Sir Christopher Mallaby (wiki), British diplomat, dead at 85. The UK's ambassador to France (1993–1996) and West Germany/Germany (1988–1993). Times death notice. Copy and pasted below.

Hollywood Reporter obit for Mitchell Ryan. Defo a name for the annual TCM reel, guaranteed due to him playing the main villain in Lethal Weapon.

Post here that Mitchell Ryan may have died (after Hal Holbrook of course): Obviously Lethal Weapon as well, also appeared in Star Trek TNG as Will Ryker's father, but not a pick in the current Scavvy Hunt. Voiced Greg's father on Dharma And Greg. Any news on the Book of Face to back up this Dark Shadows' fanpost? IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752751/ IBDB: https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/mitchell-ryan-80871 Never seemingly picked for the DDP.

Many QOs for Johnny Brown, here is an example: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-johnny-brown-dead-comedian-26392246

Gorbachev currently hospitalised and "unwell", but says "Putin must be stopped".

Ken Duberstein, Ronald Reagan's final Chief of Staff, reported dead, aged 77. He was also a consultant on The West Wing.

German film actress Ingrid Lutz (Wiki) is 98 today

Have you considered: 1. How many pregnant women decided to leave the country in the past month or so to be somewhere safer? 2. How many pregnant women have evacuated since war began last week? 3. That getting accurate numbers rather than anecdotal reports in the middle of a war zone is nigh on impossible? Honest to God...

Johnny Brown, who played Nathan Bookman in 58 episodes of Good Times as part of a Hollywood career that pushed 50 years, has died. He was 84. https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/4827454/johnny-brown-death-obituary-good-times-actor-bookman/

Hollywood Reporter obit for Billy Watson. May lead him to get a QO. Not that it matters so much, as he was wasn't picked in the DDP (neither were Garry Watson or Mildred Kornman) but I'm curious to see if all 3 of them can obit as the last survivors of the silent era.

A Disney legend also appearing in the original The Shaggy Dog. A sad loss.

That's Life!

Wow the first big shock death of the year (unless I'm missing anyone). Remember watching him during the ashes, a great player.

Welsh poet and historian Ruth Bidgood (wiki) supposedly dead at 99. A pick on several pools on here.

If true, and reported widely in the red tops already, Shane Warne last picked for the DDP in 2016 so @Death Impends List of the Missed: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2016/celebs_W.html#warnes

John Stahl STV Obit: https://news.stv.tv/entertainment/take-the-high-road-and-game-of-thrones-actor-john-stahl-dies-aged-69

Billy Watson of the Watson family dead at 98. This leaves his brother Garry Watson and Mildred Kornman as the last known living actors to appear in silent film era. Maybe Alma Carroll is also alive too. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/statesmanexaminer/name/william-watson-obituary?pid=201491107

Tomiichi Murayama is 98 today

I think her cancer has spread.

Farrah Forke (wiki), American television actress, dead from cancer at 54. A familiar face to 90s audiences. Played Alex Lambert in "Wings" and Mayson Drake in "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". Variety. The Sun. Hollywood Reporter.

American Christian social theorist and economist Gary North (wiki) dead at 80. A co-founder of Christian reconstructionism, alongside R. J. Rushdoony (1916–2001) and Greg Bahnsen (1948–1995). Demanded the death penalty for homosexuality, adultery, blasphemy, abortion, witchcraft etc. (sounds like Ultizer's average Saturday night out). Died in hospice care after a gruelling 5 year battle with prostate cancer. Judgement of god much?

Peter Dean did make it to Leonard Fentons funeral, looking like, well a man aged 82. Chap on the right is Tom Watt aka Lofty though, who is aging quite badly imo. He's 65 and that's the most flattering photo the Mail had.
