German Ex-President Richard von Weiszäcker dies at 94. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31073517

In good time before January ends, I can proudly announce my first correct prediction the former German president (1984-1994) Richard von Weiszäcker died today in Berlin. He was 94 years old. My personnel Goal in 2015 is to land at least 12 matches (one hit every month or every fourth one off my list this year 12/50 minimum)

So, it's his fault the care system is overloaded with the elderly in 2015, then. Without him more public servants would have had a pay rise this year. Do you mean that seriously or is it Satire? I'm assuming you mean that seriously. In this point of view your Statement is just tasteless and disgusting

Interesting Video about an interesting person. Sir Nicholas Winton saved 669 Jewish prisoners from certain death in a concentration camp. Many of those rescued were at that time even more children and adolescents. For decades Winton lived a life of discretion and confidentiality, up to this special day he was invited and surprised from BBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nFuJAF5F0 This man has saved nearly 700 people from the worst fate of the earth. This in itself is impressive enough. But almost touching the restrained and modest species, which he has retained.

Good picks. Unfortunetely Charles Townes died few days ago, Maybe you can substitute him with I.M. Pei. He`s regarded as the most important living architect worldwide. Would also be an option for DL 2016 and in some respects an equivalent successor for Oscar Niemeyer (DL candidate died 2013).

For this year I have comitted myself to Jack Steinberger + Edmond Fischer. Both are included in my DL and they have health issues too. obviously to take a look of them

Mr. Blues "Pino Daniele" is dead: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/05/us-people-italy-daniele-idUSKBN0KE0SN20150105 Only last Month italy has lost a big musician with "Mango". he also died of a heart attack.

Philip-Seymour Hoffmann, he was the best Actor in his Generation. a great loss... RIP Phil.

Amazing....Roundabout 50% (24 from 50) from my personal DL were taken into the official DL 2015. Let's see if this will be a good reference

For my opinion the DL 2015 is to UK-heavy, but thats almost every year so. would be good to remove the Britain-glasses in future and think more international. nevertheless there are some very good choices like Jim Roberts, Helmut Kohl, Leo Nimoy and John Nash. Zsa Zsa for No. 1 is very merit. Can someone explain to me, cause Sir Nicolas Winton (106 years) is not included? I mean, he`s a britain, too

Congratulation Zsa Zsa, you`re the Numer One!!!

First of all, Thanks a lot for your Feedbacks. After this I optimized and revised my DL 2015. Unfortunetaly Luise Rainer died matter of days too early. In spite of some consideration, Betty White will remain in my list...maybe she will be good for a surprise in 2015. So now this my final DL 2015: 1. Zsa Zsa Gabor (Actor) 2. Artur Fischer (Inventor) 3. Walter Scheel (Politician) 4. Ellen Dow (Actor) 5. Valerie Giscard Destaing (Politician) 6. B.B. King (Musician) 7. Stanley Donen (Film Director) 8. Betty White (Golden Girl) 9. Shimon Peres (Politician) 10 Billy Graham (Evangelist) 11 Sam Simon (Simpsons) 12 Boutros Boutros Ghali (Politician) 13 Prince Philip (Husband of Queen Elizabeth) 14 Charles Aznavour (Musician) 15 Richard von Weiszäcker (Politician) 16 Christopher Lee (Actor) 17 Pierre Cardin (Fashion designer) 18 Al Molinaro (Actor) 19 Patrick McKnee (Actor) 20 David Rockefeller (Multi-Billionair and Philantropist) 21 Olivia De Havilland (Actor) 22 Dennis Healey (Politician) 23 Sir Nicholas Winton ("British Schindler") 24 Doris Day (Actor) 25 Nancy Reagan (First Lady) 26 Edmond Henri Fischer (Nobel Price winning Medicine) 27 Muhammad Ali (Boxer) 28 Conny Sawyer (Actor) 29 Michele Morgan (Actor) 30 Fidel Castro (Politician) 31 Max Kruse (Author) 32 Mary Carlisle (Actor) 33 Patricia Morison (Actor) 34 Herman Wouk (Author) 35 Vera Lynn (Musician) 36 George Bush sen.

Hey Shaun of the Dead, your list contains an interesting mix of personalities. I like for example Herman Wouk, Al Molinaro and Maureen O`Hara. Some picks like Anthony Booth is unknown for me. But its clear, that the selection of DL-candidates and her name recognition also depends on from which country you're from. I live in Germany and I do not know in detail various domestic personalities from other countries. Whatever....I wish you good Luck with your picks. And dont Forget to Substitute Luise Rainer

Joe Cocker is dead. this makes me really sad

Sir Nicholas Winton would be a very good pick for next years DL. He`s called "The british Schindler" who organized the rescue of roundabout 700 jewish childrens from Nazis-occupy. Sir Winton is actually 105 years old, for my opinion a must-have in every DL.

Christopher Lee

7th hit for me too

Yes, but not for me. Fifth Strike this year, one more than DLC yeahhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, 4th hit on my DL. I`m coming......

My third strike....better than DL....yeahhh!

I think, it`s time now for Christopher Lee....

First hit...for me too

I`m really very sad. In my opinion, one of the best actors in Hollywood. Unforgettable his role as Allen in "Happiness" or in masterpiece "Truman Capote" R.I.P. from Germany

Hey guys, I wanna wish one of my favourites Muhammad Ali "happy Birthday" for his 72. greets TomTom
