Uncredited work must have proof. A good quality screencap of their appearance - even extras/background artists! - is a great start.  Other proof would be screencaps from official sourced behind-the-scenes extras from DVDs/BRDs/VHS, live on-set video feeds, on-set personal photos, playbills, official site mention, etc.

Richard Bonehill - Cause of Death

Richard Bonehill Death

Cause of actor Richard Bonehill's death was revealed today...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/star-wars-actor-richard-bonehill-7429366

< A minor error in the reporting (not about the death itself, but his acting): Bonehill DID play Nien Nunb in full body shot, but was not the Nien Nunb in the Millennium Falcon with Lando (Billy Dee Williams), that was Mike Quinn. >

Easily, my favorite entry for this update is Mardji the elephant.

Saruman artwork by L. Mangue (ask if you'd like to share)

Sir Christopher Lee's page is finished...

I readily admit at being lost for a few days in the amazing-ness of Lee's graceful and commanding presence. There are still a few things which are missing and some screengrabs I just couldn't get. If you have access to any of the shows or films, please make a good grab and I'll add that to his credit with a thanks to you.

Please, enjoy the gift that was Christopher Lee.

Tim Hildebrandt (1939 - 2006)

I'm truly saddened to report that one half of the team that brought us that first Star Wars poster back in 1977 is gone. Tim Hildebrandt died yesterday from complications of diabetes. He was 67 years old.

The Hildebrandt's were one of my first inspirations when it came to drawing, I was particularly smitten with their use of color, placement of their subjects and that they were just cool guys who loved what they did and loved to share.

I had met them, as so many others did, on several occasions many years ago at conventions in Los Angeles. It was just neat to be around them and listen to anything they said.Here is a bio and the site of the brothers Hildebrandt. Some Star Wars art from their site.

A Google search will give you a world of wonderful art at your fingertips and you can marvel at their enormous talent.

I hope that as Star Wars fans we can make an effort to send Greg Hildebrandt our best at this time. click on "Tim Hildebrandt" above to see where to write.

So sorry to have to add this sort of blog entry.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Hildebrandt, you'll be missed.

Hamilton Camp (1934 - 2005)

Another Star Wars related actor has passed.

Hamilton Camp (Rune Haako in Galactic Battlegrounds) died suddenly on October 2, 2005 of heart failure. He was an actor, a singer and a songwriter.

As I try to pick out some easily recognizable performances for people I find a few...In 1968 he turned out a cover song of Bob Dylan's This Wheel's On Fire which many would recognize now from the BBC series Absolutely Fabulous. Camp also played in Joe Dirt as Meteor Bert, and in December of 2004 he played Brian Linder on an episode of Desperate Housewives. But Camp may have been most famous for half of the folk duo Gibson & Camp.

Camp was busy up until his death. He had worked on stage (A Noise Within), on TV (Desperate Housewives), an original album (name unknown) which will be released before the end of this year and film (Hard Four) which was supposed to be released in September of this year.
