Steve Fonyo, the B.C. cancer survivor who ran across Canada with a prosthetic leg a teen has died at 56.



The family won't have an idea about his cause of death until at least Tuesday, when a coroner is available she said.

I aint like we didn't see this coming. The only surprise is that the brother lived to be fifty six.

Actress Sally Kellerman, who was best known for her role of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in the film M*A*S*H* has died aged 84, her manager has confirmed.



Kellerman, who had been suffering from dementia, died of heart failure at her assisted care facility in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, according to her son Jack Krane.



The Oscar nominated star had a career spanning over 60 years, staring in more than 150 movies and TV shows. A keen jazz singer, she also sang and had a Grand Funk Railroad tune written for her.



Working primarily in television early in her career, she appeared in shows including The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.



Her appearance in the original Star Trek pilot as Dr Elizabeth Dehner won her cult status among fans. But it was her portrayal of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in director Robert Altman's 1970 army comedy M*A*S*H* which really put her on the map.



She said the role of Major Houlihan - a straitlaced, by-the-book army nurse who is tormented by rowdy doctors during the Korean war - brought out the best in her.



"It was a very freeing, positive experience," she told Dick Cavett in a 1970 TV interview. "For the first time in my life I took chances, I didn't suck in my cheeks, or worry about anything."



The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, with Kellerman's best supporting actress providing its only nod despite a cast that included Robert Duvall, Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould.

I 've seen the MASH movie. Sally Kellerman was not as good at Major Margaret Houlihan as Loretta Swit.

William Hurt, an Oscar winner for Kiss of the Spider Woman who often played a quiet intellectual in his early acting roles but later took more strident turns in science fiction and Marvel films, has died just a week before his 72nd birthday..



In May 2018 it was reported that William Hurt had terminal prostate cancer that had spread to the bone.

Yeah probably.... but there is at least a correlation between the jabs and death with people who were diagnosed and young people who normally wouldn't be diagnosed.
Blahhhhhh...

I think you'll find a higher proportion of cancer sufferers in the over 60 bracket.

That's true, but this country lost a national treasure, Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip to cancer at age fifty four.

He was an integral part of that golden era during the 90's...a lot of the characters and storylines were his.

He had hip replacement surgery last week, but suffered a serious complication when a blood clot got loose.
