Christopher Tolkien.

Genuinely saddened by this. He was every bit as remarkable as his father and his contributions and development of Tolkien's work cannot be overstated.
RIP.

Re: Celebs are still dropping off....
Eh, he always struck me as a cumudgeon who never got over the fact his father was a much better writer than he was, and spent all his time trying to "protect the legacy" rather than letting people actually see how the sausage was made.
I certainly didn't wish him dead or anything but I felt he impeded more than he facilitated access to his father's work.

Re: Celebs are still dropping off....
He was certainly highly protective of the works, which is understandable given pretty much his entire life from childhood was dedicated to them. I only really got a sense of how much input he had in The Hobbit and LOTR after reading Tolkien's letters, and while it would be a huge stretch to call him a co-author, he played a massive and vital part in the writing of those books. And of course were it not for him, the tales of Middle Earth would have ended with JRR Tolkien.

That's a huge loss. One less Python in the world makes it a duller place.

Re: Celebs are still dropping off....
What a fucking shame.
This is not something I usually say as I look at the age of someone and consider whether their life has been cut short.
77 is a good innings but it's denied us someone who's wit would have only got better if not for dementia.
I'm going to link to this hear in case anyone missed it - it's from a long time ago (not really considering Terry Jones looks hail and well)

Dementia. Yet another bastard the human race has to contend with.
