It's unconfirmed at this point, but I hear from Salzberg that Herbert Fux, who appeared in a wealth of EuroCult classics from MARK OF THE DEVIL to Jess Franco's JACK THE RIPPER passed away on March 12th.

If anyone overseas can provide a news link, even in German, it would be appreciated.

Sad news indeed.

Here is a German news link. The obit says he died Tuesday, so that'd be March 13.

Thanks, Christian, for the sad confirmation. You're right, it was the 13th... I had my numbers mixed up, as Herr Fux passed away 12 days before his 80th birthday.
