The simplest of comedy:

Carl Fischer, former photographer for Esquire magazine who was behind one of their more controversial covers (Muhammad Ali as a martyr) has died, aged 98. Got a NY Times obit, but because that's behind a paywall, here's an alternate obit - from Esquire themselves - https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a43582669/carl-fischer-obituary/

The oldest known man in Bolivia is now Samuel Chuquimia Murillo born on Aug 15, 1916 and the oldest known person in the country is Rosa Cababa Cuasace born on July 25, 1916

The Go fund me has very similar wording to Kate Keltie

Jean Sorel (wiki), french actor who starred as leading role in Belle de Jour along with Catherine Deneuve and Germinal will be 90 next year. Surely famous enough for a qualifying obit right ? From that movie (which I'm justing watching right now), Genevieve Page (wiki) will turn 96 this year and Françoise Fabian (wiki), 90.

let me try: SPAM. yeah the word doesn't work: x.a.n.a.x

Reading on Shecky Greene, impressive he's made it to 97. Sarcoma of the ribs in 1976 that resulted in the removal of three ribs, cancer, hip transplant, throat surgery in the 1990s, manic depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, gambling addiction, severe alcoholism (and atleast one drunken car crash), drug addiction (nardil, SPAM and other benzos), total hip replacement around 2002, leg fracture in 2017 and other stuff. Someone on Facebook says he's still in good spirits.

And the next one. Found dead in a prison cell.

Robert F Kennedy Jr to run against Biden for the Democratic nomination for 2024: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11943819/RFK-Jr-running-PRESIDENT.html

I would say Rupert Murdoch but that'd just be wishful thinking.

Among the female icon from 60’s french-italien cinema we still have : - Brigitte Bardot (b. 1934) - Anouk Aimee (b. 1932) - Sophia Loren (b. 1934) - Claudia Cardinale (b. 1938) - Sandra Milo (b. 1932), which interistingly enough I didn’t find mentionned here despite being Federico Fellini’s muse I feel like I’m missing some… Deneuve would fit but not « old » enough. Among them listed, I feel like one or two could be considered ( Bardot and Loren ?)

John Mills, a former dentist, has been awarded an MBE for founding the charity Vasculitis UK in 2010. He's also terminally ill (of vasculitis I guess), and was too ill to attend the award in London. He was however healthy enough to receive the MBE in his hometown pub: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-derbyshire-64341107

Many major Hollywood male film actors in the line-up for their debut on next year’s DL Jack Nicholson (overweight, rumoured dementia and no public appearances in almost two years) Michael Caine (cannot walk unaided, in his 90s and visibly frail) James Earl Jones (overweight and over 90, type 2 diabetes, rarely seen in public now) Gene Hackman (not at death’s door yet but a real Committee kind of pick and frail even if he can still drive) Clint Eastwood (another real Committee kind of pick and his age is starting to catch up with him) And Dick Van Dyke will be back, not sure about Robert Wagner and Duvall though.

Bernadette Chirac was recently talked about on radio by a long-time friend of hers, the journalist Patrick de Carolis who stated : "I've heard from her but... there you go... she's a person who's withdrawn from society, and I'll be discreet about it". Supposed to celebrate her 90 bd in mid-may. I'm almost certain she won't make it. Or that she'll die just after.

Michael Parkinson should be up there. He is 89 next year and based on a recent TV interview he doesn't look well.
