I think you are right and also I think the public are increasingly going to be crying out for a variety of news items and not just coronavirus related stuff even if it were bad news like the passing of a celebrity. Coronavirus should take prime position but it's all encompassing nature in news reporting is starting to grate and fatigue many is my sense. So I believe celebrity deaths will increasingly start to again receive more than a basic cursory mention on news bulletins.

American actress Priscilla Pointer, best known to me as the mother of Cliff Barnes in Dallas, turns 96 today! Many happy returns !

Oh I can never remember his name!?

I think Vera Lynn will be one of the definitive deaths of 2020 but not necessarily the next death I'm currently sensing.

Can you feel it too?

It is a hard feeling to fully explain but it's a very real sense that cant be shaken off.

Its certainly a phrase designed for comedy!

Well I did say fairly imminent. A degree of patience is required. I can definitely sense something starting to move and shift on manoeuvre towards the exit! Either a name on this years list or a big name that has previously been on the list like Pope Benedict, Joni Mitchell, Tina Turner, Barbara Walters, James Randi etc or one of the small number of significant names mentioned on here regularly like Glynis Johns or Clarissa Eden who has never ascended to the list. Enemas require a patient outlook.

Maybe....As well as other significant names .Big names that may previously have been on the list....

Nope!Just tried!

I have a strong feeling and sense that something is fairly imminent......

Indeed!

I always slightly panic when this thread has a new post incase my Hollywood favourite Jane Powell has left the earthly orbit!

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52683539 Dame Vera Lynn breaks her own chart record to become the oldest singer to achieve a UK top 40 album aged 103.Obviously recent events have bolstered her popularity and interest in her music across the board.

Delighted to hear that! My thinking cap and enema brew are both hard at work dont worry!

I think you raise some very interesting points. Certainly a potential emotional minefield at times.

Oh my mistake I took it to mean Melissa was genetically related to some of her children but didn't give birth to them which made me think surrogacy of a kind. I was also meaning more especially in relation to her child with David Crosby were articles referred to him as a sperm donor sort of implying that he didn't take the active role of rather and that was the intention.But I see now that I have got my wires crossed on some of this.

Too late!!

Critically acclaimed and much honoured american painter and sculptor Jasper Johns celebrates the milestone birthday of 90 today. Many Happy returns!

Former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright turns 83 today.

I sadly think it is inevitable that this thread will become especially busy as the year progresses.
