Dead.

Ok, up to my Imeldas voting it's okay, but Paul Bearer still has 2 minus points missing. Since he was not able to correct his voting despite being clearly informed, his two minus points are now forfeited. In addition, the act he last voted down has long since been eliminated (Helen Shapiro). So: Please always concentrate when voting, distribute only +4 and -6 points, pay attention to the person in front, don't forget the current date. I know the rules are very difficult, even if we have only been following them daily for several months...

No Twitter activity from Linda in over 2 weeks. This could be significant as she tended to actively tweet or re-tweet on an almost daily basis. Maybe her time is coming soon.

What do I fancy - five guys or a sub? I know what, I’ll have both……….. …………said the Atlantic Ocean!

Quite a short thread considering she was such a popular pick in lots of different pools on here for years. Anyway, she had a long and impactful career in politics, especially on the topic of Scottish independence. RIP Winnie

Prunella Scales is 91 today

Fred Astaire died on this day 36 years ago, aged 88. - Fred's surname at birth was "Austerlitz"; his family changed it to "Astaire" in 1905 due to the connotations with the Battle of Austerlitz (of the Napoleonic Wars). - Fred and his older sister Adele were both child actors, debuting as a vaudeville act in 1905. They made it to Broadway in 1917, and often starred as dancing partners in the plays. Their act ended with Adele's marriage in 1932. - From there, Astaire would begin to star in movies, often with Ginger Rogers as his leading lady. Astaire requested that his dance scenes would move the films' plots along, and he also innovated single tracking shots. One of his most notable dances was in 1951's Royal Wedding (a scene that would inspire the iconic music video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"): Astaire would retire from dancing in films in 1957 when he was 58 (the same age Christopher Walken was in the music video). - Astaire would move to TV in 1958, hosting several television specials. 1958's An Evening with Fred Astaire earned a total of nine Emmys. - In 1970, Astaire would provide the voice of the mailman narrator of the Rankin/Bass Christmas special Santa Claus in Comin' to Town: - Astaire would be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1975 for his role as Harlee Claiborne in The Towering Inferno. - In his late 70s, Astaire took up skateboarding as a hobby, and broke his wrist one time. - Posthumously, Astaire was the initial inspiration for the Weezer song "Buddy Holly"- the chorus originally went "Wee-ooo you look just like Ginger Rogers/Oh oh I move just like Fred Astaire". Rogers was still alive at the time of the song's release and became DeathList 1995's third hit.

On this day 30 years ago, Patricia Nixon, First Lady of USA between 1969 and 1974, died aged 81. She died before her husband Richard Nixon, who died in April 1994. This had not occurred in nearly 50 years, since 1944, when former First Lady Lou Henry Hoover died 20 years before her husband, former president Herbert Hoover. She was also the fifth and last First Lady to be older than her husband.

Reviving this forgotten thread to say how tired I am of the now ubiquitous word: Toxic I've no objection to its literal use (poisonous, deadly etc), but it's now almost always used metaphorically to express a wide variety of negative meanings.

Its 19 years since the death of actor (Manfred) Frederick Jaeger. Born in Berlin, Germany, he moved to Britain, via France, following Hitler's rise to power, becoming a British citizen in 1950. He graduated from the Guildhall Scool of Music and Drama in 1948, making his stage debut a year later. Over the next almost-half-a-century, he appeared in many Stage, Film, Radio and TV productions, often cast as a German officer (his last film appearance was as a German Flying Ace in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). TV credits included both comedy and drama - he appeared in both The Avengers and The New Avengers, and was a handy comedic foil for the likes of Barry Took and Kenny Everett, as well as appearing in sitcoms, such as Keeping Up Appearances, Yes Minster, Some Mothers do 'ave 'em and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. He's particularly remembered in certain circles as Professor Marius, creator of K-9 in Doctor Who, one of three appearances in the show, which also included the equally-memorable Professor Sorenson in the story Planet of Evil. He retired from acting in 1996, moving to Mallorca, where he died following a long illness, aged 76.
