Another one leaves us, though his is a name not familiar to those who are not Stanley Kubrick fanatics. British actor Leon Vitali, who played Lord Bullingdon in Kubrick's 1975 period masterpiece Barry Lyndon and was one of the director's most trusted assistants, has passed away at the age of 74:
"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
