From where Liz Truss stands everyone looks Left Wing and 'The Establishment' are those checks and balances that Stop a work experience girl's idiotic dogma from ruining the countries finances. She is dog whistling to conspiracy theorists and other right wing nut jobs

Pervez Musharraf is a hit for several of us here.

Yes those well known Left Wingers/ Marxists *checks notes* The Bank of England

Another big name but one that raises a possibility of a quick one in each category win? @MariNisia @Perhaps @Spade_Cooley All have both hits so far

Corruption and controversy?? In Pakistan?? Surely some mistake

A death I feel literally no emotion over. Glad the DL got a hit? Meh. Any reason I should celebrate and/or mourn this guy?

Pervez Musharraf is an exception to the observation that almost all Deathlist names found fame before the 90s. He barely even counts as a 90s name, as he couped his way to power in 1999 but only really got notable in the aftermath of 9/11.

Barbara Hershey, the attractive and brilliant American actress, who started her acting career with a recurring role on the television comedy "Gidget" in 1965, whose first film was the romantic comedy "With Six You Get Eggroll" (1968), and winner of an Emmy, a Golden Globe and two Cannes Film Festival Awards for Best Actress, is 75 today. David Selby, American film, stage, and television character actor, widely known for playing his television roles of Quentin Collins on the gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows", and Richard Channing, the manipulator and ruthless businessman who's tortured by a secret: he's the oldest child of Angela Channing who was reported to have died as a newborn infant by doctors, on the soap opera "Falcon Crest", is 82 today.

I guess you deserve an update... Sorry for taking such a long time, but these few weeks were a battle between exhaustion and doing DDP work. However, I'd say the latter is almost done now. Collecting the new photos is almost complete (announcement in a few days). So, I hope I get most of the hits in. Forgive me, if I miss someone. Missing names will be found though, as I will go through all the new names of this year and add the data necessary for this game. But first things first - the technical: The formula for the score has been corrected. Everyone should have their points for Frank McGarvey now. Two deaths that didn't deliver points were Christina Strutt and Mark Stokes. Christina Strutt's premature death in 2022 means that a sub gets used. She was on my team, so I actually had to make use of my ... fifth (?) sub. The teams who picked Mark Stokes might have wished that he had died prematurely, seeing that he has received no obits so far. The year is still very young though, but I do wonder where such an obit could still appear. Let's wait and see. As far as the hits go, well, January wasn't exactly the busiest month, but Roberto Dinamite is a differential here as well as in the DDP and keeps Banana in the lead. He also had Randy Gonzalez, but is not alone in this as RadGuy had him, too and follows him with a yet unused younger joker back in hand. RadGuy would also benefit immensely from a late Mark Stokes obit. But well, for now it doesn't really matter that much yet who's in the lead. Other hits were, as mentioned above, Jean-Pierre Jabouille for three teams, Sylvia Sims, the former "Grande Dame of British cinema (wikipedia)" a unique hit for Gooseberry Crumble, then lots of points across the board for those who picked King Constantine II of Greece. Lucile Randon was a hit for four teams and delivers four points each. Maybe that one is going to make the difference? Similarly, the old Canadian mayor Hazel McCallion delivers 21 points for three teams. Italian A-list hit Gina Lollobrigida scores for two teams, Thatcher and chilean way. David Crosby was also a hit for two people, Mortal Caso and BuffaloPhil. Maybe one might have expected him on more teams? Finally, Yoon Yeong-Hee was unique hit for Cpt Chorizo who went all in on this name, and it pays off. If those are all the hits, then this is the result.... if a name is missing, tell me, but I'll definitely check a couple more times before the next update: Rank Team Score 1 Banana 326 2 RadGuy 248 3 Perhaps 224 4 The Spinosaurus 210 5 Cpt.

There is not really a reason to mourn. He was a controversial figure. Musharraf was accused of assassinating Benazir Bhutto but there are some doubts to those charges. (R.I.P. Benazir) Also, I believe he was convicted of corruption.

I could see Kim Novak, Clive Davis, Jane Goodall, Carol Burnett, Barry Humphries, John Williams and Rita Moreno on future lists but I’m not sure the rest are famous enough.

Gary Conway, the attractive American actor and screenwriter, who started his professional career as a model for physique magazines in the 1950s, remembered for his co-starring role with Gene Barry in the detective series "Burke's Law" in the mid-1960s, is 87 today. Natalie Imbruglia, the stupendous Australian actress, model, singer, and songwriter, who played Beth Brennan on the Australian soap "Neighbours", and winner of one Billboard Music Award, and two Brit Awards, is 48 today. Imbruglia's debut album, "Left of the Middle" (1997), sold seven million copies worldwide. "Torn", her noted and successful first single, is one of the best selling singles of all time.

Didn't think he'd lose a "first person who used to suck their own cock to entertain the boys in the dressing room to die" race to Virgil, but there you go.

Dick Cheney

Hasn’t been seen in over a year!

I am convinced Biden was destined to be President right now. He was confirmed the winner by the electoral college yesterday- 14.12.20 14+12+20= 46. Biden is the 46th President.Also on the day of the election on Nov 3 he was exactly the same age , to the day,a s Ronald Reagan was the day he left office .Reagan was the 40th president.Biden is sworn in 40 years to the day after Reagan was. It's all written in the stars !

Olivia De Havilland

Big loss, my 11th hit. Lets see if Obama will attend funeral? He can sit next to Putin.
