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.

It’s not prostate cancer. It’s a separate issue of concern.

Nope. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68208157

Diagnosed with cancer.

I can't be bothered with this load of Tripe.

Malaurie was so popular in the early 50s and so forgotten now that he reminds me of Charles F. Muntz from Up.

Can someone please fix the title of the thread. Hurts my brain.

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.

I thought Petula Clark's Downtown remix was rotten. I have always thought Last Christmas was a terrible saccharine piece of nonsense. But this, THIS, with the Degrees dancing in a snowglobe to the choon revamped for a house party, is downright terrible. So I thought I'd share it:

She is in good condition for almost 116 (1 day before).

Belgian footballer José Reynaert (Dutch wiki) dead at 102. Now his death itself isn't that interesting (although I'm sure some bored Wiki editor will give him an English page soon), but what I do personally consider interesting about him is he was already a player before WWII and there can't be too many of them left at this point. Especially the ones who played in a country's top division.

Surely even those not well versed in world leaders have to remember the most high profile assassination in recent memory?
