"I turn 91 in December and I'm busier than I can ever remember being at any point in my career. And I don't understand it at all. I mean, what's all this stuff about ageism in Hollywood? How did I get left out of it? I don't know, except possibly that everybody else who could play those parts has already died, so I'm the only actress still standing who can play the great-grandmother or something." I think based on this quote from the summer, she is more likely to join DeathList forums than actually appear on the list.

Time to give this 50s, 60s and 70s Hollywood icon, fast approaching 90, her own thread. Famous in her own right, too big for Hollywood Possibilities thread. Looking worryingly frail here

Congrats @gcreptile! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.infobae.com/mexico/2023/12/05/murio-juan-pablo-adame-el-panista-que-cumplio-el-sueno-de-ser-senador-por-un-dia/%3foutputType=amp-type

Chris Wilder in at Sheff Utd with a contract until summer 2025, so he'll get them promoted, get sacked and get replaced by Paul Heckingbottom, or summat! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cgelzg09q4yt

Crowdsource Form Guide #6 BongBong Langford Marcos Mom Imelda Marcos Fat,confined to wheelchair,turns 95. Missed her son's Presidential address over the summer. Unlikely to see 2025

She looks fine.

Bob Precht, a producer on the Ed Sullivan Show (who was also Sullivan’s son-in-law), has died

She was a LGBT icon and will be sorely missed. Everyone should wear black tomorrow and campaign for Driving for Dick to get Christmas #1.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" beat Mariah Carey to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. It took 65 years since release to make it to the top, and is Brenda Lee's first number one song on the chart since 1960's "I Want to Be Wanted". She's also the oldest living person to top the chart- she turns 79 in a week.

Crowdsource Form Guide #5 SCP 679438 aka Ruth Langfords mom Object class: Euclid Not much is known about this terrifying SCP. Sources from the SCP foundation this entity is possibly more than 4,000 thousand years old. This SCP looks like a typical SCP bit researchers believe this SCP's extreme old age is possible because it sustains itself on the virality of younger men. In villages where SCP 679438 have been spotted in there's been numerous suspicious deaths of young men in that time frame. Each victim was found looking 50 years older and every single one died from a shattered pelvis. SCP 679438 can only be monitored by female agents after an incident in 2016 that lead to the death of 2 researchers.

I'm fairly sure we can't ban an individual from posting on a certain thread.

Everyone shocked because Jimmy Carter was not the winning pick.

Genuinely don't think there's a level of frailty in Shirley MacLaine I'd call worrying tbh.

As one of its leaders, Mandela would be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1962. - While Robben Island is often given as Mandela's place of imprisonment, he was also transferred between Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison. He was released in 1990, and worked with president FW de Klerk to end Apartheid and draft a new constitution. - Mandela would be elected president of South Africa in 1994. He would launch investigations into human rights abuses during the colonial regime, issue acts of land reform, and meet with international celebrities such as Michael Jackson and the Spice Girls: - Mandela would not seek reelection in 1999, continuing to comment on world affairs and campaign to combat HIV. - Mandela had multiple ailments throughout his later years.

He would be hospitalized multiple times for a recurring lung infection between 2011 and 2013, and ended up dying from it. - Mandela made eight appearances on the DeathList between 1989 and 2013 (including every list from 2009 to his death), and was the tenth hit (of thirteen) of 2013.

Lady Antonia Fraser was to appear at a talk at the Wallace Collection tonight, on the topic of Marie-Antoinette, who she has previously written about. However, the event has been cancelled due to 'sudden illness'. They haven't specified that she is the ill one, but she is now 91. Her intended co-speaker is 59 year old Oxford academic Catriona Seth, who was tweeting this morning, so seems less likely to be the ill one.
