    And how could I forget Drol's favourite Le Duc Anh (1920)?

    Gall was in excellent health last time we got news about him.

    Political Frailty

    Ah, how long do I have to wait to come on this thread and see an African/Asian prime minister/president has died? For example I'd like to see: Do Muoi (1917) Babiker Awadalla (1917) Kim Yong-ju (1920) Prem Tinsulanonda (1920) Thanin Kraivichien (1926) Tun Tin (1920) Nuon Chea (1926) Kenneth Kaunda (1924) Dawda Jawara (1924) Daniel Arap Moi (1924) Girma Wolde-Giorgis (1924) Robert Mugabe (1924) Jiang Zemin (1926) Li Peng (1928) Zhu Rongji (1928) Tulsi Giri (1926) Mohammed Karim Lamrani (1919) Mustafa ben Halim (1921) Hyun Soong-Jong (1919) Hau Pei-tsun (1919) Sibghatullah Mojaddedi (1925) And I could go on. They'll probably be still alive, all of them, in September 2018, or maybe one of them dead, not more. What is their secret?

    Yes, but she never beat Joey Russ in a boxing match.

    The Dead Of 2017

    His last access was on January 11th. I remember him announcing Ralph Stanley's death in June 2016.

    The 12th death of 2017

    Sandy Gall to everyone's surprise. Random.org says Valerie Harper.

    And also Jerry Lewis' cause of death was cardiomyopathy, which is far more accurate than natural causes.

    Cause of death was pneumonia. I hope to see DL updated as soon as they can.

    Jake Lamotta

    No. I think he's dead but his family wants to delay the announcement, a decision they took after his daughter's post on FB. So they denied his death when they received call phone from major newspapers and agencies and will hide it for a few days. But he will end to be a hit for DL this year, sooner or later.

    Wiki has him alive now.

    Four hours and still nothing. I'm thinking it's a hoax. Either this or the family wants to keep it secret and denied to newspapers. Either way this is not a hit for DL till we see an obit. But it's Jake LaMotta, if he was really dead it would have been reported by BBC, Daily Mail, NY Times within minutes. I'm going with a false report.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Well, regarding AODeadpool, an IbTimes obituary in March was not enough to give me points for Dennis Stamp. I think that was just unfair.

    Thoughts On The 2017 List

    Leah may really be near the end. No tweets and posts in a long period. But I have to say DL is having bad luck, not getting even one bedlocker/centenarian with many people near death. Likely hits: Billy Graham: Parkinson's. He's living beyond human possibilities. Denis Norden: macular degeneration and retired many years ago. Herman Wouk: Respiratory issues and very old. Tony Booth: Alzheimer's, COPD, heart failure, stroke. Why still alive, why? Leah Bracknell: Terminal lung cancer, treatment stopped in May. The only real dead cert on the list now. Jake LaMotta: living in a dislexycal nursing home can not be good for your health. Michael: Leukaemia and skin cancer. Whyyyyyyy still aliveeeee? Nobby Styles: Prostate cancer and dementia. Again, why? Jill Gascoine: Advanced Alzheimer's, but not so likely to go, though there's a good chance. 9. DL needs at least five to beat the record. It should be very unlucky to fail this year. But again, it's simply unexplicable how many good or excellent picks are still alive. Not DL fault indeed.

    It took three Alien movies to kill Weaver. Will she get to 110?
