I only wished death on two people on the Deathlist, and one of them - Ian Brady - is already dead, the other is Hosni Mubarak. Some of my long time favorites are on the Deathlist, some of them are gone now, and I wish the others would live as long and pain-free as possible. I'm also here for this site's wonderful and sarcastic take on a fate that awaits all of us. As for Kirk (and Olivia) I think it's amazing how those two Hollywood legends from the Golden era are not only with us, but are still enjoying life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5B7y8NUSqM

I came here merely for the interest of death in general and not to wish death on anyone.

No sound for Tom Dowd on this day 15 years ago, aged 77.

Doesn't seem Fabray was actually a silent film survivor? Per an earlier post in the thread. Worth noting she is a vaudeville survivor, however.

to Nanette Fabray 97 today!

Glad Hillary isnt on the DL committee.

King Alfred of the Anglo-Saxons wasn't feeling so Great on this day in 899, aged 50.

One for Sean's (very long) political frailty longlist rather than jumping right into the starting line ups, but whilst she still looks and sounds amazingly good for her age, Betty Boothroyd apparently admitted earlier in the year to having had some "health setbacks" and has been getting "treated for cardiac ailments".

"We have his DNA, his body, his mum has identified the corpse, and so has his local priest." "I am his successor, I am not announcing his death." "But you succeeded him!" "Don't care. Not announcing it." "Why?" "Simple. I'm not letting those infidels get that far ahead of me in the Derby Dead Pool, for shame!"

Hattie McDaniel was blown away by the wind on this day 65 years ago, aged 57.

This is stupid! The man is 93 for God's sake! I volunteered at a nursing home and I can tell you that the behavior of 93 year old women there is much, much worse. He has a form of Parkinson's and it affects cognitive and mental capacities as well, and his guards warned the actress not to stand next to him, so they knew he is not in control of what he is doing anymore.Why are we even discussing this?!

As always - too random to call but... I've got company supporting Nobby Stiles

I have no idea, I'm too busy sipping rum at 8 AM. Cheers!

I'm hearing that Liverpool have sacked their manager. He will be returning to Germany with his family on Saturday. Yes, the Klopps go back this weekend..

Yep, that was fun! Edit: I don't know, the last time, we were at your town, this time we were in mine. Next time maybe neutral ground?

As if I'd do that... I think I made the comment in her thread instead!

All the first post was missing was a "or maybe Zsa Zsa really is immortal?" comment!

Grave Danger was the sole picker of Fats Domino. Gains 10 additional points for a pair of 8s. Leaderboard updated.

Agree. She need to be included in the Deathlist 2018.

Well I finally took a look at the entire benefit concert to see what you guys are talking about: OK, Let me tell you that this is George HW Bush at his most weak physically, he was at times unable to even clap to what the other presidents were saying. And there is this particular moment (first picture) that, had it been any other individual that night, would have been considered an insult to the flag. But mentally, he was still as sharp as ever, he was aware of everything, especially to the five (!) standing ovations he received . There was one particular cute moment where the MC of the ceremony made an allusion to his library, and he raised his hand as to say "I'm the Bush he's talking about". It's also nice to see Clinton wheeling old Poppy Bush away. It was also great that he spoke on his behalf. Just shows how much they have become good friends and almost like father and son over the years. His sock game is also as strong as ever! PS: One thing you guys forgot to mention: mother Barbara was using an oxygen tank for the first time, and it's never a good sign. She just HAS to be on next year's Deathlist.

This article was written two weeks ago. I don’t know how reliable this source is though. https://www.theonion.com/marvel-hints-at-upcoming-death-of-stan-lee-1819580377

Drol that is shite. Sorry to hear that.

Actually I take it back. While the tone sounded a lot like Bobby Muggs, after consideration, Bobby was a lot funnier.
