    Not the most unexpected of deaths in DL history lets be frank.

     

    It is actually quite unexpected, sure he would go at some point this year, but I'm sure nobody expected him to be the 3rd hit considering the situation Zsa Zsa is in..

     

     

    Everybody expects Zsa Zsa to make it to December, you'll understand in a year or two when the Prinz is still keeping her life support on..

     

     

    I'm not convinced. Zsa Zsa obviously has reached the end of her life, even if she enjoys a kind of cult status for some of us, she`s finally only a human being in a pitiful health-state.

    As said in every year: some of them are on a global perspective too insignificant and not spectacular enough, too much UK-heavy. Would be great thinking more globally.

    I like some new good choices like Boutros Boutros Ghali, Jacques Chirac, Jimmy Carter.

    My suggestion is to add these two:

     

    - Danielle Darrieux - a famous a v prolific French actress, and one of the wives of the legendary Porfirio Rubirosa! She will be 99.

     

    - Michele Morgan - another amazing French actress. Age 96.

     

    solid choice. But propably the DL-committe will not consider both and instead select any unknown british tv presenter like cliff michelmore etc.
