I liked him in Justified.

I didn't realize he was 75. He looked younger. And I do recognize him from so many things.

Jill Messick, film producer, studio executive, and former manager of Rose McGowan, died in Los Angeles on Wednesday of an apparent suicide, her family announced in a statement. She was 50.

McGowan served as manager for McGowan in 1997, the same year that McGowan says she was raped by Harvey Weinstein at the Sundance Film Festival. She was a production executive at Miramax, which was run by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, from 1997 to 2003.

After McGowan went public with her sexual assault claims against Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced mogul brought Messick’s name into the legal affair, with Weinstein’s attorney Ben Brafman releasing an email from Messick to show her alleged defense of his client.

Messick’s family claimed in a statement that Messick’s battle with depression led to her suicide, and pointed to the McGowan-Weinstein ordeal.

“Over the past few months, many women have come out with allegations against Harvey Weinstein, including Rose McGowan, who has repeatedly spoken with the press, striking out against not only her alleged attacker, but a great many others,” reads the family’s statement, in part. “One of them was Jill, who chose to remain silent in the face of Rose’s slanderous statements against her for fear of undermining the many individuals who came forward in truth.”

RIP to John Gavin.....little known trivia....he was actually signed to play James Bond in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.....but then the producers were able to get Connery back, so they had to buy out his contract.

RIP to Reg Cathey.....he was one of the few good things in Fant4tic.
