Shortest wait: 1998 (Helen Wills, died 1/1/1998) Longest wait: 1991 (NO DEATHS)

Dunno if I've ever mentioned it on here, but my laptop, purchased in the sales after the sales in 2015 and on which I'll be running the DDP from, has been named "Sadhana" as a little tribute to the Bollywood icon.

I know. I don't think we'll see Stan or George going to jail any time soon!

Grim for 1st and 2nd place in the DDP, most likely.

...And that began 2016's celebrity onslaught.

thank you so much that's so sweet I am new here and I don't understand everything about the forum ! thank you a lot sweety and have a good day

Talking of Natalie Wood, is her husband/murderer Robert Wagner suffering any health issues at the moment?

hey Sean, don't you know that any allegation is a fact? and don't you know that everyone nowadays is guilty until proven otherwise? Seriously, as I scroll down Twitter feed, Natalie Wood becomes younger and younger at the time of the "incident": "Are we really honoring Kirk Douglas who raped Natalie Wood when she was 16?" "Is Hollywood really forgetting the fact that Kirk Doulgas raped 15 year-old Natalie Wood, like omigash really?" "OH HELL NAW WE'RE NOT HONORING NO KIRK DOUGLAS WHO RAPED POOR NATALIE WOOD, WHO WAS 13 YEAR OLD!!!"

thanks a lot that's really kind of youuuuu

Kirk Douglas. . . . he has been holding on for years now....let go mate!!

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

Yeh I'm surprised you have heard of him, as he does not play ice hockey.

Death from AIDS-related complications meant that Ricky Wilson would never be 52, dying today in 1985 aged 32.

Jack Daniel got wasted on this day 106 years ago, aged 62.

Not only did he present the evening news when Alastair Burnet let anyone get a word in, Sandy Gall was also a frontline war correspondent for 50 years, covering everything from Vietnam to Iraq, and was one of the few Western journalists at various warzones like the Six Day war, for example. As a roving reporter earlier in his life, he covered the Mau Mau Rising (ie helped expose the British atrocities, and Suez, among many others. He also got arrested in Uganda for trying to uncover Idi Amin's crimes, is one of the foremost living authorities on Afghanistan (saying he respects the countries ability to repel any invasion), and made a number of interesting documentaries, not only on his exploits and charity work but also figures like the guy from Born Free. He also did a lot of charity work to raise money for people disabled in Afghanistan by bombs (all of them, be they Russian, Taliban or Western sent...), is a extensive whisky drinking Scot, and claims that live TV is actually scarier than facing live bullets on the ground. Also you know what he did after escaping a secret police camp in Uganda, after 3 days of being threatened with death? Reported on it immediately to the outside world, while still in Uganda. Dude's about as amazing as a war correspondent can be. That people on here don't know about him is their own fault and not his.

Heeeeeeeres jonnnngy

Indeed. Could be a contender for DDT's Scrabble Deficit thread.

Maybe it is God who is reluctant to meet him.

HELLO?! Alexander Graham Bell was put on hold 95 years ago, age 75.

The things you see on the way home from work...

Last night I dreamt that Cat O'Falk had returned to the forums. Hope this dream becomes true...

How's it going Diane, any more radio interviews lined up?

Is there really that much homosexual Hollywood gossip?!
