Yeah, findagrave editor seems to believe she is dead because she's marked deceased on familysearch, but living people on there over a certain age are usually always marked dead, so people can add profiles and make trees or something along those lines. In any case, her son's obituary from August confirms she is still alive.

Martti Ahtisaari died over a week ago but I forgot to update this game. Oops. He was a diplomat and peace negotiator who helped in the independence of Namibia. He became the president of Finland in 1994 and supported Finland's entry to the EU, and he won the Nobel peace prize for his efforts to resolve international conflicts. He is a hit for 3 teams. @Hell reaches the 10 point mark while @Thatcher and @MariNisia share third place with 14 points each.

I *may* have hidden Nadine's novels behind other books when I saw them in the library the other day...

The Chinese prefer forcibly retiring people and letting them live in respectable obscurity to the crude Russian approach to purging.

Also worth mentioning that he died a couple of days ago

95, but no doubt a few of them are already dead off radar. There’s only one individual still alive from an earlier Olympics. Iris Cummings from the 1936 Games. She’s 103 in December.

Vincent Price died on this day 30 years ago, aged 82. - Price moved from the US to the UK in 1934 to seek a degree in fine arts from Courtauld, and made his professional acting debut in a 1935 version of Chicago. - Among his early movie roles include Joseph Smith in Brigham Young, Vital Dutour in The Song of Bernadette, and most notably the Duke of Clarence in Tower of London, which was his first horror movie role. Outside of horror roles, he was also known to appear in movies such as The Saint and The Ten Commandments (the latter of which, he portrayed the overseer Moses kills). - In the 1960s, Price would team up with (the still living) Roger Corman for many B-movie horror films, particularly adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. - On television, Price is known for being a regular panelist on Hollywood Squares and making guest appearances on episodes of The Brady Bunch and The Muppet Show: On the topic of puppets, Price was lampooned in Spitting Image, where he would try (and fail) to lure people into ghastly traps. - Price also did voice work, with some of his most memorable roles being the narrator of Tim Burton's Vincent (whom he would work with again in Edward Scissorhands), Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, and Zigzag the Grand Vizier in The Thief and the Cobbler; the latter film was known for its development hell- he recorded his lines for in the 1960s, and it was released mere months before he died. - Price did the spoken verse in Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and provided this now iconic laugh: - Outside of acting, Price was an avid chef, and published several cookbooks and audio tapes. - In his later years, Price was diagnosed with COPD and Parkinson's disease, but it was ultimately lung cancer that doomed him.

Well I am a hybrid of this. I l really love having unique picks in my teams but I don't do it to be competitive as I'm sure you can tell and I only pick people who I am interested in either for themselves, the genre or even sub genre they fall under or news story/topic that brought them a noteworthy level of fame. Infact I like so many of the probable unique picks that I have a terrible job wittlingly it down to a manageable list! Team submission time is both an agony and a thrill! I couldn't resist including June Kenton, a businesswoman who provides underwear to female British royals but lost the royal warrant and seal of approval for being very indiscrete! It was too delicious but at the same time more worthy people like sociologists and philsophers tickle my interest too. Never would I include someone who I didn't find interesting in some way.

Cross-posting Ayman Nofal's death here. Nofal was the mastermind behind the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was released in 2011 in exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. Among those prisoners was current Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

The casket was a Cozy place for Mr. Powell 20 years ago (50).
