“I’m your number one fan. There’s nothing to worry about. You’re going to be just fine. I will take good care of you. I’m your number one fan.”

Directed by Rob Reiner (This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride) and written by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All The President’s Men), 1990’s Misery is based on the Stephen King’s 1987 novel of the same name. King, the world’s foremost writer of horror fiction, has had something of a resurgence in popularity lately, with this year’s theatrical releases of The Dark Tower and It, not to mention Netflix’s excellent adaptations of Gerald’s Game and 1922.

As 2014 comes to a close, we take a moment at Geeks Of Doom to remember all the fallen entertainment figures in film and television who left us this year. This year, we gave a farewell to a large array of heavyweights, cult heroes, pioneering figures, and sentimental favorites who were among those who have passed on in a physical sense, but leaving the memories, the ones that they made in the past and the ones each of their fans have in regards to them.

Actress Lauren Bacall, one of the few remaining stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, has died at the age of 89. According to reports Bacall suffered a massive stroke at her home this morning, resulting in her passing.

Bacall appeared in many memorable roles over her lengthy career, including To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, How to Marry a Millionaire, Key Largo, Written on the Wind, Designing Woman, Murder on the Orient Express, The Shootist, Misery, My Fellow Americans, Dogville, Howl’s Moving Castle, Manderlay, and The Mirror Has Two Faces, which scored her an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win. She was presented with an honorary Oscar in 2010 “In recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures.”
