Dead aged 85. Obituaries: Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Guardian, Daily Mirror, The Sun, BBC

James Cayne, investor and former CEO of Bear Stearns, has died aged 87.

Keri Hulme, New Zealand author and Booker Prize Winner in 1985 with The Bone People, had died aged 74. Obituaries: The Guardian, The Independent

Gary Beikirch, Vietnam veteran and Medal of Honour recipient, has died aged 74.

Sarah Weddington, attorney for Norma McCorvey in Roe v. Wade, dead aged 76.

There was no Instagram footage of her. I said both her children’s instagrams didn’t feature anything of her. I don’t think that is her in the picture, although if it is that’s not to say it was taken yesterday.

Weirder and weirder, Ian McNabb saying she is dead as of 20 minutes ago. Edit: He’s now deleted it, but I think killing her off twice is a bit excessive.

Janice’s son and daughter seem to be having a pretty standard Christmas by the look of their Instagrams. Janice wasn’t visible in any of the photos/videos but it really didn’t look like a family who had just lost their mother - all jokes and smiles. May well be putting on a brave face but I don’t see why they’d bother - surely you just wouldn’t post?

Dead aged 89. Time to scratch him off your shortlists. Obituaries: The Sun, BBC, The Guardian, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, Daily Star p.s. a very Happy Christmas to you all

Shows delayed again - seems to have been a rough bout of pneumonia with it taking 4 months to recover.

Not a Winter Olympian but thought this was still the most appropriate thread - Reinier Paping, Dutch speed skater and winner of Elfstedentocht 1963, has died aged 90.

Pinocchio Patricia Page - she performed 'I've Got No Strings' as a marionette along with Mae Questel and Mel Blanc, with Dickie Jones as Pinocchio. Also appeared in 1952 British crime film Hammer the Toff. I've never seen Hammer the Toff, but it may be possible to estimate an age from her in that which could help discern if she is likely to be living today. Fantasia Corey Burton b. 1955 (narrated the 2000 and 2010 re-releases). Hugh Douglas b. 1944 (narrated the 1982 re-release). Tim Matheson b. 1947 (narrated the 1985 re-release). Dumbo Harold Manley - sole acting credit, no further information available. Tony Neil - also appeared in American film released 1940 based on the sequel to Little Women, Little Men. Would have been around schoolboy age in that film so must've been born c. late 1920s/early 1930s. Billy Sheets - sole acting credit, no further information available. Credited as one of the clowns, so perhaps older when Dumbo was released in 1941 and therefore perhaps likely deceased. Bambi Stan Alexander - I understand to be this person (active on Facebook in March 2020). Peter Behn b.1934 - did media appearances as late as 2017 and appeared in documentaries for the making of Bambi in the 90s. Janet Chapman b. 1932 - appeared in films from 1938 to 1946 as a child actress, discussion on a forum here with claims she married a Walter Soule and seemingly alive as of 2017. Jeanne Christy - sole acting credit, no further information available. Dolyn Bramston Cook - sole acting credit, no further information available. Donnie Dunagan b. 1934 - appeared in films from 1938, with Bambi being his final in 1942. As the voice of Bambi his death may actually be reported on. Babs Nelson - appeared in films from 1936, with Bambi being her final in 1942. Report of a death of a Babs Nelson here - this lady was born approx 1928 and so the age would tie in with other film credits, also attended Julliard so could plausibly be her. Sandra Lee Richards - appeared in films from 1939 to 1952, credited as a 'young girl' in The Great Victor Herbert so likely born early-mid 1930s. Francesca Santoro b. 1933 - appeared in films from 1940 to 1942, including The Great Dictator. She did an interview on working with Charlie Chaplin here in 2015, which gave further information as to her life since acting. I understand her to be this lady, active on Twitter as recent as December 2021. Bobby Stewart - sole acting credit, no further information available. For the vast majority of these they will either already be deceased or will die off the radar, but this covers the first 4 Disney films with voice actors listed as living on IMDb.

Ron Anderson, vocal coach to stars including Ozzy Osbourne, Lenny Kravitz, Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others, has died aged 75.

Carlos Marin of Il Divo dead aged 53. Obituaries: Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, The Sun, Metro, BBC

There’s a similar list that I compiled working from the earliest Disney films here - I’m sure some on my list must now be deceased but think with no dates of birth and 1 film credit it may be near impossible to confirm.
