Burt Kwouk RIIP: The Pink Panther

The Deaths in 2016 site lists under May 24:

Burt Kwouk, 85, British actor (The Pink Panther, Last of the Summer Wine, Goldfinger).

 The Pink Panther, although a cartoon character, is an addition to the recent "Lion/Tiger/Cat/Panther... Predator Theme" pattern-cluster.

The highest grossing Pink Panther film came out in 2006 (see below) and was Directed by Shawn Levy, note from his wiki page: 

Shawn Adam Levy (born July 23, 1968

His birthday is an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths" pattern-cluster given that my mother passed away last year on July 23rd.  Note from the series wiki page:

The role of Clouseau was originated by, and is most closely associated with, Peter Sellers. Most of the films were directed and co-written by Blake Edwards, with theme music composed by Henry Mancini.

Note from the wiki pages of those mentioned in the excerpt:

• Peter Sellers ( 8 September 1925 – 24 July 1980) 
• Blake Edwards ( July 26, 1922 – December 15, 2010)
• Enrico Nicola "Henry" Mancini (April 16, 1924 – June 14, 1994)

So we now have a "July 23 (x2), 24, __, 26/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  This is a typical pattern-cluster designed as a means of prompting us to bridge the gap by venturing to the missing dates wiki page where there are three long lists of notable Events, Births and Deaths.  We then generally limit our search by investigating years having 3 identical numbers at the end, and selecting at least one that stands out.  So this I will leave for you-- homework.  

Note this next excerpt from the series wiki page:

Pink Panther character. This character, designed by Hawley Pratt and Friz Freleng,
 Isadore "Friz" Freleng (August 21, 1906^[2] – May 26, 1995)
