It’s easy to forget the age of the actors who played the iconic roles of your childhood, you always remember them in period.

Aside from Shaft (all 5 films and the TV series) nothing else says 70s cool like Richard Roundtree as a stuntman outrunning tectonic disaster on his motorbike in 1974's Earthquake.

The opening scene to Shaft, he’s walking through a seedy New York, stops to talk to a blind book seller, then moves on- such a great start to a film.

RIP

I had to get the big black wig out of retirement…. Then wondered how people coped with that much weight on their necks especially after it’s been raining!!!!
