‘Spartacus’ Star Andy Whitfield Dies At Age 39

Posted: 11 Sep 2011 09:50 PM PDT



Sad news tonight out of the TV world as Andy Whitfield, the former star of the hit Starz series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, has died after a battle with cancer. The actor died on September 11, 2011, of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Sydney, Australia, after an 18-month fight. He was 39.

While many may not have known his name going into the show, his turn as the show's lead was so well received that instead of recasting the character right away, the show halted their production for the second season while he fought his illness. In the meantime, they worked on a prequel while he was in treatment in hopes of his return to the series. Eventually, with Whitfield's blessing after his cancer returned, the role was recast with Australian actor Liam McIntyre taking over the lead [...]

Cliff Robertson

Cliff Robertson, best known to modern audiences for playing Peter Parker's beloved Uncle Ben in the first three Spider-Man films and a film and television acting career that spanned more than six decades, died on Saturday of natural causes at New York's Stony Brook University Medical Center one day after celebrating his 88th birthday.

Throughout his long and storied acting career Robertson has played a variety of authority figures and real-life influential personalities. He's played astronaut Buzz Aldrin, automobile pioneer Henry Ford, and 19th century outlaw Cole Younger. Most notably Robertson played John F. Kennedy in the 1963 film PT 109, which documented the future President's heroic leadership as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Twenty years later, Robertson portrayed Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner in Star 80, the Bob Fosse-directed film about the shocking murder of Playboy playmate Dorothy Stratten. He played a devoutly religious U.S. President squaring off against Kurt Russell's iconic badass antihero Snake Plissken in John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. and in 1976 played the lead role in Brian DePalma's psychological thriller Obsession [...]

Paul McCartney The Love We Make

In the month following the 9/11 attacks Paul McCartney organized the Concert For New York City, an all-star benefit held at NYC's Madison Square Garden. Filmmakers Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan filmed the former Beatle making preparations, meeting with fellow musicians, and walking through the streets of New York City days after the attack. Nothing was done with the footage until now.

The Love We Make is a 94-minute documentary created from the footage shot 10 years ago and will make its debut tonight at 10:55PM ET/PT on Showtime. See below for subsequent air dates and times.

The Concert For New York City was recorded live on October 20, 2001 and was released to DVD. Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Kid Rock, Bill Joel, and The Who are among the many who performed at the charity concert to benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund, an organization whose mission is to fight poverty in New York City which set up a special 9/11 fund immediately after the attacks. The 6-hour The Concert For New York City will air in its entirety on VH1 on today, Sunday, September 11, from 4PM to 10PM EST. You can also watch it live tonight on the Robin Hood Relief Fund's Facebook page [...]
