Even so wakes General Clive Wynne-Candy
Stuart Freeborn, R.I.P.
I had no idea the same person who brought Roger Livesey through forty years in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1942) had designed Yoda. Or that when I was comparing myself to Guinness' Fagin, this was the man who'd created his nose. Or that he was part of both Dr. Strangelove (1964) and The Great Muppet Caper (1981). Or that he was still alive or that he'd died.
Dammit.

Ninety-eight is a perfectly reasonable age to die at! This is just the sort of thing I like to know about someone when they're alive.
