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.

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.

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

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

As I was unaware that Johnny Gilbert wasn’t born in 1924 I will change my vote to Eva Marie Saint. I would not have switched my vote otherwise.

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.

Could you give a XXXX now?

That's an irritating one since it means the exact opposite of what the speaker is trying to convey.
