Sarah Onyango Obama (1921-2021) That dork is not really my grandson! Age at death: 99 Known health issues: Spent the last two years in various hospitals because of diabetes. Suffered a severe stroke in September 2020. Cause of death: Complications from diabetes and a stroke. Alignment: Good person who cared about education for children. Obviously being an elder she was exploited for an electoral campaign, but that's not really her fault. As that guy was not really her grandson.

Some kudos to you both for managing to pick 5 Bond cast members and not get a hit! As an Inverse Pool that would have been a tough one this last 7 months.

There were some rumors about his death last year that started from a fake twitter account with thousands of followers claiming he had died of COVID. However he's still alive and turning 85 tomorrow.

1912 isn't a very strong year for notable centenarians. While 1908 still has Ruth Apilado and 1910 has that strong duo of Stanislaw Kowalski who looks much younger than he is and Disney animator Ruthie Thompson, 1911 still has four notable centenarians: Marita Quiros (former first lady of Costa Rica, recently got to 110), Renee Simonot (Catherine Deneuve's mother), Eileen Ash (30s and 40s cricketer) and Robert Marchand (cyclist) 1912 only has two after the death of Horne: Philanthropist Jessie Lichauco and blogger Dagny Carlsson. Meanwhile 1913 has three and they're all men: Pulitzer-winning journalist Vance Trimble, Kannada writer G. Venkatasubbiah and Necropolis author Boris Pahor. 1914 and onwards still have over 10 living notable centenarians each year

Branco off life support and "out of danger".

2/1 Deathers 16/1 Zorders

A few old timers I've stumbled onto researching who *appear* to be alive. Elizabeth Benson (born 1926) - a Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses guest star in a long career! Referred to as retired in a 2018 Where Are They Now blog on OFAH guests, but trying to find out more is hurt by her common name - so common another actress big on Twitter has it in fact! Michael Godley (born 1925) - Another actor who did the tour of popular UK TV - Poirot, Morse, A Very British Coup among his credits. Retired within the last decade. Doesn't show up in the BMD but could be a stagename. There was a Michael A Godley who died in 2015 but reverse engineering that provides 3 people who were all born on the south coast a long way from Sheffield! Neville Phillips (born 1927) - Only retired in 2015, sort of a go to actor if you need a vicar or diplomat. Again a common name (and born in South Africa). I'm wary that absence of proof (of death) is not proof of absence (of death) after the Sopel incident, but for the time being I can't find anything on them being no more and would have felt they had CVs worthy of a mention when they did go. (But then, I thought that of David Fisher and too many other names!)

Don't worry, @Alex . Some people don't understand that this thread is supposed to be inclusive, for all of the year's deaths.

"YES,YES,YES,YES, NO!"

Some living suggestions: Donald Pelmear (1924) - Yes Minister, Poirot, Dr Who Morris Perry (1925) - Crown Court, Hound of the Baskervilles Oscar Quitak (1926) - A Very British Coup, Howards End (and shitloads tbh) Lee Montague (1927) - Bergerac June Flewett (1927) - Crown Court (also Clement Freud's widow) Michael Craig (1928) - Triangle, Dr Who (more an old school film actor but done lots of TV and a great actor) Sarah Lawson (1928) - 50s TV regular Gerald Harper (1929) - Adam Adamant Lives (although Wiki now claims a birth of 1931? Either way he counts) Clifford Rose (1929) - Pallisers, Secret Army Damaris Hayman (1929) - Doctor Who Maria Charles (1929) - Corrie, Never the Twain Gary Watson (1930) - Z-cars Una McLean (1930) - Taggart, River City (and Russell Hunter's widow) Trevor Peacock (1931) - Vicar of Dibley June Bland (1931) - Doctor Who (x2), The Doctors, The Newcomers - retired to teach acting James Greene (1931) - Chocky, Moon Stallion (still alive as was in Doctors and others in last few years) Godfrey James (1931) - Emmerdale, Armchair Thriller (retired 20 years ago, *think* still alive) Vivian Pickles (1931) - Uncle Jack, Elizabeth R

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but thought we were overdue a masterlist for British television actors so went through a list of UK TV shows of the 60s–90s earlier and singled out all the actors turning 90+ in 2021.

That's a bit of a can of worms! (Number 35 on the 1993 list, which Cmme members have publicly regretted since...)

Ok but when are you gonna go off being gay?

I've gone off John Cleese recently as he's gone and supported JK Rowling in her transphobic views.

Hurry the fuck up and get MY cunting thread in that list, you lazy wanker. Here's a titbit for it - me, Megs and Greek Phil had a threesome the day he came out of hospital. Feel free to crosspost in their threads.
