Not dead yet, but there are a few (possibly previously unknown?) details on her Alzheimer's here, as Ethan Hawke is releasing a six-hour documentary series/film on Woodward and Paul Newman: https://www.thewrap.com/ethan-hawke-interview-paul-newman-joanne-woodward-last-movie-stars/ The film’s final chapter also grapples with how Woodward, who is still alive at 92, has been dealing with Alzheimer’s for “a couple of decades,” a diagnosis she received just nine days before Newman was diagnosed with terminal cancer (he died in 2008). And Hawke says that sadly she’s “not in a position right now” to talk about her own history.

Never mentioned on this forum before, Nobuyo Ōyama, Japanese voice actress has been suffering from dementia since 2015. Known best from being the longtime Japanese VA of characters Doraemon from Doraemon and Monokuma from Danganronpa.

RIA's Twitter reported him as dead as well for a bit, but that seems have been taken down as well. I'm inclined to believe that this is right in that he's on his deathbed - or that he's already dead, and they're holding back announcing it for some reason, and one person jumped ship.

So Toshack and Furino both discharged, Sanchez will be discharged today. A bad record indeed.

Seddon posts that news of Vladimir Zhirinovsky's death has also been confirmed by Russian news website RIA Novosti. He was 75. His Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zhirinovsky

Who knows how many more he'll outlive before someone finds that portrait in the attic?

Nice, pleasant late spring evening - if you roll up to the centre of Beaminster about five miles away you can likely sit out with a pint and still hear him clearly

He's just added another show, in the bright lights of Bridport on 18 May!

Popping Stephen Wilhite's name (which has also been noted elsewhere) on here for completion's sake.

I am sorry that you are going through this, it is not nice at all. Not to mention the amount of people that then say you will be ok, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, can just hush up, even if true. I went through my break up 10 years ago when my husband walked out leaving me with 4 kids under 4, the baby was 9 months, to be with an older woman with no commitments. Break ups are fucked up and no amount of words of comfort will help you right now.Though I am still going to say be strong. It will take time, not going to lie, took me many many years, some people not as long. Please just don't over think things and if you need to cry then cry and cry until you just can't anymore. Take Care

Ah being dumped. Never nice. Two work colleagues have had their marriages finish in recent weeks, and as the person who went through divorce about 9 years ago I’m viewed as an expert in their eyes. One was really cruel. Wife of 25 years took him out for a meal and told him it was over. On Valentines Day of all days.
