Lol, how long's this one been dying for now? 8 years? She should change her surname to Nolan.

Veteran South Korean actor Byun Hee-Bong dead at 81 from pancreatic cancer: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/09/veteran-actor-byun-hee-bong-passes-away-after-battling-cancer DDP pick.

King Louis VII of France died on this day 843 years ago, aged 60. - Louis was the son of King Louis VI, and became the heir apparent upon the death of his older brother Philip in 1131; afterwards he was made a junior king. - Louis' father died in 1137, and he became the solo king. In that same year, he would marry Eleanor of Aquitaine- the two of them would participate in the Second Crusade from 1147, spending two years away from home. They would have two daughters together, but their marriage was annulled in 1152; Eleanor soon married the future king Henry II of England. - Louis and Henry soon became rivals, and after having two more daughters with Constance of Castile, Henry would soon reconcile by betrothing his son Henry with Louis' daughter Margaret- the two were married in 1172. - In 1165, Louis would finally get his male heir with his third wife Adela of Champagne- the future king Philip II, whom he crowned as junior king in 1179. - Louis died after a 43-year reign; by the time of Philip's crowning, he was paralyzed- some historians believe this was caused by a stroke.

Two new living Japanese SCs born in 1910 are now validated by at least one organization... Katsugo Tago (28 March 1910). The name of former Anonymous of Tokyo is now revealed and validated by Grg. Yuko Sato (29 September 1910) previously unknown, validated by Longeviquest.

Tbh, a rising star who was stepping down at the next election. It's like me waiting for Joe Dolce's next #1 hit single.

In Greek mythology there is a creature called a Hydra which, if you chop one of its heads off, two new ones will grow back in its place. It seems this happened with Kikuyo Honma as two new Japanese SCs born in 1910 have taken her place right after she died USA and Italy 1910: 3 people each Japan 1910: 7 Everyone else: 1 or 0 Japan is dominating 1910 Edit: Fujiko Mihara validated by LQ. Number increases to eight

Maybe... the mysteries of fame, @Ulitzer95. Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are famous in the whole world. And there are many artists (with real talent) who are famous in their country but unknown in the rest of the world. In Spain, Pepe Domingo Castaño won the National Award for Arts and Sciences applied to Sport from the High Council for Sports, four Ondas Awards, two Golden Antennas Awards, the Joaquín Prat Radio Award from the Spanish Radio Academy, and a Golden Microphone from the Federation of Professional Radio and Television Associations of Spain, among many other awards. That's why Pepe Domingo Castaño was a "legend" and a "great master", at least in my humble opinion. But... all opinions are welcome.

Plus reserve goalkeeper Bobby Ferguson and traveling reserve Frank McLintock are still alive as well.

@WEP... Kitty Hart-Moxon is a duplicate pick:

there's still time for that...
