A mystery illness? Ok, I'll bite. The doctors still haven't found what they were looking for...

There I was thinking I couldn't beat "Abe Vigoda might be getting better" in span from mention to report of death.

I think the committee would be wise to include Yoko Ono, Barbara Walters and Sheila Mercier on the list and not miss the opportunity to have a hit with them!

Would you be killing her softly?

I feels for ya DI, couldn't resist posting it here when I saw you had just entered a team.

Whoa.

Well well well, quite the timing right there isn't it?

Rose Marie dead. http://variety.com/2017/tv/people-news/rose-marie-dead-dies-dick-van-dyke-show-1202649747/

And I mean she is disabled and a lesbian so we might win some friends at the guardian if she is on the list.Diversity and all that:p

How about considering the two creepiest Bond villains of all time, Mr Kidd and Mr Wint, actors Bruce Glover and Putter Smith are now 85 and 76 respectively.

E- Unlikeable attention whores like Catherine Nevin & Larry Pickering really let me down this year. Yer dyin'? Yeah sure, when's your next meeting for Mythomaniacs Anonymous? Likewise, Thor Hansen has been terminally ill for like a gazilion years now and is still alive for whatever reason. The Regis Philbin pick came from a National Enquire-esque article that I completely bought (not literally, lol). Candy fucking Samples, the old porn pioneer, got her effing Wikipedia site deleted, so I'm glad she didn't die cuz she'd probably not even get a local obit. Oh, and then there's that bastard Baron Waqa, whose size rivals that of the nation he is governing. Let's see, what else do we got here? Oh right, Leo Sharp, the useless drug mule who could have had the decency to let us know that he died BEFORE 2017. My other "hit", Robert Raiford, was obviously not famous enough for the UK journalists, despite reporting JFKs funeral on the radio, so that was a wasted pick. Algimantas Dailide is one of those old Nazi pricks who conveniently are too frail to appear in court, only to live on for another bloody decade. Stephen Hawking was not exactly my best attempt at grabbing some Drop 40 points, bet he'd laugh at me with his robotic voice at my stupidity. Sue Lyon was a wild shot in the dark from the beginning, so not surprised that one didn't pan out. On the other hand, Baby Peggy, Kurt Hamrin, Pat Hitchcock, Dorothy Malone, Princess Christina Magnuson & Dean Stockwell were decent enough selections. Even Ewa Fröling was okey, maybe a bit too soon though. Israel Kristal was a safe bet, thank God for supercentenarians with high mortality rates (and, errm, low scores). Wilford Brimley is one pick I can't ever get mad at even if he lived to be 100, he's my own little Clive Dunn, who played a contemporary of Hume Cronyn & Don Ameche in Cocoon despite being 20+ years younger than 'em. All in all, it was a shite year, but at least their collective carpenting skills became apparent, because they carved a really nice wooden spoon for me. [/rant]

I reckon Stan and the rest of the 95s and over on DL 2017 will be carried over into next year's list.I reckon Doris Day is due to make another appearance on DL 2018 too.

Nae Surrender? A cliche to the last.

^ Aye, Sir Anthony died 40 years ago! She's the British equivalent of a Lady Bird Johnson. The thread is fine. I do think if Eden or (Pan Breed favourite) Mary Wilson were going to appear on the Deathlist, however, they would have done so by now.

If it was the wife of a dead us president you wouldn't complain.Fact is she has outlived almost all her generation so not many people remember her.Still significant.

If I ever post in here, it's just folk I personally liked. I don't give a toss what the rest of the world thought about significance, hence Michael Bond being a bigger loss this year than Tom Petty or Jerry Lewis, imo of course.

Hm, he's 69 at the moment, and his family are showing some concern. I don't think he'll be here in a few years tbh, he's not the guy you'd expect to make old bones.

She is like that turd you every so often that just will not flush,

75 is elderly

Or 10 years.
