Designer1 Posted December 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2020 Also just noticed that Pat Patterson (WWE) had died. Very interesting guy (the first ever openly gay wrestler) and I was only listening to the SCSA Podcast episode with him on last week. Came across as a genuinely nice bloke.

Shomin Geki Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Daria Nicolodi, 70. A bit of a niche one here, but I trust among the classy aesthetes of Villa Talk her name won't be entirely unrecognised. Former partner of Italian horror maestro Dario Argento, co-writer of Suspiria, and mother of metoo heel-turner Asia Argento. It was noted, with some accuracy, that Nicolodi was killed off in an increasingly grisly and elaborate fashion in Inferno, Phenomena, Opera etc. But she's still immortalised amidst dazzling colour and architecture in Argento's finest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relation, but he gave me a discount for having the same name. Also Tony, who runs my local newsagent/Post Office knew him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what I meant was the news came as a shock, but on reflection it shouldn’t have been.
