I will add before I forget that Perhaps takes the lead from Captain Chorizo, becoming a tussle between our last two winners. But we are only halfway. Anything is possible.

Well, getting this out of the way early again. We are reaching the halfway point of the game already, and the relative lack of hits (even though there have been many) can probably be explained by the huge overlap in names who are persistently still living 3 months in! Anything that keeps the workload down... Now, if anyone wants points they think they should have credited because I haven't picked up on a death, do not hesitate to leave a note at the manager's office! So (dons jester's hat and blacksmith's gloves) let's spin that Card Roulette Wheel: Timestamp: 2021-09-29 23:33:18 UTC

Films with entirely dead casts
YoungWillz replied to Spade_Cooley's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Tommy Kirk was the last survivor (according to IMDB) of: The Peacemaker (1956) He was also in Escapade In Florence (1962) with Nino Castelnuovo who also died recently. Two survivors from that film, allegedly - Helen Stirling and Richard Watson. Beverly Washburn appears to be the last survivor of Old Yeller. I've only checked up to the mid-sixties.
