So the oldest (Johns) and the youngest (Draper) of the 2024-DL have already died.

I have magnified the first fifty days to show exactly where we are Earliest third hits are all in February

English actor Barrie Holland, who played Imperial lieutenant Renz, the one who says "rebel scum" in ROTJ, has died aged 85. He also had minor roles in Shining, Elephant Man, Chariots of Fires, Superman I, III and IV, the first three Indiana Jones, A fish called Wanda, 5 James Bond, the 1st Batman…

Probably because most deaths fall into either the Hollywood thread or the voice actors thread or even the British Character Actor thread or cartoonists/animators.

Chomsky or Carter could well change that

Couldn't breath properly, couldn't eat or communicate properly, mass organ failure issues, heart issues and allegedly was showing signs of early on set vascular dementia. Yeah, his quality of life was going to be fucked if he'd lived.

From Lobbygate to Heaven's Gate

A perfectly timed addition - Not added at aged 90 and sitting on the list for the next 10 years in varying positions. No, added at age 100 for the first time and spent 3 days alive on the list. Ideal.

Is it 2024, and is she dead? Yes, and yes. I don't see a problem.

Told today by a reliable source that John Howell (wiki), Tory MP for Henley (since 2008) recently suffered a stroke. 68 and already standing down at the next election but maybe one to watch. Also, Jo Churchill (wiki), Tory MP for St. Edmunds (since 2015) and current Minister for Employment is supposedly on her 3rd bout of cancer.

For all those who said he wasn't famous enough, not only he receive a breaking news notification from the BBC but his death was the second 'headline' story on the 1 o'clock BBC News where he received a video obituary that focused on his political career and not his wife.

French politician Jean-Marie Rausch (Wiki) dead at 94

Sad news considering his young age, but also considering the quality of life he must have had since his illness you do wonder if its a blessing for him and his family.

Günther Fielmann, founder of the Fielmanm glasses retail company, has died at 84: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/wirtschaft/grunder-der-optikerkette-wurde-84-brillenunternehmer-gunther-fielmann-ist-tot-11006278.html The chain is everywhere in Germany.

Not sure why you're picking on Joan Collins. I can think of dozens of people who are far less deserving of their Damehoods.

Marsha Hunt played Bobby Driscoll's mum in The Happy Time (1952). Driscoll died 54 years before Hunt.

If someone like Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson dies this year, it will be pretty easy to displace her as the close.

Not dead, unfortunately Made a rare appearance and spoke at the anniversary of the Cuban Revolution earlier this week. The two other most powerful old guard Cuban leaders José Ramón Machado Ventura (93) and Ramiro Valdés Menéndez (91) were there too.

I mean, I'm legit trying to have a team with 20 hits at some point, so I'm less concerned about the points and more about the number of hits - mind, I still enjoy being higher up in the rankings than the previous year, but I'm also playing against myself in a way

Well… surely the fastest second hit ever right ?

One has to consider that 99 percent of the people born in 1923 are in their graves for a long time, and were more or less skeletons at their 100th birthday. It is amazing that Johns was seemingly wheelchair-bound for about 20 years, judging on some photos of her from 2004. I appeared in a school play of "The Court Jester" around ten years ago, and I googled that the only surviving cast members from the film were Angela Lansbury and Glynis Johns. Lansbury was still very active, while Johns was already in a wheelchair and retired for a long time. And yet, Johns survived Lansbury. And the Deathlist had a perfect timing.

Unless DVD, Julie Andrews, or someone else of similar or greater statute, dies unexpectedly, surely?

A chance to play around and see if I can get this functional while I'm still actively lurking, squash some bugs early.
