Well, damn.

Michael Lonsdale, actor who played Bond villain in ‘Moonraker,’ dies at 87

Ron Cobb, Designer of the ‘Alien’ Ship and the ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean, Dies at 83

Ron Cobb’s design work was *fantastic.* He designed the world of “Conan the Barbarian,” including the swords. He did a first pass at the “Back To The Future” LeLorean. He designed the Nostromo and the Narcissus and the Dark Star and the Marsliner and the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” Flying Wing and the Gunstar and the Starcar and the Whispercraft and the laser and spaceplane in “Real Genius,” all with diagrams that would have fit well at an aerospace company.
