We are saddened to report the passing of Maurice Jarre and Andy Hallett.
Maurice Jarre was a French film composer who won 3 Oscars for Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, and A Passage to India, and wrote the music for over 150 films, and was considered one of the pioneers of film scoring. He passed away on Sunday of cancer at the age of 84.
Andy Hallett was best known for his role of Lorne/The Host, a horned green demon owner of the karaoke bar on the TV show Angel, and also sang on the Angel soundtrack. He passed on Monday of heart failure at the age of 33.
What an awful shame about Andy Hallett. Lorne was a brilliant character, and Hallett brought a great charm an depth to the role.
Wow. I’m sorry to hear about Andy Hallett. 33 is way too young. And he was a very talented man.
That’s a shame. He was my favorite character on the show.
