh and opens up extra options to explore deeper parts of the site that maybe get overlooked sometimes. Nice to see "Bad Girls" up there too.

Sorry about the bad choice of words! Not meant to be rude. Just wanted to point out that someone must have been thinking about something else while updating. By the way, when speaking about mistakes : Mina Bern passed away in 2010 not 2012. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/theater/13bern.html

I think someone must have been asleep here! I wrote that Broyles passed away February 12, 2011, but you have written that he passed away on February 12, 2012!! Thats a whole year too late. Change please...

I'm really quite surprised that a movie website as good as this hasn't mentioned one single word or made one single reference to the TITANIC disaster this week?

WearySloth-
Just checking if you received my email with screenshots from King of Kings (taken via camera phone).
And if that quality is sufficient. If so , I will begin sending through more

Have to say that I was just looking through the revamped listing for A Night To Remember and it is definitely a great collaborative effort by everybody who contributed to it. I particularly like the bunched "Unknowns" together (a good idea for further listings to save so many wasted "unknown actor" pages) and Dave Wright's notes, which if you think about it are bang on.
With so many films listed on this site after a while every one seems to look like the last, but this page in particular really stands out.
Great stuff.
Incidentally, if anyone reading this is tempted to buy the film on Blu-Ray... I have done so and believe it it is spotless. Look for the scene when Captain Smith gets the bullhorn and instructs the passengers to abandon ship. Look at the cutaway scene and you can faintly see what appears to be Pinewood Studios car-park in the background with a fence - right where the ocean should be! The definition is so clear you can see things that you shouldn't be able to see!

Just a heads up, but I sent another couple big zip files your way with headshots and other screengrabs. I tried to crop them as much as I could in accordance with the site's (unposted) guidelines.

Two months ago I e-mailed screenshots from an episode Mad About You and I just wanted to know if you received them since they haven't been posted on your site yet. Thank you.

I sent an email (to the address listed on aveleyman.com) with a .rar file of several different features and TV show credit shots, as well as opening credits, logo and closing credits.
I hope you don't mind me asking you but where did you get your information on Faith Brooks death. As I have just looked at BBC World's Entertainment webpages and there is no mention of her death there.?

I was very saddened to learn of Davy's passing. Incidentally,he guest starred in one of the "New Scooby-Doo
Movies" as himself. The title was
"Scooby-Doo meets Davy Jones"

Hmmm I wonder if Meryl Streep will get screwed out of yet another potential Oscar?
Clearly the greatest living actress of our era or from the past 30 years, her track record and CV speaks for itsself.... yet for some reason the Academy always seem to find some excuse not to give her the win.
Good luck Meryl, and thank you for the dozens of fantastic performances you have put in over the years.

Hi Dave,
I have been admiring your pin-sharp 'Danger Man' screen captures, and wonder if I might ask what software you use to grab them? By comparison, my 'Interpol calling' screen captures are rather muddy.
BTW I have 'Danger Man' episode 'The Nurse' if you need captures therefrom.
Regards,
Hugh

I recently acquired a five-DVD set of 'Interpol Calling', the 1959 series starring Charles Korvin and Edwin Richfield, and would love to contribute episode information and screen captures to supplement what is already shown. Could someone please advise the preferred jpg size please? Many thanks, Hugh

Hey, just to let you know on Batman Begins you have the pictures for Tom Wu and Mark Chiu the wrong way round. there's a pic of Chiu here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/philthytruth/2592232198/in/photostream/ and you already have pics of Tom Wu from other films on the site, and you can see from the facial resemblance they need to be swapped. Great site btw!

i'm not trying to sound rude, but quite a while ago the site claimed to be working on the Bond films, but none have been updated for ages. i expect i just miss seeing all the fantastic effort on them.
