Barbara Walters is on the proposed list and I support that. For someone who was so visible for so long to not have been seen in public (as far as we know) since 2016 says something.

while we are at it: Jimmy Carter is still active (as in hammering) building houses - and Roselynn has no health issues that I know of. Jimmy appears to have fully recovered from his brain and liver and melanoma cancers. 2024 perhaps but not 2023. but ... they do a good job of keeping their private lives private so perhaps keeping them is fine As for Clint Eastwood - while his last film showed major issues and he has been unable to get financial backers for his last attempt, I waffle on him .. but I would put him off for another year

I agree to take Dick van Dyke off the list.

while I agree with that generally, we want a high score on the primary list (one reason I support having secondary lists .. i.e. those that don't make the top 50, with age ranges -- e.g. 90-95, 95-99, >100)

Kissinger just wrote a huge book and I suspect most of the book was really written by him. I'd say wait until some obvious health issue shows, too early for now.

No health issues with Tippi, so unless she get eaten by one of her tigers it's too soon to list her.

Eddie Bernice Johnson (US Congress from Waco, Texas age 87 in December)

Doc Severinsen - age 95, he recently played his last concert. https://universalpreservationhall.org/event/the-last-roundup-doc-severinsen-the-san-miguel-5-presented-by-caffe-lena/

I don't see any news reports on this.

the record for 2021 will last a long time now for sure

I agree, Hatchet man .. vaccination status is very relevant re: the odds of death which is what this forum is about.

I suppose adding Porky Pig to the list is not allowed.

Colin Powell

one of the best music videos ever

He was great.

Agreed, John Lewis is worthy.

Ginger Baker was by far the greatest drummer of all time. He would turn a so-so song into greatness. There are many songs by Cream that, without him, would barely hold their weight. I often will listen to those songs and think "I am so glad Ginger was playing on this, any other drummer would be boring". I am grateful he was still showing his fine skills at the Cream performance at the the Royal Albert Hall (May 2-3-5-6 2005). Watching video clips of that concert are a treat.

Certainly this is death to his campaign.

I can't remember if that is true. On another note: this reminds me of an op-ed on the PBS Newshour last week. There is a concern regarding privacy issues -- in that the movement of your computer mouse may have it's data uploaded and analysed ... and the micro-movements may detect Parkinson's Disease well before the user knows they have it. Insurance companies would be very interested in that data.

I don't recall if we have a list of significant "Bond Girls" (I do know Honor Blackman (aka Pussy Galore from Goldfinger) is on the master list - but if we don't they all could meld into this list. Honor should never be removed from the main list while living. She tops all of the Bond Girls by far.

I would not read the lack of follow-on procedures (e.g. Chemo) as interpreting the opinion that she lacks the health to survive that process. Some medical decisions may be based upon "if we did not catch it all, how long would it take for the resulting cancer to spread and become life threatening" --- if that, in this case, were it five-years, then the patient or the doctors may say "don't be proactive, take the risk". For example, that is one reason once a man reaches the age of something like 70, the check for prostate cancer is often stopped due to if you find it from a routine check, the time it takes to kill you is probably longer than you are expected to live anyway.

One has to be careful. A woman in the US complained about a Judge who had a court ruling against her -- she is now up on charges for threatening him which is a high crime (felony). She also threatened her parole officer. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2017/02/23/charge-woman-threatened-waukesha-county-judge-facebook/98298306/
