Lafaucheuse

C’est vrai ! Tous mes choix intéressants ont été rejetés cependant, je vais devoir partir sur ceux moins originaux et plus résistants

8 rejected from my team… I don’t have any good option left now and feel in a rush… damn

Mohammed ElBaradei please then ! thank you

Desmond gone too-too soon ? He's dead which means 1 point for @Gooseberry Crumble and 3 points for @wannamaker because 2 deaths in 2 days ! Congrats to you both ! I'll add your replacement as soon as I can

Surely Bernadette Chirac and Renaut qualifies ! also maybe Jerry Lee Lewis and Jacques Dutronc

Agree with all of it. September with Belmondo for me though

Doesn’t look good. Doesn’t look awful. Probably a hit in 2022

Ray Illingworth dead on the 25th of December and is a unique pick which means 11 points for @wannamaker ! Congrats that's a huge score : you're taking the lead with 20 points and only 3 deaths so far ! Please choose another one ! we're almost in the end of the month, I'll make a summary on the 1st of January : people who didn't have any hit will have à malus of 1 point ! Good luck !

Because of that damn function which works 1 of 10 times

speaking of Carmen Sevilla, I did'n't follow but I found on multiple articles online that she died on the 11th of October 2020 : hoax right ?

This Joan Gibson ?

Looks 70, as usual, curious to see without the makeup though

Joan Didion, American author dead at 87

How would you feel about permanently dedicating the 50th spot to a notable centenarian just as Tom Moore this year, in order to secure the last year’s tradition of a 50th hit ? I feel like it would be a great way to have at least one centenarian and I love this kind of tradition. Maybe Philippe de Gaulle or James Lovelock for example

Yeah that’s what I thought… he has a Wikipedia page in German though but it doesn’t mean anything right ?! I might give it a try, we’ll see !

Thinking about putting David Bittner to my ao pool (yeah I’m spoiling my pick but I’m just generous so enjoy) : he is an adventurer who is well known for his work with bears such as the new documentary « l’ours en moi » (the bear within me ?). He said in it that he almost died multiples times from bears’ attack. Dunno if he’s famous enough though but worth mentioning I think

Berry Gordy is an interesting pick and I wouldn’t be mad about his inclusion on the list but considering the photos of him at the recent Kennedy Center Award, I wouldn’t put him for the next 2 years at least, he seemed really healthy

J'ai eu plus de chance avec ma liste française que celle internationale cette année, espérons que ce sera le cas aussi en 2022 ! Pour la plupart de ceux que j'ai rajouté cette année, comme Sabine Weiss, Geneviève de Galard, Robbe-Grillet, Michelle Perrot ou Marthe Gauthier, je ne les connaissais pas avant cette année et pensais qu'ils ou elles n'étaient pas suffisamment connus pour apparaitre sur ma liste : qu'en pensez vous ? Quant à BB, c'est chaque année le même dilemme : je pense qu'elle a encore quelques années, ces combats racistes et vains la tienne en vie j'ai l'impression mais je la vois mal arriver à 90 ans. Je l'imagine bien partir comme Jeanne Moreau, juste avant les 90 et c'est une de ses personnalités qui sont "trop importantes pour qu'on les rate" alors par précaution je l'ai mise… Pareil avec Pierre Richard ou Pierre Perret que j'étais à deux doigts d'ajouter mais qui ont été éclipsé par BB, Sempé et Just Fontaine

Wouldn’t be too surprised if Damiano David from Maneskin dies suddenly in his 20´s : doesn’t seem to take much precaution with drugs or alcohol + rock and 27 yo doesn’t make a good combination

cross posting the… wait, we can talk French here ! J'avais oublié de mentionner Catherine Laborde, j'aurais du la mettre sur ma liste…

French miss meteo Catherine Laborde suffers from dementia with Lewy bodies and is said to be in a really bad shape. She has it for years now, I watched this interview last year which broke my heart because she seems so lost and confused. Lewy illness is a mix of Parkinson and Alzheimer apparently (didn't know about that) and she experiences hallucinations, convulsions etc… talked about committing suicide with her husband as a possibility. She's really well known in France but I don't think she is outside of there… Anyway I put it here for anyone who cares !

En effet… Mais malgré le fait qu'il est l'air malade, je pense qu'il a encore un peu de temps. Françoise Hardy (son ex femme) partira avant j'en suis sur. J'ai finalement laissé tomber Bouvard au profit de Martial Solal ou Alain Touraine par exemple, j'espère ne pas avoir fait la mauvaise décision… Quant à Bruno Latour, je ne savais pas du tout ! Je ne l'ai quand même pas mis, je ne le connaissais pas suffisamment… Et JP. Pernaut j'ai hésité mais je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il soit à l'article de la mort !

ma liste (provisoire ?) pour 2022. 25 nouveaux et 25 reconduits. Le choix a été particulièrement difficile cette année…

More on Sabine Andrée : she was born Sabine Eiffling in 1913, this site has an article on her from 1940. They are pretty much up to date on every others actors and actress, some of whom are just unknown but they still manage to get their date of birth or death. It comfort me in my intuition that she is still alive ! anyone care to investigate with me ?

Seems healthier than 2 months ago isn’t it
