With the exception of a few very tough cases, the new DDP photos of 2022 are now done. Big thanks to @Toast, @Ulitzer95 and @Book for their help! Check out their work if you haven't yet.

I gave the Charles Taylor section the level of effort it deserved.

Hayley Mills posted a picture on her IG account with her and one of her costars of old, Nancy Olson. Nancy looks great for 93!

Reports coming in that Leonard Fenton has died. Physician, heal thyself. RIP.

Qin Yi, Chinese actress, one of China's top actresses in the 50s/60s called the "Most beautiful woman in China" by premier Zhou Enlai is 100 today. I think she has been mentioned here before (but damn her parents for making her name too short for the DL forum's search function) and was frail, wheelchairbound and at hospital on her 99th.

The Bonhams auction is now live, if anyone is curious to browse the lots: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/27705/ Interesting selection of film and travel posters, art, books, jewellery, furniture, etc.. Lots of affordable three-figure estimates, but I dare say these might be exceeded. Who wouldn't want this Muppet Christmas Carol bomber jacket?

My guess is they misread this article

If only.

Various tweets reporting the death of actor John William Galt (IMDb), aged 81. Did a fair bit of voice work on video games so getting a lot of tributes, but probably more widely known for portraying President Lyndon B. Johnson in both Forrest Gump and JFK.

Why don't you just fuck off and stay on twitter with all the other fucking anti vax loons.

@Wormfarmer... Leonard Fenton is a solo hit for @Yvonne: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10459951/Leonard-Fenton-dies-aged-95-EastEnders-actor-known-Dr-Legg-passes-away.html

Fun fact - I was so "can't be bothered" when making the profiles for the Charles Taylors that I mistakenly put one as born in "Manitoba, USA"!

Thank you! Did you have the pleasure of selecting which of the sexy pics of Ed Fury to use?!

Some people get their medical advice from reddit. Some people don't. Good luck with that one

You could almost get over the anti-vaxer thing if he wasn’t such a self-righteous cunt.

Soon! I'm on holiday. I'm just watching right now but will make changes when I come back.

And a dozen Cup captains go looking for another Joker They really don't fuck about in American hospices. Get 'em in, bump up the morphine dose, clear 'em out. Next!

Most of the speakers at that rally are anti vaxers who were active in ‘the cause’ pre Covid. In America it has been reported this has caused a drop in childhood vaccinations as well which people fear will become a long running issue and see rates of childhood illnesses that vaccination is available rise.
