For me Helmut Kohl. 16 years leader of Germany including reunification and co-founder of the united Europe incl. common EURO. I think this live performance is more significant compared to someone like Hefner who presented us "only" naked bunnys on the cover of the playboy.

Well, instead of Christie or Downie the committee could alternatively pick really famous people like Helmut Kohl or Chuck Berry, right? I had neither downie, nor christie or bracknell on my list, no matter how death-cert they are, if these people are not representative enough on a worldwide perspective and I never heard of them outside this page, why should I include them on the list? but of course everyone has the free choice to make their own decision, the committee too..... Wish all of you a happy and healthy Christmas

Valerie Harper

wow, hereby I`ve broken my personal record. 17th hit this year. R.I.P. to King Michael. he had a long and hopefully fulfilling life.

He is dead: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42225574

I think the suggestions are not so bad. but I also agree that these are probably not deathlisty enough, beside of Ecclestone oder Prince Henrik. Klaus von Donhany is in my opinion one of the best known and smartest politicians in Germany. He was Mayor of Hamburg and Minister of Education. But his reputation in the UK or USA is probably as high as that of a Gord Downie or Erroll Christie in Germany

Update after death of Charles Manson and Toto Riina. Have replaced them with US-Actress and Singer Nanette Fabray and David Cassidy. Hope that Cassidy will still hold until Year-end.

January: John Hurt February: Bill Paxton March: Chuck Berry April: Don Rickles May: Roger Moore June: Helmut Kohl July: Chester Bennington August: Jerry Lewis September Jake LaMotta October: Fats Domino November: Malcolm Young (he is more relevant than the shabby wretch C. Manson)

why not? He is the greatest Baritone of this era and DL-commitee should normally know that too.

Keep: 1. Billy Graham 2. Jimmy Carter 3. Robert Mugabe 4. Olivia De Havilland 5. George Bush sr. 6. Jill Gascoine 7. King Michael of Romania 8. Nobby Stiles 9. Kirk Douglas 10. Vera Lynn 11.

Javier Perez 23. Emperor Akihito 24. Leslie Philips 25. Betty White New/Bring Back: 26. Tony Bennett 27. Stephen Hawking 28. Jaques Chriac 29. Dmitri Hvrostovsky 30. Joseph Jackson 31. Carol Channing 32. Salvatore Riina 33. Pierre Cardin 34. Sidney Poitier 35. Doris Day 36. James Randi 37. Dick van Dyke 38. Harry Belafonte 39. Charlotte Rae 40. Fernando Ricksen 41. Charles Aznavour 42. Stefan Karl Stefansson 43. Olivia Newton John 44. Charles Manson 45. John McCain 46. Johnny Hallyday 47. Carl Reiner 48. Stephan Hillenbourg 49. Prunella Scales 50. Jerry Maren Probabably we will have two more deads until yearend. In this case comittee could still consider I.M. Pei and Valery Giscard Destaing.

If we really need a centenarian, in my view I.M. Pei would be a better pick. no idea why the committee refuse to consider him. although a few years ago, the committee with Oscar Niemeyer had also a 106-year-old comparable architect on the list.

I think on the last pic right side, Michael wants to kiss the granny on the mouth as well?
