JOHN GIELGUD: 1904-2000 John Gielgud HOLLYWOOD, May 22, 2000 -- Distinguished veteran British actor John Gielgud, who won a 1981 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for playing proper butler to a sauced millionaire in the Dudley Moore comedy "Arthur," has died, his family said today. He was 96. Gielgud died at his London-area home. The cause of death was not disclosed, but he was, like we said, 96. A theater legend, his TV and film career boasted 130 credits, including stops in: Laurence Olivier's "Hamlet" (1948), Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet" (1996) and "Arthur 2: On the Rocks" (1988). As an aside to "Star Wars" fans, Gielgud is not to be confused for (although he frequently was) fellow distinguished veteran British actor Alec (Obi-Wan) Guinness, who is 86, and still alive.

HOLLYWOOD, July 1, 2000 -- Oscar-winning actor Walter Matthau -- cantankerous funnyman par excellence -- died early today at a Santa Monica, Calif., hospital. He was 79. Cause of death was a heart attack. The star had been in poor health in recent years. In April, he was hospitalized for a hairline fracture in his vertebra. In 1999, pneumonia struck. And in 1995, he was hospitalized for the removal of a nonmalignant tumor. Matthau made his film debut as a villain in 1955 with "The Kentuckian." The actor came into comedic prominence in 1968 with "The Odd Couple" alongside his frequent partner-in-wisecracks Jack Lemmon. The pair’s onscreen collaboration continued for three more decades and includes films such as "Kotch" (1971), "Buddy Buddy" (1981) and "Grumpy Old Men" (1993). Besides earning two Tony Awards early in his stage career, Matthau won an Oscar for Best S

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2000 -- Filmmaker Roger Vadim, best known for discovering Brigitte Bardot and keeping company with the likes of Jane Fonda and Catherine Deneuve, died today of cancer. He was 72.The Paris-born Vadim was married to the then-teenage Bardot when he made his directorial debut in 1956 with "And God Created Woman." The film launched Bardot's career as a sex symbol and stirred much talk for its outrageous (at the time) unveiling of her skin. In the short run, "And God ..." was banned in several countries. In the long run, it helped launch France's New Wave film movement of the 1950s.In 1965, Vadim wed a 27-year-old, pre-controversial Jane Fonda (his third wife). Two years later, the couple teamed to reveal Fonda's own assets on screen with the Vadim-directed sci-fi cult hit "Barbarella". The couple had one daughter, Vanessa, before splitt

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 1, 2000 -- Looks like there's going to be one less crime-solving series on TV. NBC has pulled its rookie drama "Deadline" after just five weeks due to poor performance, Daily Variety reports. Ratings for the series, which follows the exploits of a journalist and crime solver played by Oliver Platt, had slipped consistently since its debut on Oct. 2. The peacock netowrk is expected to announce a long-term replacement for the show's 8-9 p.m. Monday slot. For the next two weeks, a repeat episode of "Law & Order" and the miniseries "In the Beginning" are slated to fill the vacany. 'FAMILY' VALUE: Can we expect fart jokes, or how about a brutal death in every episode a la Kenny? Anyway, Daily Variety says that "South Park" dudes Matt Stone and Trey Parker have signed a deal to develop a new series with Comedy Central. The show, titled "Family First," i
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 17, 2000 -- No more cheesy poofs? Say it ain’t so! Word comes today from the New York Post that the creators of “South Park,” that flatulence-obsessed, toilet-minded (and really funny) cartoon, are seriously thinking about calling it quits. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are reportedly being courted by both NBC and Michael Ovitz’s ATG agency to produce a network show -- and if that happens, you can say bye-bye to Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and the gang. Parker and Stone are under contract to make six more “South Park” episodes this year for Comedy Central. After that, they might well take flight and fry some bigger fish. The Post says the duo is being offered a budget in the $1 million-per-episode range for a network show, while Comedy Central affords them about $400,000 to $500,000 to make each “South Park.” If only they’d won the Oscar for that
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 30, 2000 -- Picky stations and antsy advertisers were bad enough. And then "God, the Devil and Bob" had to go and commit the worst TV sin: Bad ratings. NBC announced Wednesday that it was pulling the half-hour animated series from its 8:30 p.m. Tuesday time slot effective immediately. For "God," the end came after only four broadcasts. In a statement, the network said it was "very proud of the work" but "disappointed that it wasn't able to garner a larger audience." What the show did garner was lots of ink. As many as 22 NBC affiliates -- covering roughly 5 percent of the TV nation -- refused to air the show in primetime. Objections ranged from: It's not funny to it's blasphemous to hey, God looks too much like Jerry Garcia. (That last one was lodged by the relatives of the late Grateful Dead rocker.) For the TV week ended Sunday, "God
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 30, 2000 -- "Star Trek" fans have a Bones to pick with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. On Sunday's Oscar telecast, actor DeForest Kelley, aka Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of the Starship Enterprise crew, was excluded from the annual montage of Actors Who Died Since The Last Oscars -- even though the man had impeccable credentials, having died himself June 11 at age 79. As Bones himself might say: "He's dead, Jim!" Trekkers, understandably, are not taking the snub lightly. Soon after the Oscars, the alt.startrek Internet newsgroup was buzzing. Asked one post: "Did anyone else notice that the Academy totally snubbed DeForest Kelley and John Colicos [the evil Count Baltar from the "Battlestar Galactica" TV series, who died March 6] during the memoriam section tonight? What the hell?" Turns out that lots of other peop
