Jerome Hellman, who won a 1970 Oscar as a producer of 'Best Film' winner Midnight Cowboy, has died. He was 92. Hellman's repertoire was selective, as he only produced seven films total. However, aside from Midnight Cowboy, they also included the Day of the Locust and The Mosquito Coast. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/jerome-hellman-dead-midnight-cowboy-1234984197/

French WIM Andreea Bollengier dead at 46: http://www.echecs.asso.fr/Actu.aspx?Ref=13387 Also, currently the only living International Honorary Master for chess composition is Hannu Harkola (b. 1944) and the only living Honorary Grandmaster is Jonathan Penrose (1933-2021). Yuri Averbakh (b. 1922) is both the earliest grandmaster (1952) and the oldest. Other 1950s grandmasters include Aleksandar Matanovic (b. 1930), Borislav Ivkov (1933-2022), Oscar Panno (b. 1935), Boris Spassky (b. 1937) all in 1955 and Friðrik Ólafsson (b. 1935) in 1958. Matanovic still looks great (video from his 90th birthday celebrations), couldn't find new pictures of Ivkov but apparently he still writes books and articles and Panno is still in good health, too. Couldn't find new pictures of Olafsson, but he released a book a while ago. However Spassky, probably the most notable out of the people I've listed suffered strokes in 2006 and 2010, reported to be gravely ill in 2010 after his second stroke. Doesn't look great but I wouldn't be suprised if he'd still be alive in 10 years.

I think that younger people do care but there are general problems within our society. People ignore rules or think they can break them with no consequences. People are generally unaware, do not follow or comprehend what is going on beyond their own small world. People consider themselves to be indestructible, I did when I was young, fit and in good health. Asymptomatic people who have not tested, do not appreciate the risk that they pose. Our leaders do not set a good example or adequately define the framework in which we should operate. The world is a different place now, everybody's attitude needs to change. The UK immigration figures release at the start of last week showed how the isolation rules had just been ignored with non nationals entering unrestricted, compare this to Australia. The fact is that people are going to be vulnerable and people will still die, like flu. A global change is needed and we have to appreciate that religion, bravado or an antivax opinion will not save anybody from the virus, because it does not differentiate. The vaccine program is working and without it countries will be in a far worse state.

That's an interesting trivia question. Historically, the record probably goes to Alyce Fisher, daughter of the longest-married couple in history: https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/Herbert_Fisher,_Sr. (Karam and Kartari Chand might actually have had wrong dates, they are not Guinness Book confirmed.) Alyce Fisher died at 85, and was survived by both parents.

Is this posted in the right thread? :-)
