Perhaps you were just slightly off target with the date and type of person and your hunch was more in the direction of a big figure in the world of music and song- eg world famous songwriter Burt Bacharach? A second 'hit' for the committee in less than a week.

Very apt that the first 'hit' for the official DeathList was a former head of state. Looking like my intuitive feelings were on the right path. I do believe the committee will have a third success in February.

Sticking with Joanne Woodward

Let's not forget that Burt Bacharach is Angies ex husband and the father of her only child daughter Nikki, who committed suicide in 2007. I don't know if post divorce they had a close or acrimonious relationship but there is a good chance his death could have a significant emotional impact on her.

Thanks! Great photo I appreciate!

I chose Joanne Woodward.

Just spotted that the photo for my pick William Gage (judge) has come up with no photo just the word licensed in a picture? Not sure what that is about unless whatever photo was chosen to be uploaded had copyright issues? Anyway not sure how to resolve that? I hate the thought of one of my picks being one of the very few without a photo! I spotted that Jill Forster one of my picks is one of the few F names without a photo so if needed hope this helps !

Single and probably quite busy diligently checking the quality of mattresses and whether showers are environmentally friendly enough to fit two in I'm sure...!

Mr Armani is not adverse to a bit of that too I'm sure! Maybe amour with men in their twenties is a route I need to consider going down....
