Superb screen presence - will probably be remembered best as Mr Big in Live and Let Die and Dennis Parker of the Nostromo, but excellent in so many other roles.

Obviously Sigourney Weaver still around, as is Veronica Cartwright (Lambert) and Tom Skerritt (Dallas). The wonders of Wikipedia inform me that Bolaji Badejo, the actor inside the xenomorph suit, died in 1992.

Mr Big/Dr Kananga and Baron Samedi (in particular conjunction with the voodoo scenes) are the only Bond Villains I found genuinely scary as a kid.
Fabulous alongside an equally impressive Richard Pryor in the underrated 'Blue Collar.'

My first cat was named after his character in Alien.

The ones who've died have died in the same order as the ship crew in the film so Tom Skerritt's a lucky guy and Veronica Cartwright is on borrowed time. Presumably Weaver's fine for ages yet.
Kane (Hurt) Brett (Stanton) Ash (Holm) Parker (Kotto)
(it's a slow day at work 😎)

What's even stranger:
John Hurt died of a stomach ulcer;
Stanton died when he was attacked by a stranger as he looked for his cat;
Holm had his head chopped off by a paranoid fan who thought he was a robot 😮

Kane (Hurt) Brett (Stanton) Ash (Holm) Parker (Kotto) (it's a slow day at work 😎) Not going to mention Helen Horton who voiced 'Mother'? She died back in 2007. Trivia time, she was Lily James' Nan.

She was friends with my mate's mum who was an actress back in the day. Starred as extras in a film together in their early days.
