That’s What I thought

The thing that baffles me is that they did put « former pope » next to him on the list. So I don’t think they just mistake the popes, in this case they would have just put « pope ». I wonder the odds of them missing his passing and just realising it yesterday. That would explain Why Francis is so high while I was sure they would put him on the lower half

A little in advance for visibility purpose and because I won't think of it at midnight, here is our official french list !

No but 2026 is much too far away. But I’ve said it for 2 months, he’ll reach 2024. And he has (almost) did. Now that I said it, he’ll do a Betty white.

Nadine Trintignant now removed her name of the tribune. Not because she doesn't support Depardieu but because the tribune itself was written by a supporter of Le Pen and Zemmour's (Yannis Ezzaidi) and call it a "huge mistake" stating she always have defended women's right and women's freedom. Carole Bouquet and Yvan Attal now say there are uncomfortable to be linked with this far right journalist.

Those feets are hobbit-like

Nationale tribute to be held by Macron at Les Invalides in early january. Last one was for Helene Carrere d’Encausse this summer.

Former French prime minister, finance minister and director of Foreign Affairs Committee, Edouard Balladur (wiki) will turn 93 on the 2nd of may. Huge figure in France, one of the last of the generation of Mitterand and Pompidou along with Robert Badinter, Jacques Delors and Roland Dumas. Worth his own thread I think. Still quite surprised Delors made the deathlist and not him but it's probably because of Delors' presidency at the European Commission. Anyway, still in pretty good shape according to new photos and videos of him supporting Valérie Pecresse, candidate from right to the 2022 French presidential election :

on the contrary, I can see Russell, Bardot and the Pope being included next year. Rantzen I Absolutely don’t care about but I think they’ll include her since She seems go be A-list in UK

She’s been quite criticized for having signed a tribune against metoo a few years ago, I think she doesn’t want to be involved in any kind of political discussion and wants to avoid taking a public position which is probably a great idea

She'll be safe

Delors' death comes as a timely surprise as I just had 8 hits on my french list this year. So 17 names to take off my list. That was hard as most of them were A-listers, quite frail and really old. Here is a quick recap of those I let go and why so : - Hugues Aufray (b. 1929) : the legendary crooner just got married this summer at 94. Still touring, Think he has some more times even if he was hospitalized a month ago for some broken ribs and dental problems - Anne Aymone-Giscard d'Estaing (b. 1934) : still here and there and seemingly in fine health as one can say by this photo with her daughter… Valérie-Anne Giscard d'Estaing (great imagination for the name) - Pierre Joliot (b. 1932) and Hélène Langevin Joliot (b. 1927) : the nonagenarian Curie's grandchildren and famous scientific both appeared quite healthy those last months, giving interviews and conferences here and there - Judith Magre (b. 1926) : the legendary actress just co-signed Depardieu's support tribune which makes me think she's still up to date and committed. Appeared some months ago in an interview and looked and sounded really fine. One of the most best-looking 97 yo I've seen in a while. - Pierre Nora (b. 1931) : the historian and academician still gives interview, looks and sounds amazingly well here for example. A wasted pick. - Mona Ozouf (b. 1931) : the historian and philosopher just received a prize in Britain and was pictured here, and here in september. Looks frail but not at death's door and still gives interview and everything. Not sure about this one drop though… Those I kept are the frailest of them all : - Anouk Aimée (b. 1932) : the Un Homme, Une Femme, La Dolce Vita and Lola actress is looking particularly frail in this photo from this summer - Yvon Gattaz (b. 1925) : the 98yo businessman is looking rough here. But still able to stand and assist to his foundation prize ceremony - François Cheng (b. 1929) : academician and author who looked almost dead for some years, as you can see from this picture of 2019. Though still giving interview and working apparently. But so did Hélène Carrère d'Encausse… - Geneviève de Gallard-Terraube (b. 1925) : the Angel of Dien Bien Phu is looking extremely frail these days. Maybe it'll give some of you some ideas for a theme team or other lists (Cf. Book…)

You forgot someone I think…
