Tyrus Wong, the artist whose works inspired the Disney film Bambi, has died aged 106. A Chinese immigrant, Mr Wong's vibrant paintings captured Walt Disney's eye and became the basis of the film's distinct style. In a statement, the Walt Disney Family Museum said "his influence on the artistic composition of the animated feature Bambi cannot be overstated." He died at home surrounded by his family. Mr Wong emigrated to the United States from China as a child, with his father - leaving behind his mother and a sister he would never see again. After studying as an artist, he began working with Disney in 1938 as an "inbetweener", drawing hundreds of pictures between poses to create the illusion of motion. Looked and felt like a forest When the film studio began pre-production on Bambi, "he went home and painted several pictures of a deer in a forest", the Disney museum said. "Walt Disney saw that Tyrus was able to produce exquisite artwork that did not necessarily look like the forest - but rather, felt like the forest. Walt's vision for Bambi and use of Tyrus' work still influences films today," it said.
Tyrus Wong only worked at Disney for three years, moving to Warner Brothers as a concept artist, designing greeting cards for Hallmark on the side. After retiring, he turned to creating hundreds of elaborate bamboo kites, received many awards in recognition of his work, and became the subject of a documentary about his life. Writing about his death, the documentary's director said "with his passing, we have lost a brilliant artist, motion picture and animation legend, Chinese American pioneer, and hero. "Tyrus always faced adversity with dignity, courage, and art... he awed us with his talent, charmed us with his boyish humour, and moved us with his humility, generosity, resilience, and big heart."

We also lost McLean Stevenson in 1996. A couple of others we lost in 2016 that I don't think were noted were character actor Don Calfa and F.M. radio personality Bob Coburn. RIP one and all.

And let's not forget that he also played "Father Francis Mulcahy" for a full season and a third of a second on "AfterMASH" along with Harry Morgan's "Potter" and Jamie Farr's "Klinger".

The former French Olympic skiing champion and entrepreneur Jean Vuarnet has died at the age of 83, his family has announced.
Vuarnet, who gave his name to a world-famous brand of sunglasses, won gold in the downhill event in the 1960 Winter Olympics in California.
He is credited with inventing an aerodynamic crouch for downhill skiing known as the "egg".
Vuarnet was also the first person to win the event using metal skis.
His aerodynamic ski position has been copied and perfected by generations of skiers, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.
At that competition in California, Vuarnet also wore a new type of anti-glare sunglasses provided for the French team.
Following his win, he agreed a deal with the manufacturer of the glasses permitting them to use his name.
Vuarnet also won bronze in the downhill event in the 1958 World Championships.
He went on to help develop the Avoriaz ski resort, which opened in 1964 as part of the famed Portes du Soleil ski area that links 12 French and Swiss resorts in the Alps.
Vuarnet suffered a personal tragedy in 1995 when his wife and son were involved in ritual killings along with dozens of members of the Order of the Solar Temple cult.
