You now have your answer with Dame Olivia de Havilland. Is this the first year every month as far as July has had at least one deathlist hit? The enema is not fu****g around folks! Kirk Douglas, Olivia de Havilland , Stirling Moss and Vera Lynn all in the same year! Respect the power of the enema!

This year seems to mark the end of a generation for the List. The committee has to come up with something new next year.

Wow, nearly unbelievable. How different the DL will look next year without Olivia de Havilland and also Kirk Douglas. RIP.

Tbh, I think 2020 is an end of an era in more than one ways, not just for the Deathlist. This year has been nothing like I ever experienced before.

Oh my god.... just OH MY GOD

She was not only a great actress, but her successful lawsuit against Warner Bros made Hollywood a better place to work for actors under the dreadful studio talent contracts system. She was last living megastar of the Golden Age and it always blew my mind she was born during WW I and still survived. Rest in peace to my 13th hit.

Hell of an innings all the same

Dead. Only source so far.

Former german politician and minister Hans-Jochen Vogel died at 94 years: https://www.bild.de/politik/2020/politik/hans-jochen-vogel-tot-frueherer-spd-chef-stirbt-im-alter-von-94-jahren-72071600.bild.html He was also major of Munich and leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

Already reported in the Yank Science Fiction thread but I think he was far bigger than that. John Saxon dead at 83. (or 84 according to Wikipedia) A Nightmare on Elm Street series and Enter the Dragon his most memorable roles. Wiki

That article is from December 2019... It doesn't take a lot of brainpower to check these things before posting.

The Quim Reaper is reaped. Quite why he thought a duel with a combine harvester was a good idea remains a mystery. It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, however - they say that blood is a good fertiliser. All hail The Red Death! The Red Death King! The Red King Death! The King Red Death! King The Red Death!

26 teams didn't give a damn about Olivia de Havilland's ancient age, feeling she was the most indestructible of the 100 Club. But the Reaper felt to each his own, focusing more on the fact this was a centenarian in 2020... Once more I share the lead, but as it stands Reptile would win the tie because he has two hits to my three. =1. Death Impends 15 =1. gcreptile 15 =3. Joey Russ 17 =3. The Old Crem 17 =3.

American?I think not. British.

Jeez. Who knew I would be surprised by a 104 year old dying? I thought she would have a year or two left in her. RIP

There’s another source which was the first source to confirm Nick Cordero’s death, so I’m inclined to believe it.

Bringing this all full circle: Guardian QO for Brian Walker

Learnt everything I know off your mum.

I hope you "welcomed" it.

Far from me to tell you how to run your own dead pool but I shall offer my opinion anyway, for what it’s worth. Why on earth would you award points according to an edit on Wikipedia, without waiting for a credible source (or at the very least a FB or Twitter post)? If I wanted to, I could kill off any of the centenarians you’ve listed on page 1 here from a fresh IP in seconds and make it look like a semi credible edit to the page. It isn’t hard.

In heart warming news, my arse has just given birth to the titanic cable it’s been baking since I had a large can of red bull and half a pound of cheese for lunch. Mother and brown baby are doing well

I've got an inkling that Donald Trump may not outlast next year. I mean, if you've got such a tangerine for a face, then you've gotta have a few chemicals in your body.
