Angie at the TCM Classic Film Festival yesterday. Wow! Doesn't she look and sound the healthiest 91 year old ever? Drop Angie and Imelda for 2024, DL Committee!!! https://variety.com/2023/film/news/tcm-festival-angie-dickinson-steven-spielberg-classic-film-1235583643/

A couple of weeks ago I was told I passed my final research paper, which means I have obtained my bachelor at university! It's something I'm quite happy with. And all of that while taking part in deathpools, talking about having priorities And this evening I got the news we'll get a kitten, she'll be welcomed in our home in May if everything goes to plan. It'll be the first time we have a cat since our last one passed away aged 17 at the end of 2021. It will be quite a change to suddenly have such a young animal at home but I'm looking forward to it.

If anyone hasn't yet checked out "Elizabeth is Missing " (available on BBC iPlayer) , this is a wonderful insight into Alzheimers . 2020 BAFTA gong assured for Glenda. Now I know she was acting.....and she is "only" 83....but she gives such a convincing performance that you have to wonder...? Anyway...a few players pick her every year.....and it may well be worth keeping an eye out when she collects the gong on Feb 2nd ?

Jackie's still regularly seen on the grid walk before a grand prix. Looks sprightlier even than Martin Brundle who's like 20 years his junior.

Saw Farlowe last year at A New Day and reported on the form studying, tbh he didn't look or sound great and actually sat down in a chair onstage when the instumental passages kicked in. Only David Hepworth appears to be reporting it atm, but he's not exactly a senationalist or known for getting things badly wrong. Presumably he has some inside track on this.

I know he's not a popular topic on here, but this Twitter thread ishilarious.

Hospitalised.

Do you mean your post about Elizabeth Maxwell, that was simply moved to the Widows thread? Twat. Our guest hasn't got the brains he/she was born with obviously. I wonder if the fucking twat will offer a grovelling apology for his/her fuck up. There's more chance of me being the meat in a Dave Grohl/Robbie Williams filthy sandwich.

German countertenor Klaus Nomi was one of the first celebrities to die of complications from AIDS, as he died on August 6, 1983.

The best I can do is that my great aunt was also my step-great grandmother, and my great grandfather was also my great uncle. (My maternal great grandfather married my dad's aunt).
