    I am surprised and disappointed that I did not have her on my personnel list :(

    Indeed i didn't like G.W. as president (if i was american i'd be a democrat) but i could kinda respect him unlike the republican presidents who came after him and his wife was the best bush of the lot!

    Living a long life is great, providing that you can sustain a decent standard of life. I'd rather be built like a brick shithouse till the very end and die in my sleep. Or during an orgy or something, rather than lingering on like that poor, frail-looking woman.

    From an unknown a week ago to one of the names heating up the DL pages, (Ret.) Bishop David Foley is a couple photos from March 27, as he was on his way to a retirement home for priests.
    No way of knowing before or after, but the order of the tweeted pix would make the first photo a 'before'.  He's aware and acknowledging people around him.
    In the second photo, presumably less than an hour later, Bishop Foley (bald head on the far left, miter musta fell off) can't seem to hold his head up.  Is he silently praying while everyone else in the photo isn't?  Catholics do everything together....kneel, stand, etc.  So I suggest he's having a go at a quick nap.  Maybe after 90 years or whatever talk of God bores him.  Maybe he is physically unable to do the simple task of staying alert, awake, and on task with the arduous chore of keeping his head aloft.  You decide.

    Great choice of person for a thread by the way :)

     

    If you Google it I think Michael Caine has said in the past six months or so that he's starting to feel more awareness of his mortality. I think he said something like he's got five good years maximum left in him by his reckoning. 

    yes, I read that half a year ago, he said "my days are numbered and I am fully aware that time will come soon ..." Well, such a sentence is not really uncommon for a mid 80's, but maybe there is a deeper meaning behind it, who knows. ...?

    He was superb in The Cider House rules in which he costarred alongside  Tobey Maguire  in around 1999. 

       If memory serves me right he won an Oscar for it?

    Obviously deathlisty, yet, I think he never achieved to have a role he was perfect for - a role, he really disappeared in. To me, he's always been "Michael Caine playing XYZ"... never... "THE Lawrence of Arabia", "Scarlett O'Hara", or the like...

    well, for my taste its better if an actor is not reduced to a certain role for all time. It is just extraordinary that someone like Michael Caine remains active in the film business for decades with various Blockbusters and roles such as Batman Trilogy, Prestige, Interstellar, Inception ... I mean these are all films that belong to the top 100 in film history.

    He is one of the most successful British actors of all time, two-time Oscar winner and was knighted by the Queen in 2000. Sir Michael Caine, has achieved everything in his over 60-year film career.

    Reason enough today, on his 85th birthday, to dedicate him his own thread on this page. Happy Birthday, Sir Michael Caine :birthday:

    This is the first time I create a new topic. But I think, such an important opera, cinema and film producer like Franco Zeffirelli really deserves his own thread.
    A few days ago he turned 95 years old.

    He is best known for his work in
    Romeo and Juliet (1968: won 2 Oscars),
    Hamlet (1990 nominated for 2 Oscars with Mel Gibson and Glenn Close)
    The Taming of the Shrew (1967 nominated for 2 Oscars with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton),
    Jesus of Nazareth (1977 with Robert Powell, Christopher Plummer and Anne Bancroft)
    La Traviata (1982 nominated for 2 Oscars)
    Othello (1986 nominated for 1 Oscar)

    In 1972, for moral reasons, he refused to work as director for The Godfather. Francis Ford Coppola then got this job.
    Only four weeks ago in January 2018 his son declared that his father is too ill.
    He's on my personal list for the first time this year.  But he would certainly be a possible candidate for the official Deathlist 2019.
