Centenarian actress Mary Ward no longer living: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9801497/Veteran-actress-Prisoner-star-Mary-Ward-dies-peacefully-aged-106.html

Yes, I was tempted to cross-post in the Carry On thread.

Arturo Armando Molina (wiki), President of El Salvador (1972–1977), dead at 93.

William F Nolan seems to have died back on 15th July according to this: http://file770.com/william-f-nolan-1928-2021/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634368/ I'm going to guess he's a DDP pick? Edit: Nope, he's not and doesn't ever appear to have been a pick! George Clayton Johnson died in 2015.

Marsha Hunt (b. 1917) now the oldest living actor/actress?

Emilio Mario Osmeña dead aged 82: https://www.sunstar.com.ph/ampArticle/1901265 Philippine politician, Governor of Cebu 1988-1992. He was the running mate of Fidel Ramos (b. 1928) in the 1992 elections but lost a vice presidential race to the infamous Joseph Estrada (b. 1937). He ran for president in 1998 but lost, again to Estrada. Also the grandson of Sergio Osmeña, Philippines President 1944-1946. The living Presidential candidates of the Philippines in 1992 are Ramos and Imelda Marcos. Living VP candidates are Danding Cojuangco's (1935-2020) Estrada and Miriam Santiago's (1945-2016) Ramon Magsaysay Jr. (b. 1938)

Kansas founding member, vocalist & violinist Robby Steinhardt has died aged 71.

He was indeed a pilot from 617 Squadron, but only began to fly missions with them over a year after the Dambusters raid.

Not sure how Lawrence "Benny" Goodman fits in here, but "Dambusters" is all over his Wiki. I'm guessing because he was in 617 Squadron. Anyway, he's being reported dead: https://www.key.aero/article/dambuster-lawrence-benny-goodman-dies

Mary Ward is a hit for @ThereWillBeDeaths7, @Book, @Dying Probably, @Death Impends, @YorkshireBanker, @The Old Crem, @Great Uncle Bulgaria and @Salmon Mousse. Scoreboard updated. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Updated for the death of Steinhardt.

The wording on his Wiki page doesn't make it clear but I believe I'm correct in saying he was the last surviving pilot from the operation. Johnny Johnson survives and he was an air gunner. News to me that there were any surviving pilots though.

Cross-posting Lawrence Goodman's death report here - reportedly the last surviving pilot of 617 Squadron (but I'm scared because of the whole Tuskegee survivors/Spanish Civil War threads!). According to this, he died 18th July: https://dambustersblog.com/2021/07/18/sqn-ldr-benny-goodman/

First thought was "Christ David Jason's aged"

James Garner, American Hollywood actor known for his acting skills in films and television, died of a heart attack on this date in 2014. He was 86 years old. Garner, who built a six-decade career playing ruggedly charming, good-natured anti-heroes and received the highest honor of the Screen Actors Guild in 2004, was found dead at his Los Angeles home. The Rockford Files star has starred in more than fifty films, including "The Americanization of Emily", "Move Over, Darling", "The Great Escape", "36 Hours", "Grand Prix", "Duel at Diablo", "Marlowe", "They Only Kill Their Masters", "Space Cowboys" and "The Notebook". The three-time Golden Globe winner had reportedly underwent a quintuple bypass heart surgery in 1988 and suffered a minor stroke in 2008.

Alan Dean Foster likes to update his blog exactly on the 1st of each month. For July, he updated that he went back into the gym again. A little weak because of chemo, but he "refuses to concede his age": https://www.alandeanfoster.com/version2.0/frameset.htm

Scottish journalist Ally McLaws had problems with his treatment which had been working well so far. They now have to set him up on a different treatment. https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/19450730.ally-mclaws---living-cancer-pandemic-feared-happened-now-last-line-defense/

And again. Incredible signal now.

I thought her death would be unnoted in France or barely obitable but as the oldest actress ever and Catherine Deneuve's mother she has quite a good coverage

I mean I know we're all eager to get back to sex and stuff, but those no need to go straight to suction play.

Imagine defending a nonce, choosing instead to be part of a campaign of hatred against a couple who don’t want to be part of outdated royal norms. Bin the royals after the Queen dies.
