Red Rum, 1991?

Kris Hallenga's plans for a living funeral: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12068055/Cancer-campaigner-Kris-Hallenga-reveals-plans-living-funeral.html

I can sometimes see Trump living to a very old age like Henry Kissinger will, but yes 92-93 years is most likely for Trump imo. Trump has aged very well (he will be 77 next month!) and is not in the frail stages yet.

Two familiar faces of German television are gone: Ernst Huberty, football commentator and longtime host of Germany's most successfull sports news programme "Sportschau" dies at 96: https://www.tagesschau.de/sport/sportschau/ernst-huberty-gestorben-101.html Shortly after GDR-sports journalist Heinz Florian Oertel, who was 95: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/heinz-florian-oertel-101.html Karin Gregorek, actress, who appeared on several tv series including a main cast role in the nun-monastery-based comedy "Um Himmels Willen" died at 81: https://www.tagesschau.de/kultur/karin-gregorek-tot-101.html

In other news, Roger Pearson (wiki), a prominent British anthropologist and extreme right activist, died on January 4, aged 95 (another source here) but it was only really announced late March/early April.

With the death of Sir Roger Moore on the same day as news of the Manchester bombing broke, I thought to myself that it's unfortunate that he had to die when he did as his death would have been a bigger news story if it had happened on a different day. Aside from Roger Moore, what other badly timed celebrity deaths have there been? As in, ones that conflict with a major news event or disaster? Joe Cocker's death conflicted with the Glasgow bin lorry crash and was 3 days before Christmas which wasn't great timing. Any others?

A few gone, others still trucking but imo if a name suggested in here at pension age was still alive a decade o more after the suggestion it was a good call. The early Parsons, Lansbury and Bennett calls for example. Also John Woodvine is still alive. Shortly after Mary's suggestion above he had a heart incident and made a full recovery. Legend. 100% DLy in my book. Very much a face most who watched UK TV from the sixties to noughties will recognise.

Well, someone could tell him that - and show him photographic evidence of stuff he's forgotten. It's heartbreaking to think there are England Rugby World Cup winners who can watch themselves winning that final on video and can't recall playing in the game.

Done.

Call Me By Your Name is a masterpiece and Ivory deserve it.

Most recently, Wickstrom lived in an apartment in Linwood, according to property records. Saginaw County Clerk Michael Hanley confirmed that a death certificate was making its way to his office. He doesn't sound too sad about it. SC

Returning to TV as part of a Heathers reboot. Brain tumour for breakfast?

Death list hit Charles lane 8 years ago

So so right you are beebee........he is better looking all the time and has one heck of a nifty nice accent.

He does? Where, prey tell is he residing in the States? Or is he perhaps in Canada or Mexico? Which part of Antartica did you mean after all the Accadian region is vast? My sources say he lives in Marbella Spain with the tire lady Michellin or Micheline or something like that and has a place in the Bahamas which is connected at least somewhat to the British Isles since it was a British ruled place for a while.......and look they are still a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations even with their independent rule since 1973......Seem rather on the British side to me so Mr. Connery is not voilating anyone or anything and your detestatioin of him is misdirected Winnie. You see even though he has a home in part of the Americas it is British which connects him to Scotland.
