Came across this from April: http://chorleywoodmagazine.co.uk/liftetime-achievement-award-for-jack-smethurst/ There's a pic of Biggins, Smethurst and Cryer there. And I've got two of them on my DDP. Knowing my tendency to pick survivors, Biggins will go before the end of 2015!

Yes, Susannah Jones of the United States (born July 6th, 1899) and Emma Moran of Italy (born November 29th 1899). Who do you think will be the last one standing? I will go with Emma (I am banking on the good Mediterranean diet to see her through). Interesting. It's a battle of bacon and eggs. Jones loves her bacon, Morano slurps down 3 raw eggs a day (and has avoided Listeria successfully). I think Jones will go first for no particular reason other than Morano's doctor seems to think her health is amazing.

Looking at Nick's twitter feed, he was at the theatre a few hours ago, and not the hospital theatre. So I'm guessing he's alive.

Jack Rollins, producer and manager, associated with Woody Allen in particular, 100. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/obituaries/jack-rollins-dies-at-100-sharpened-talent-like-woody-allens.html?_r=0 Couple of DDP teams have him and some may want to update their personal survivors lists. Still awaiting a qualifying obit.

Rick Ducommun, actor in The 'Burbs and Groundhog Day, reportedly died. http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/06/18/comedian-and-scary-movie-actor-rick-ducommun-has-sadly-passed-away-3317757?lt_source=external,manual Now he's been the subject of death hoaxes before, so I'm not taking this as gospel until it's more generally reported, but this is a source. Edit: It's in Variety, I'm taking that as confirmation. His age reported there is 62. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/rick-ducommun-dead-the-burbs-groundhog-day-1201523153/
