British poet Alan Halsey reportedly dead: His wife Geraldine Monk is also a poet who survives him.

Just unsubstantiated Parkinson’s and terminal cancer rumours from various news outlets. I also see no reason why Len Deighton shouldn’t debut on the 2023 DL. As far as spy authors go, he is a real trailblazer and will be 94 years old in four months. Maybe time for some more Last of the Summer Winers too: Brian Murphy, Barbara Young and Roy Clarke (writer).

Katherine Duncan-Jones, Shakespearean scholar, former wife of AN Wilson and mother of food writer Bee Wilson, dead at 81.

Masterlist updated with first hits for @Book and @DoorSlammer also as he is a duplicate hit it does mean you won't get into a tiebreak situation

Pope Francis seems pretty unlikely to me.

What about Lee Grant?

Derek Jacobi doesn't think he will be back on stage again but not retiring according to an interview in The Guardian

It’ll be truly staggering if June Spencer (providing she doesn’t go in 2022), is omitted from next year’s list. She fits all the right criteria, she is older than all the current candidates, she is 100% guaranteed to get a BBC obit, she is now in her retirement and her contribution to British radio over decades and decades has been largely unmatchable.

@Wormfarmer Angela Lansbury is 2 points for the L in the last name Lansbury, for Yvonne, Book, and me any way (not the 1 point given). I do not see Captain Chorizo`s list so I do not know if he has the last or first name listed.

Writing her resignation letter. I mean, seriously. What other urgent business has she got? The Chancellor has done the rounds on the weekend shows, had a 3-hour meeting at Chequers, completely rewritten the mini-budget and written and delivered a 5-minute address to camera to calm the markets and he STILL has time to come to the Commons this afternoon.

American competition swimmer and diver Aileen Riggin died on this day 20 years ago, aged 96.

Yeah, he's only talking about not doing theatre work.

Levi Stubbs died on this day 14 years ago, aged 72. In 1953, while in high school, Stubbs created the band The Four Tops with three of his friends, and was their lead singer. They would join the Motown label in 1963, and in 1965, had their first number-one hit, "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)". The Four Tops would have several more top ten singles, such as "Reach Out I'll Be There", "Bernadette", and "Standing in the Shadows of Love". Stubbs would remain with the band until 2004. In 1986, Stubbs provided the voice of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, based on the off-Broadway musical that in turn was based off of Roger Corman's 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors. The song "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" was nominated for an Oscar. Stubbs was also the voice of Mother Brain in Captain N: The Game Master from 1989 to 1991- the main villain, pulled from Metroid. Stubbs was diagnosed with cancer in 1995, and had a stroke in 2000. His only appearance on the DeathList was in 2008 in the number 47 spot, and was the twelfth death of the year.

My 4 grandparents have got to 91 on average so I should be in the clear!
