Didn't voice Frieza in Dragon Ball Z, but rather in some of the later Dragon Ball series. In DBZ it was actually a woman... Linda Young (wiki). As far as I'm aware, all of the voice cast of the main English dub of DBZ are quite incredibly still with us, but a lot of the original Japanese voices are dead. Used to love DBZ when I was a kid. Went round to my neighbours house every day after school to watch it because we only had terrestrial TV in my house until I was 12!

Christopher Ayres, English voice of Frieza in Dragon Ball Z, has died. He was 56. https://en.memesrandom.com/chris-ayres-dead/

I’ll just pop Leslie Bricusse in here if that’s ok with everyone. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58970326 If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages Maybe take an animal degree I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea I would converse in polar bear and python And I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people ask me, "Can you speak rhinoceros?" I'd say, "Of courseros, can't you?" If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could talk to me If I consulted with quadrupeds Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions What a lovely place the world would be If I spoke slang to orangutans The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see Discussing Eastern art and dramas, with intellectual llamas That's a big step forward you'll agree I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle And my Pekingese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus I'd say, "Why notamus" and I would If I could parlay with pachyderms It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals Grunts, and squeaks, and squawks with the animals And they could talk to him Let me hear 'em talk I'd study every creature's language So I could speak to all of them on site If friends said, "Can he talk in crab or maybe pelican?" You'd say, "Like hell he can" and you'd be right And if you just stop and think of it, ain't no doubt of it I'm gonna win a place in history If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals And they could squeak, and squawk, and speak, and talk to me

Hmmmm Maybe he's become a fitness freak all of a sudden but doesn't strike me as the type

The amount of page numbers finally reached the Queen's age

https://www.is.fi/taloussanomat/art-2000008345826.html Meat company owner Veijo Votkin dead aged 73 from a long illness. He was the owner of Lihatukku Veijo Votkin Oy (the company also used an english name, "Chef Wotkins") that he founded in 1978. Used to sell alligator meat (and once sold cobra meat) until the EU put an end to that. He was on trial in 2019 for buying one hundred kilos of bear meat from Estonia.

I predict Paul Hogan, Frank Langella, Julie Andrews, John Cleese, Harvey Keitel, and Bob Newhart will go in 2022. I hope Feinstein, Waters, and Pelosi go too. It’s time to purge Congress.

American photographer David Finn dead at 100 years: https://www.provokemedia.com/latest/article/industry-pioneer-david-finn-passes-away-at-100

Still has a lot of memories from the two war, able to make joke about tiboinshape beauty (as she’s blind she asks him if he is beautiful, translation for non french speaker), still completely lucid and has some energy, the only thing that has changed is her voice which seems frail but besides it’s impressive ! Looks better than Kane now, I don’t remember if we had a video such as this one when Tanaka was 117 and a half to compare ?! now that I saw the video till the end ( I shouldn’t have ruched in) : she still drinks one glass of wine per day, she had a twin sister who died when they were one yo. Apparently she worked as a nurse in a retirement home till her 100th birthday and had to take care of people who where 20 years less than her. She also remembers all the ages of her great grand-nephews and nieces, pretty incredible. It’s incredibly touching to hear her talk, she had a beautiful langage, the one we doesn’t hear much nowadays anymore

Quite a lot of decent West Indian cricketers from the 1960s still knocking about. In addition to those names mentioned, Gary Sobers, Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith are all big names from that era still batting well into their 80s.

Noted CNN journalist John King discloses he has multiple sclerosis and is immunocompromised. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/19/media/john-king-multiple-sclerosis/index.html

Kane has declined since 117th birthday and even more after 118th birthday (ok just remember that only 2 other people have ever reached it), something probably related to the fact that she got ill in the start of both winters. It doesn't seem like she has during the last year as exceptional mental clarity as Lucile who thinks and speaks really orderly. At least, we don't have a recent video with her speaking so much. Actually Lucile seems like she hasn't declined at all in this field. However this doesn't necessarily mean that she will have a longer lifespan. Of course the fact that she is so stable is a VERY good sign for her. She could go far.

Looking remarkably well.

Died under two months before his 110th, I was really hoping he'd become a supercentenarian. He was exceptionally large for someone his age, didn't lose much weight during his centenarian years.

The oldest living man in Portugal and the brother of Albano Andrade (1909-2021), Alberto Andrade, dead at the age of 109 years, 310 days. They were recognized by the GWR as the oldest living brothers. https://www.jn.pt/local/noticias/aveiro/santa-maria-da-feira/faleceu-com-109-anos-um-dos-irmaos-centenarios-da-feira-14203066.html

Yes, that's a good comparison. I think she, the Queen, will not reach her mother's age. The duties have been wearing her down... a little. Her mother was a pampered retiree for 60 years.

What’s wrong with her eyes and her mouth ? She seems tense. She looks a lot like her mother prior to her death. I’m beginning to wonder if she’s gonna reach the century now...

Looks and sounds a bit worse than in February when she got to 117, but I think she'll make it to 118 (four months). Randon was already in a wheelchair before her supercentenarian years, can still talk and move her hands. Hasn't declined a lot since then.

New video of Lucile Randon.

Ray Fosse? He dead: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/athletics/ray-fosse-former-athletics-broadcaster-and-player-dies-74

Deathlist was created after Cary Grant's death (1904-1986). Kane Tanaka is the last person alive, born before Cary Grant.

After Dos Santos's death less than a month before her 117th birthday, only the top 2 is still standing.

Has missed the last 7 weeks of TV due to COPD health issues and hasn't tweeted in over a month. This is basically the "msc posts updates on the guy all the non-wrestling fans have in their DDP team" thread somehow...

Proper avant garde and minimalist, American composer Harold Budd being reported dead: Looks like he was in London earlier this year. Doesn't appear to have a mention on the Forum up to now.
