Sad to lose Martin Landau at 89 who made a big impression on me as a child watching him don endless diguises as Rollin Hand on the original Mission:Impossible on TV. He and then wife Barbara Bain helped make that an edge of your seat, classic show that inspires the movies to this day. And his was a career spanning the 1950s to present from being pals with James Dean to being a memorable heavy for Hitchcock's North by Northwest to his fame on TV to the first X Files movie to Oscar nominated roles for Woody Allen, Francis Coppola, and finally a win in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. He was scheduled to appear at The MidAtlantic Nostalgia convention this fall. Sorry to miss a real part of Hollywood history but grateful for the memorable roles.
