Actor Donald Sutherland dies aged 88

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9rrvdq3g9zo

His son, Keifer, announced his father's death in a statement.

"With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film," he said. "Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived."

Shannen Doherty died on the thirteenth, so there's a 5-point bonus for Bluebottle, Galaxy Babe and myself (Rule 6).

Bluebottle extends his lead at the top of the scoreboard. I'm finally off the mark.
