Mario Zagallo-One of the last living players who won with Brazil in 58,62 World Cup. Has been in and out of the hospital last few years Eva Marie Saint-Bafta/Oscar Winning Golden Age Star who turns 100 next year Glynis Johns- Centurion Hollywood Actress who starred alongside Deathlist staple Dick Van Dkye in Mary Poppins Violeta Chamorro-Former President of Nicuaraga who has advanced Dementia and is under 24/7 care and bedridden now Joan Plowright-Turns 95,and probably a big enough name to where she should be a bedblocker for the list going forward

Sandra Day O’Connor will be dead within the next 2 or 3 years. Put her on the 2024 list or lose the chance altogether. She would be a very good replacement for Mrs. Carter (and possibly her husband). I think it is also time to add Clint Eastwood (or Jack Nicholson), there are a lot less notable names on the DL list with less issues.

Seconding Lovell, DL still needs an astronaut and him and Buzz are probably the last from that generation to be well known enough for the front page

Zhang Lixiong turns 110 today and becomes a supercentenarian.

The Internet Celebrities thread exists.

Science fiction author Herbert Gold (wiki) dead at 99.

Would like to see at least one cricketer included. Gary Sobers, Geoff Boycott, Dickie Bird and Neil Harvey are all good candidates. Not a cricketer but I'd like to see Colin Jeavons included if he makes the starting line.

It displays on my desktop. Signatures in general don't display on the mobile layout.

Would be ironic if Shane Macgowan were to follow seeing as Ackland was in the video of the single which beat the Pogues to the punch in Xmas '87!* *PSB won the battle but the Pogues definitely won the war though.

Sandra Day O'Connor.

Dove Windsor.

Jimmy will not cope her passing. He is 99 and in hospice care since February, he is at the imminent end of his life. I think that he will not attend the funeral of his wife, he is too much frail or maybe he will attend in wheelchair and in poor health and in these case it will be his last public apparition. I think, in one month, he will be at rest with his wife. I think Jimmy will joins his partner into the grave much faster than Queen Elizabeth joining Prince Philip or George Bush Sr joining Barbara Bush.

Updated for Carter & Ackland This is the third most successful year ever. In 2013 there were four hits later than this and in 2020 there were three. I think this year could at least draw level with 2017 but I do not see it surpassing 2020

This arrived today. It's absolutely gorgeous. Giffard Banane du Brésil Now to find some cocktails where it will shine. A lot that I've looked at are far too "busy" with other ingredients.

Alain Delon, Ryan O'Neal, Leontyne Price, Joan Plowright, Joe Don Baker, Michael Schumacher, Val Kilmer, Richard Wilson, Donald P. Bellisario, Michael York, Shirley Eaton and Brian Blessed.

Len Deighton spy novelist turns 95 next February and Roy Clarke sitcom writer 94 in January might worthy of consideration

If they wanted similar types of people as 2023 here are some subs for those who've died this year. Joseph Estrada to replace Musharraf (non-English speaking world leaders) Richard M. Sherman to replace Bacharach (composers) John Williams to replace Sakamoto (composers) Douglas Hurd to replace Lawson (Thatcher ministers) James Earl Jones to replace Belafonte (black actors in their 90s) Stuart Hall to replace Harris (nonces) Phil Collins to replace Turner (musicians) Noam Chomsky to replace Kundera (writers) John Ashton to replace Bennett (musicians) Michael Aspel to replace Parkinson (presenters) David Attenborough to replace Barker (presenters) Rupert Murdoch to replace Al-Fayed (business tycoons) Denis Law to replace Charlton (footballers) Glenys Kinnock to replace R. Carter (political wives) Paul Dooley to replace Ackland (actors)

I think Jimmy is this years Bob Dole/Pele, who lingers most of the year but goes in December. History has shown that there's often a random old timer going at the end of the year. A Cardin, a Richard Adams, a Valery d'estaing and so on.

New sub: Shane MacGowan

I find it funny that Norman Lear isn't even in that kind of discussion despite being literally over 100 already.

Finnish athlete Kari Rakhamo and former mayor of Helsinki from 1991 to 1996, has died aged 90. He competed in triple jump at the 1956 and 1960 Games.

Eddy Monsels, Surinamese sprinter who competed at the 1968 games has died aged 75. Obit (In Dutch). Józef Wybieralski, Polish field hockey player who competed at the 1972 games has died aged 77. Obit (In Polish).

Miguel de Miguel Montañés dead at 102.

Updated for Bob Barker. If there are two more hits in the next fortnight we could have the earliest ever 13th Hit In 2003 the list was going great guns and then ran out of steam in early September. However with the talent left on the current list we could be rivalling 2020

My great gran, born in 1900, was nearly 97 when she died. Her life almost stretched the entire 20th Century. I still remember her well but my younger siblings don't.
