Bozo The Clown star Larry Harmon has died at the age of 83. Harmon, who first portrayed the beloved children's character in the 1950s, suffered heart failure and passed away at his Los Angeles home on Thursday, according to his publicist Jerry Digney. Harmon, real name Lawrence Weiss, became famed as Bozo the Clown after buying the licensing rights to the franchise from creator Alan W. Livingston and executives at Capitol Records in 1956. His entrepreneurship led to the creation of a series of cartoons, which he voiced, and the comic book character was later portrayed by other actors on local TV stations across the U.S. Paying tribute to the star, his wife of 29 years, Susan Harmon, says, "(He was) the love of my life. "He was the most optimistic man I ever met. He always saw a bright side; he always had something good to say about everybody." Harmon is also survived by his son Jeff Harmon, and daughters Lori Harmon, Marci Breth-Carabet and Leslie Breth.

METROPOLIS LOST FOOTAGE FOUND Lost footage from cult sci-fi film Metropolis has been discovered in Argentina. The director's cut of Fritz Lang's 1927 classic, featuring an extra 30 minutes, was believed to have vanished forever after it was cut by Paramount bosses because of bad reviews. However, the curator of the Buenos Aires Film Museum discovered a copy of the movie in his archives - and a projectionist noticed it was longer than all other versions of the iconic film.
Film restorer Martin Koerber, who is one of the few people to see the lost footage, says, "No matter how bad the condition of the material may be, the original intention of the film, including all of its sub-plots, is now once again tangible for the normal viewer. The rhythm of the film has been restored."News July 5, News July 5, News July 5, News July 5
