Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life
YoungWillz replied to Davey Jones' Locker's topic in DeathList Forum
Just bringing the master list of famous foriegn actors and actresses forward because I hadn't updated it for a while. I have also (finally!) integrated a lot (but not yet all) of the surviving members of Predictor's October 2013 list into the master one. UPDATE: I have now also integrated CaptainChorizo's list of directors. Nice work. But Vera Gebuhr died in December 2014. Also, Guje Lagerwall was born in 1918, not 1920. She's not likely to get even a local obit, though. She wasn't that much of a star to begin with, and is never mentioned in the media. Her death will probably be noticed solely through her absence in the population database for living Swedes. (I checked a few minutes ago, she's very much alive as of today). Ellen Vogel dead at 93. http://www.volkskrant.nl/media/actrice-ellen-vogel-93-overleden~a4114162/ (Dutch link, google translate has issues with cookie pop ups). -

Former DDP entrant Coleen Gray has died at 92, according to author Tom Weaver. http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/60156/Coleen-Gray?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#.VcAT6UPbLre Couldn't find a film noir thread, so put it here. Was in Kubrick's The Killing, though Listers will probably know more about her. Edit: If you scroll down, David Schecter's post makes reference to 97 year old Marsha Hunt visiting Coleen. Marsha's still going and is on the DDP this year!

Had a dream that I was running a radio station and we had a guest presenter. In wandered Cliff Michelmore who apparently I had booked to do a show. Don't know where that came from. I have the odd premonition, but I don't see me getting a radio station soon. -
