George Formby wasnt that old (56 I believe)

When George died, the turn-out for his funeral in Warrington in 1961 equalled that for Rudolph Valentino's in 1926 New York.

Both stars attracted more than 100,000 mourners.

I've just learned that a woman who appeared as an extra on The Fast Show at the age of 14 has died. The woman in question was called Amy Winehouse.

I've never heard of her either - she featured in the 'Midsummer Night's Dream' Competitive Dad skit.
