Jean Malaurie dead at 101. 2nd hit. Obit to come

Seriously, 50+ facepalm notifications sat in your inbox and this is the one you throw a fit at?

Edie Ceccarelli has now turned 116. This is the first 116th birthday in the USA since Susannah Mushatt Jones (1899-2016) in 2015.

Ian Lavender has died aged 77. He was the last surviving cast member of Dad’s Army. Obituaries: Daily Mirror, BBC, Daily Telegraph

Monday afternoon fight over absolutely nothing between two long term users. Standard DeathList Forums.

I've added an umlaut above the 'o'. Hope that helps?

I think the only four actors left who appeared in more than one episode, playing the same character more than once, are Dowdeswell, Jimmy Perry's widow Gilda Perry (who played Doreen the waitress), and Michael Knowles and Linda James (Captain Cutts and Betty), who are a married couple irl.

Won her 11th Grammy: Verrry slow on her feet, but I suppose the main thing is that she wasn't wheeled out. She seems in good spirits and her speaking voice sounds strong.

They are all worth watching. If only for the different 39 Steps they use!

Mark had a check for cancer as he was having symptoms, can confirm he is still cancer free

Superb in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Michael Jayston reportedly dead:

Just been here, south of the south. The waves are fierce.

I wonder if it might be Rectal cancer by the fact they don’t say what it is yet obviously is near the prostate to be found.

Diagnosed with cancer.

Pretty good but a very rushed ending. Not surprising that only one adult star remains from the 1959 film as only Robert Powell and Timothy West appear to be alive from the 1978 version.

Well, without inquiring how you got your inside knowledge, it's good to know to keep an eye on this.

One actor/actress that seems to stay under the radar is Taina Elg who is now 93. She starred with Kenneth More in 1959 in The 39 Steps. More died way back in 1982 but his last (& third) wife, actress Angela Douglas is only 83 now. She was widowed again in 2022.

Picked by a 1922 theme team, so one to watch for a DDP QO.

Following the death of Michael Jayston the list of classic Doctor Who serials with no surviving guest actors is up to 6. With those being An Unearthly Child, Planet of the Giants, The Rescue, The Power of the Daleks, The Deadly Assassin and The Ultimate Foe. (You could technically include the Edge of Destruction but it had no guest cast to begin with so I don't think it counts). An Unearthly Child & Planet of Giants have 2 regulars - Russell and Ford The Rescue is just Russell and O'Brien Power and Assassin both just have 1 surviving cast member being Anneke Wills and Tom Baker respectivly and now The Ultimate Foe has Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford.

Caroline Dowdeswell, who played bank assistant Janet King in the first series is still around, I believe.

Cynthia Garrison, who performed with the Three Degrees from 1989 to 2010, reportedly dead: https://www.soultracks.com/story-cynthia-garrison-three-degrees-dies Afaik, she was on one UK charting single, reaching #54 in 1998 with a dance cover of Last Christmas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Degrees

Of course he's trolling.
