Patrick McGoohan
January 13, 2009
The Prisoner star Patrick McGoohan, who has died
aged 80, was one of the leading British television
stars of the 1950s and 1960s. He was the star,
co-writer and sometimes director of one of British
television's most original and challenging series
of the 1960s, The Prisoner. In it, he played
Number Six, a mysterious, resigned former secret
agent who is always trying to escape from the
Village, an apparently congenial community which
is in fact a virtual prison for people who know too
much.
McGoohan appeared in many Hollywood films
including "Silver Streak", "Braveheart" and "A Time
to Kill" and even reprising his most famous role as
Number 6 in and episode of TV's The Simpsons.
He was offered prestigious roles in both Harry
Potter, as Dumbledore, and the Lord of the Rings
trilogy, as Gandalf, but was forced to turn them
down because of ill health.

Cheryl Holdridge

Cheryl Holdridge, a popular Mouseketeer
during the original run of 'The Mickey
Mouse Club,' has died at age 64 after a
two-year battle with lung cancer.
Holdridge died Tuesday at her Santa
Monica home, Doreen Tracey, another
former Mouseketeer, told the Los Angeles

Born Cheryl Lynn Phelps on June 20,
1944, in New Orleans, Holdridge moved to

a Mouseketeer in 1956 at the start of the
second season of "The Mickey Mouse

had this angelic look and a great smile;
she's known for her smile," Tracey said.
"We used to try to keep her quiet when
she started singing because she sang
off-key."
