Golden Age of Hollywood star and Oscar nominee Cara Williams (wiki) dead at 96. Also once married to actor John Drew Barrymore (1932–2004), and mother to John Barrymore III (who in turn is Drew Barrymore's half-brother). Mentioned on here in Ideas and Possibilities threads as far back as 2011, and played in several pools. Dying just in time to be featured in TCM Remembers 2021, but surprisingly not picked in the DDP (last time was in 2019!). That may prove to be a fatal blow in us breaking that record for # of hits.

DEAD His autobiographical book "My Childhood in New Guinea" is a classroom staple in his homeland and he served as the first Papua New Guinean Ambassador to the US.

Lots of good ideas and suggestions! If you want to predict what the DL will look like, please take part in the DL Prediction Game:

Oscar Wyatt (wiki), 97, American businessman who was involved in the Oil-for-Food Program scandal in '07, looks absolutely f***ed in these pics from 8 days ago. Unpicked in the DDP this year. I imagine there's a good chance of him getting a QO.

My suggestion for the 2022 DeathList: Keep Dick Van Dyke Betty White Angela Lansbury Bob Barker Alan Greenspan Henry Kissinger Pope Benedict Leslie Philips Tony Bennett Harry Belafonte Prunella Scales Willie Nelson Joanne Woodward Emperor Akihito Jimmy Carter Jean-Marie Le Pen Jacques Delors Imelda Marcos Mel Brooks Stanley Baxter Sidney Poitier June Brown Queen Elizabeth Linda Nolan Shannen Doherty Return Buzz Aldrin Cleo Laine Lester Pigott Desmond Tutu David Attenborough Tom Smith Louis Farrakhan Mikhail Gorbachev Olivia Newton John Pervez Musharraf Jerry Lee Lewis Nigel Lawson New Ryan O`Neal Rupert Murdoch Jean-Louis Trintingnant Rolf Harris James Earl Jones Billy Connolly Doddie Weir Pele Ethel Kennedy Glynis Johns Nichelle Nichols June Lockhart Eva-Marie Saint

Family now acknowledges.

Armin Mueller-Stahl was hospitalised late last year for heart problems and will be 91 years old in a matter of days. One for the 2022 DL?

Still alive as of 10 minutes ago.

A few seemingly reputable outlets, including the Mexican MSN, are starting to publish that Vicente Fernandez died early this morning. However, there is no official family confirmation.

And of course, they can PM them to me to be included in the Crowdsourced Deathlist. Cheap plug!

First post - so forgive me if there is some kind of protocol I should follow which I missed? Alan Holmes of Sounds Incorporated died last Thursday December 9th. https://www.facebook.com/alan.holmes.12/about_life_events

Luis Echeverría, you're much in demand.

Thanks Mari that was only because somebody nicked Angela Lansbury off me

Mel Lastman, who was mayor of Toronto from 1998 to 2003, has died. He was 88. Lastman was also mayor of North York, Ontario from 1972 to 1997. A unique DDP pick and joker. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/12/11/mel-lastman-former-mayor-of-toronto-has-died.html

Yes not just because of his age but because we need at least one name on the list that we can cheer the demise of, now Limbaugh's gone. I also think George Alagiah should be considered, who unfortunately isn't very lucky with cancer and had to start another break from the News last October: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/oct/18/bbcs-george-alagiah-to-take-break-from-tv-after-cancer-spread

The Mirror broke the story first.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/dec/11/labour-races-to-nine-point-lead-in-polls-in-wake-of-sleaze-controversies-at-no-10 Labour Party taken a nine point lead over the conservatives in latest opinion poll. The scandal is cutting through to the public and starting to bite.

Not on this issue they conveniently won’t be.

I should’ve said this was a list of the 10 oldest singles Grand Slam winners. Of all tennis players these are likely the most obitable

Death notice for Peter Spoden (wiki), 100, German Luftwaffe night fighter during World War II. He only turned 100 last month. Coverage (with picture) here.
