Kevyn Major Howard, known for his role as Rafterman in “Full Metal Jacket,” has passed away at age 69.

Teri Garr, known for her starring roles in Young Frankenstein and Tootsie, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. She was 79 years-old.

Three-time Oscar winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement to star in his son’s feature film directorial debut, “Anemone”.
