This is very sad news. I loved helping, working with and just chatting with Ken and admired hugely his energy and dedication towards a good cause. His Shakespeare on Screen filmography was a stupendous undertaking, while the Shakespeare on Film Newsletter was always an inspiration, especially at a time when the words Shakespeare and Film were considered to be alien to one another by too many scholars. And he published my first scholarly article too.
