Another big one. Actress and fashion model Cicely Tyson (wiki) dead at 96. Also at one-time married to Miles Davis. Didn’t know this until now! Edit: A pick for 8 DDP teams. QO via Yahoo! UK

Cicely Tyson and Cloris Leachman were some of the youngest-looking nonagenarians around, at least until some time ago. I was convinced Tyson would make it to 100 easily.

Seen as grim is being so fucking polite about this. A quick glance on the front page would show you Gerry Marsden on the 3 January is the most recent hit to get an obit and the team are clearly working through the backlog - which appears to have been published last weekend. Walter Bernstein being the most recent hit to be tallied on the deaths page died on the who's dead died on the 23 January - last Saturday? It couldn't be that the committee are working on the site when they happen to have no work and family commitments, such as perhaps a Saturday or Sunday, could it?

Cloris died on 27 Jan - no need to be in such a hurry - death is a permanent state after all.

Massive loss. She was a groundbreaking actress.First really big black Holywood star I think.This should get rolling news coverage !

Eddie Connachan being reported as having died last night: Helped Dunfermline under Jock Stein to win the 1961 Scottish Cup Final and two appearances as goalkeeper for Scotland.

Cicely Tyson, a legendary actress and part of the Golden Age of Hollywood, has died. She was 96. Her death must have been sudden. She was just on the CBC radio show 'Q' earlier this week, albeit likely a taped interview. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/cicely-tyson-dead-dies-1234895188/

Wolpert's one of the names I recall contributing the DDP bio for years back. Still like it.

My newspaper had an interview with A.B. Yehoshua, the last remaining great Israeli writer of his generation after Amos Oz and Aharon Appelfeld died (i'm just quoting the article, i'm not very much into the Israeli literal landscape..), and it said he's tired because his cancer has returned.

Oh, no, flowers were growing on his body as a side effect! The vaccine literally turned him into a vegetable!

John Bai Ningxian (wiki), retired Auxiliary Bishop of Sanyuan, who tuned 100 a few days ago.

You do realise that nobody cares/is impressed when you declare your hits due to the fact your "list" is 300 names long? RIP to her, I only know her for being Annalise's mum in HTGAWM but undoubtedly a great actress.

#4 for me

Friday 1122 Running time of Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands (longest track in the Dylan canon until he released Murder Most Foul last year)

Re Lewis Wolpert above, seems to have been a COVID death:

Lewis Wolpert being reported as another faller from the above list: A Crumble pick for the DDP 2021.

Give Ulitzer the internet and a few hours and he could find Jimmy Hoffa for you!

Not that I’m saying that this is definite proof that the theory of an earlier birth is wrong, but it would be difficult to account for why the Texas Birth Index would be wrong.

Stan Kowalski gets the COVID vaccine.

She's the one who always fronts the BBC Glastonbury coverage. She sits there smirking with a "Look how cool I am" air, constantly name-dropping about how she was chatting to [insert name of any notable music artiste here, she's on intimate terms with everybody] on the way to the bogs. When it's so hard to get a ticket for Glasto, it rankles a bit when you know she's getting paid and even brings her kids along, all on licencepayers money. (Kids probably grown up now, but still). Just the sight of her boils my piss.

Most of us thought that the Committee would include Larry King, but we were wrong. Whatever, points for 14:22, Annami, Book, Buffalo Phil, CaptainChorizo, chilean way, gcreptile, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, Prophet, RoverAndOut, Steve, The Daredevil, The Old Crem, theoldlady, The Quim Reaper, ThereWillBeDeaths7, TomTomTelekom, Vaagheid and WEP. If I had missed a hit between Michael McKevitt and Larry King, please tell me.
