Schmaltzy german novelist Barbara Noack has died at 98: https://www.bild.de/lifestyle/kultur/kultur/autorin-barbara-noack-tot-die-koenigin-des-happy-ends-ist-mit-98-jahren-verstorb-82324006.bild.html

There has been suggestion that when she knew she was rapidly failing, and in Scotland, she wanted to stay so Operation Unicorn would be enacted with all the pomp that Scotland never sees. It made monarchy, however briefly, seem more relevant to Scotland and perhaps even more Scottish. One last gift for the Scottish Nationalists. I think she may well be the first monarch...possibly ever...to have the Crown of Scotland resting on her coffin. Certainly the last since James V in 1542, or possibly his father. I was certainly surprised when I learned the ancient Crown of Scotland would be used as part of Unicorn.

THANKS JOHN. FOR A SECOND THERE I ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT MICHAEL CAINE WAS 189 YEARS OLD. BUT THEN I REMEMBERED WHAT YOU ALWAYS TELL ME. NOT EVERYONE MAKES IT TOO 100 OR IS BEYOND 100.

Michael Caine born in 1833? No wonder he's looking tired

Steelers Hall of Famer Franco Harris has died at 72: https://www.wtae.com/article/steelers-hall-of-famer-franco-harris-dead-at-72/42304035 Quite inconvenient as he was supposed to speak at a 50-year anniversary event of his "Immaculate Reception (?)" in a few days. Must have been out of the blue.

This amateur in memorial video is BETTER than TCM Remembers. Whoever is behind this, TCM really needs to hire them!

So does Peter Falk I'm told.

Christ if they can’t trovata his pagina then he’s fucked!

Jane Fonda, the admired American actress and political activist, the daughter of actor Henry Fonda and socialite Frances Ford Seymour, winner of two Academy Awards for her lead roles in "Klute" (1971) and "Coming Home" (1978), is 85 today. Kiefer Sutherland, the excellent British-Canadian actor and musician, the son of acting legend Donald Sutherland and actress Shirley Douglas, who was Jack Bauer, the lethal and troubled counter-terrorist agent of the hit television series "24", is 56 today.

Ok, but it still good to pick young folks who had terminal illness. For example, Jonnie Irwin and Gianluca Vialli must be in the list next year because they had terminal illness!

Chia Boon Leong (wiki) dead at 97.

Ulitzer's post from Ideas and Possibilities 2022 Now 100, he (for search purposes Tony Vaccaro) was recently hospitalised with a burst stomach ulcer for weeks. Apparently discharged around a week ago, he attended some event a few days ago and was wheelchairbound.

What about that bloke who played Columbo? Doesn't he have Alzheimers too?

Mike Hodges, director of Get Carter and Flash Gordon, dead at 90

FFS. I take an hour or so out to watch a game of football and the lunatics take over the asylum. I'm going to start deleting even more threads like this and putting newbies that create crap threads on mod preview. BE WARNED.

Screenshot from June 27, 2019. From left to right on the top row is: Henry Kissinger (born 1923), Joyce Randolph (born 1924), Lawrence Ferlinghetti (born 1919), Angela Lansbury (born 1925), Sidney Poitier (born 1927), Ethel Kennedy (born 1928), Jimmy Carter (born 1924), Rosalynn Carter (born 1927), Carl Reiner (born 1922), Arlene Dahl (born 1925), Mel Brooks (born 1926), Betty White (born 1922), Dick Van Dyke (born 1925), and Marion Ross (born 1928). From left to right one the bottom row is: June Lockhart (born 1925), Tommy Lasorda (born 1927), Ella Jenkins (born 1924), Norman Jewison (born 1926), Cloris Leachman (born 1926), Tony Bennett (born 1926), Elizabeth II (born 1926), Prince Philip (born 1921), Alicia Alonso (born 1920), Chuck Yeager (born 1923), Cicely Tyson (born 1924), Kirk Douglas (born 1916), Ruth Westheimer (born 1928), and Norman Lear (born 1922). Screenshot from July 14, 2019. Harry Belafonte (born 1927) displaced Norman Jewison (born 1926) and Olivia de Havilland (born 1916) displaced Arlene Dahl (born 1925). Screenshot from August 20, 2019. When Lina Wertmüller (born 1928) replaced Alicia Alonso (born 1920), Ella Jenkins (born 1924) and Joyce Randolph (born 1924) switched spots with each other. Screenshot from September 21, 2019. When Bob Newhart (born 1929) just turned 90, he replaced Lawrence Ferlinghetti (born 1919). Since these two were facing opposite directions, Carl Reiner (born 1922) had to be moved to the opposite side of the page and his picture had to be changed to himself facing the opposite direction. Screenshot from November 15, 1929. Four new spots for individuals to be displayed on the home page were added. They are Ed Asner (born 1929), Stirling Moss (born 1929), Marge Champion (born 1919), and Arlene Dahl (born 1925) finally came back. Screenshot from January 28, 2020. Tippi Hedren (born 1930) and Buzz Aldrin (born 1930) just turns 90 and they replaced Marge Champion (born 1919) and Stirling Moss (born 1929) respectively. Because Aldrin and Moss were facing opposite directions, Carl Reiner (born 1922) had to be moved to the other side of the page with the picture of him being changed to another one of himself facing the opposite direction. Screenshot from February 17, 2020. As Kirk Douglas (born 1916) passed away in early February 2020, Doc Severinsen (born 1927) took over his spot. Severinsen actually returned to the home page of this site because Douglas and Severinsen were both featured on the home page on this site prior to 2019 once. Screenshot from August 3, 2020. When Carl Reiner (born 1922) passed away in late June 2020, Frank Gehry (born 1929) replaced him and when Olivia de Havilland (born 1916) passed away in late July 2020, Dolores Huerta (born 1930) replaced her. At that same time, Huerta and Tippi Hedren (born 1930) switched spots with each other. Screenshot from January 19, 2021. When Chuck Yeager (born 1923) passed away in December 2020, Burt Bacharach (born 1928) replaced him. When Tommy Lasorda (born 1927) passed away in January 2021, Robert Duvall (born 1931) replaced him and Duvall turned 90 just two days before Lasorda passed away. When James Earl Jones (born 1931) just turns 90, he replaced Frank Gehry (born 1929), even though Gehry was still alive at that time and even as of today. Screenshot from February 28, 2021. When Cloris Leachman (born 1926) and Cicely Tyson (born 1924) passed away in late January 2021, Rosamary Harris (born 1927) took over and Ethel Kennedy (born 1928) returned. Also, Robert Duvall (born 1929), Ed Asner (born 1929), and Tony Bennett (born 1926) all switched spots with each other while Burt Bacharach (born 1928) and James Earl Jones (born 1931) also switched spots with each other. And then Marion Ross was moved two spaces to the right. Screenshot from April 14, 2021. When Prince Philip (born 1921) passed away, Mikhail Gorbachev (born 1931) replaced him. Screenshot from August 4, 2021. Dolores Huerta (born 1930) and Arlene Dahl (born 1925) switched spots with each other. Also, the Pre-1920 and 1920 birth year pages were merged together to become the Pre-1921 birth year page. Screenshot from September 24, 2021. When Barbara Eden (born 1931) just turned 90, she replaced Arlene Dahl (born 1925). When Ed Asner (born 1929) passed away in late August 2021, Berry Gordy (born 1929) replaced him. Screenshot from December 8, 2021. Marla Gibbs (born 1931) displaced Ethel Kennedy (born 1928) and then Marsha Hunt (born 1917), Ella Jenkins (born 1924), Yayoi Kusama (born 1929), Angela Lansbury (born 1925), Estelle Parsons (born 1927), and Joyce Randolph (born 1924) switched spots. Screenshot from January 21, 2022. When Betty White (born 1922) passed away in late December 2021, Lata Mangeshkar (born 1929) replaced her and when Sidney Poitier (born 1927) passed away in early January 2022, Norman Jewison (born 1926) temporarily returned to take over Poitier. Also, Berry Gordy (born 1929) was moved to where Poitier used to be. Screenshot from March 27, 2022. When Lata Mangeshkar (born 1929) passed away in early February 2022, Iris Apfel (born 1921) took over after Sofia Gubaidulina (born 1931) did. Also, Rita Moreno (born 1931) replaced Joyce Randolph (born 1924), even though Randolph was still alive at that time and even as of today. Screenshot from June 25, 2022. After Norman Jewison (born 1926) temporarily returned as Sidney Poitier (born 1927) passed away, William Shatner (born 1931) replaced Jewison. Since Shatner is still going strong, I'm hoping he makes it to at least 100. Screenshot from September 25, 2022. When Mikhail Gorbachev (born 1931) passed away in late August 2022, Willie Mays (born 1931) replaced him. When Marsha Hunt (born 1917) passed away in early September 2022, Ethel Kennedy (born 1928) temporarily returned to take her spot. When Elizabeth II (born 1926) passed away in early September 2022, Nancy Kassebaum (born 1932) replaced her. Screenshot from today, December 20, 2022. When Angela Lansbury (born 1925) passed away five days shy of her 97th birthday, Piper Laurie (born 1932) replaced her. When Ellen Burstyn (born 1932) just turned 90, she replaced Ethel Kennedy (born 1928) and then Nancy Kassebaum (born 132) was moved. Now, here are my predictions and what I expect in 2023. When Yoko Ono (born 1933) turns 90, she could possibly take over a lesser known individual for the home page on this site. I am expecting Tony Bennett (born 1926) who currently has Alzheimer's disease to die and/or pass away in March 2023, shortly after Quincy Jones turns 90 because I want there to be a higher chance for Quincy Jones (born 1933) to be featured on this home page on this site since he met and knew Sidney Poitier (born 1927) and Norman Jewison (born 1926) in person who were also featured on this home page in the past. If the picture of Michael Caine (born 1933) is facing the same direction as Buzz Aldrin (born 1930) on this site, I am expecting Aldrin to possibly pass away in early April 2023 after he turned 93 so that there can be a greater chance for Caine to be featured on the home page of this site. I am expecting Doc Severinsen (born 1927) to possibly pass away in April 2023 so that there can be a good chance for Clint Eastwood (born 1930) to be featured on the home page of this site since Buzz Aldrin is currently the only man born in 1930 featured on that home page. When Carol Burnett (born 1933) turns 90, it is likely that she will replace Marion Ross (born 1928) who may still be alive at that point since Marion Ross is not as well-known as other celebrities. When Willie Nelson (born 1933) turns 90, it is likely that he will replace Willie Mays (born 1931) since Nelson seems to be more well-known between the two.

Not every thread that gets 99 posts will get 100 posts etc etc

I actually don't know why people hate this guy. I think he's trying to contribute to this website but he clearly has autism.

Why are you doing this, how old are you ? Do you understand Why it’s so frustrating ?
