Lafaucheuse

You may read too much into this, funeral and post mortem rituals for such big figure are planned since their accession to the throne (ie. QEII). But I agree that he should be on the list next year and that he is nearing the end

Usual in memoriam picture for 2023 nevermind didn’t see it was already posted

oh my ! didn't even think it was still possible ! not even a personal pick but I thought she was an interesting one

what happened with Mbappe, did I miss something

Don’t be impatient ! I’ll start the In Memorial Award for 2024 thread in some days, entries will open in january

Mourners dance to fairytale in New York at his funera

Not putting Tina Turner in may is insane to me

She does look a little frail on the official Coronation portrait, being held by Edward and the duchess of Edinburgh

He sounds and looks 10-15 years younger, impresive

will run for presidency a fifth time

I already consider Chomsky a stupid ommission. As for James Whale. If one of them die this year, they would have been a miss. Like Kaczyinski. The other 3 were not misses for me. Sandra Day O Connor was also a miss : should and could have been on the list several times considering her age, fame and illness. Comparable to Nichelle Nichols back in 2022.

Has someone ever considered ranking the candidates in term of notability ? Would love that

Newhart again. Feels like he should already be dead…

Still sure Carter will make it 2024. I can see another hit like Woodward or Baxter but I doubt we will equal 2020…

Went for Newhart again

well, ccongrats !! new round opened

Oh!!! well…. That’s another one for Jimmy Carter another hit today ? 2017 record broken

I’m late this year. Though I found a prominent argentinian nonagenarian Who recently suffered a stroke. Maybe a good shout ? Will take the risk of putting some french names even though I fear some of them won’t obit…

my mistake, I dont know why but I forgot to put you on the McGowan hit… fixed that ! Also @Insane you had 3 subs to choose and not two, can you give me another name please ?

I do agree She looks frail on the picture Where She is walking

Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn may deserve more consideration

anyone know the life expectancy for such an illness as such a young age ?

Becton off ! Julius Wesley Becton Jr. is a solo hit for @tracy : Peter Cellier in and Newhart as new sub 3. One point, congrats ! -------------------------------- Kiss him goodbye ! Henry Kissinger is a hit for bibliogryphon, Book, CalebH, Commtech Sio Bibble, Great Uncle Bulgaria, insane, ladyfiona, lilham, ThereWillBeDeaths7 and a miss for @ajlposh @Bibliogryphon : Eileen Derbyshire in and Peter Greenaway on the sub list @Book : Linda Nolan in Ryan Minor as new sub @CalebH : Frank Field in and Biljana Plavšić as sub 3 @Commtech Sio Bibble : Richard Franlin in and Kenneth Cope as sub 3 @Great Uncle Bulgaria : Sherill Milnes in and Ove Fundin as sub 3 @Insane : Dikembe Mutombo in and another sub to choose ! @ladyfiona : Simon Cowell in and Esther Rantzen as new sub @lilham : Duane Keefe D Davis in and Bruce Willis as new sub @ThereWillBeDeaths7 : Edward of Kent in and Julie Walters on the sub bench @wannamaker : Toby Keith in Roger Donlon on the sub list -------------------------------- Pogues poked ! Mc Gowan is a hit for Book, Captain Chorizo, diego, gcreptile, great uncle bulgaria, insane, JoeMoneyPenny, khthonia, ladyfiona, perhaps and WEP : one point for each and everyone of you ! Unfortunately, you guys chose Shane way too late (unlike Jimmy Carter) : lilham, theoldlady, ThereWillBeDeaths7, Toast. You all provided new subs, we're all good here, thanks @Book : Shannen Doherty in and Chomsky on the sub bench @CaptainChorizo : Violetta Chamorro in and Ryan Minor as sub 3 @diego : Dick Van Dyke in and Bob Newhart as new sub @gcreptile : Graham Caveney in and another sub too choose ! @Great Uncle Bulgaria : Jean Hindmarsh in and terry paine as sub 2 but you still have one sub to choose as it seems you previously picked McGowan as a sub but he was already on your list… my mistake for not pointing that myself in the first place, sorry ! @Insane : Ion Illiescu in and another 2nd sub to choose ! @JoeMoneypenny : Imelda Marcos in and another sub to choose @Khthonia : Ethel Kennedy in and Clint Eastwood waiting for his turn @ladyfiona : Tom Baker in and Noam Chomsky as sub 3 @Perhaps : Frank Bowling and Noam Chomsky too on the sub bench @Summer in Transylvania : David Graham in and Antero Laukkanen as new sub @WEP : Dolph Lundren in and Elma Avraham on the sub list -------------------------------- No days left for O'Connor ! Sandra Day O'Connor is a hit for ajlposh, insane, lilham and Sean : congrats, one point each ! @ajlposh : Britney Spears in and Ron Jeremy in the sub bench ! @Insane : Valentin Ceausescu in and 3rd sub to choose then @lilham : Krayzie Bone in and another sub needed please ! @Sean : Ted Turner in and Chomsky waiting for his turn a lot of first point these days (Book, bibliogryphon, CalebH and Sean) and a remarkable debut for Insane with trifecta which allows you to jump straight on the third position tying with a few others ! CaptainChorizo jumps at second place, just behind perhaps on top position ! I'd really appreciate it if you could take one minute to look at your teams on front page and tell me if I didn't make any mistake while reorganizing all of that !

Be prepared to be slaughtered french enthousiast !! something weird is that Philippe de Gaulle is somehow mentioned a lot around here and as much as I think he’ll get qo in UK, there are more famous french names to consider. I can see Bardot and Delon being included just for their age and famousness but I don’t think Françoise Hardy is the Kind of picks that interests the committee. And as much as I’d like to see Bernie Chirac being in, I know very well this is a lost cause. Too bad, her recent biopic and the major role she played in France politic at the Time (considered to be the french Jackie Kennedy by many) could very well play in her favor On another note, I do not think Bardot is less known than Delon outside France, BB is probably at the Same level as Catherine Deneuve.
