Why does the list say 81 ? Wasn’t he 79 ?

A few people who are turning 89-90-91 this year and who are scarcely mentioned here : • Kim Novac (b. 1933) : hitchock legend • Ornella Vanoni (b.1934) : italian singer • Clive Davis (b. 1932) : producer • Jane Goodall (b. 1932) : gorilla's friend • Carol Burnett (b. 1933) : actress and comedian • Dame Edna (b. 1934) : drag queen • John Williams (b. 1932) : composer • Rita Moreno (b. 1931) : actress legend • Nadine de Rotschild (b. 1932) : socialite • Costa Gavras (b. 1933) : screenwriter and director • Claude Zidi (b. 1934) : screenwriter and director • Nadine Trintignant (b. 1934) : screenwriter and director • Jean Paul Rappeneau (b. 1932) : screenwriter and director I think they would be famous enough to be included into the official list (or at least your personal one). Ion Illiescu (b.1930) and John Stafford (b. 1930) are not mentioned enough here also.

while sorting names for my longlist of names and googling their name, I just discovered that one of my "maybe" picks has died yesterday : Louis Velle, dead at 96 years old. He was one of the oldest french (hello Ullitzer) actors. He was married to another of my "maybe" picks, Frederique Hebrard (b. 1927), actress and author (probably more famous than him).

damn ! I thought he would be a big death outside of the US. I guess he's really a US-centric celeb

won't Barker score a UK obit when he goes ?

I am Marine ! no but the real thing is When you’re on a foreign site such as this one, it’s hard to be accostumed with another culture and way of Life and you have this kind of proudness for your own country and culture that you want to share. Not to talk about the fact that you’re the most able to relay your own countrie’s News and deaths

Oh I’m not nationalist at all

1) 1500 words is nothing. 2) if you don’t know Paco Rabanne, you must have lived under a rock for the past 50 years. If you do know him, then you can check facts on him on internet. It takes 5 min. 3) I don’t think I mentioned France every post as you say. And even if it’s the case, then what ? Still bitter about the hundred’s year war ? My french superpower would say to you « va te faire cuire un œuf »

Yes.

Qualifying obits appeared quite early in France, breaking New from Le Monde at around 1pm so I would say you’re late ?

Valentino seems like a deathlisty name too

After the deaths of Westwood, Kenzo Takada, Thierry Mugler or Nino Cerruti in the last few years the designers from the 60’s-70’s are few. Mary Quant, Giorgio Armany, Ralph Lauren or Valentino next ? Quite surprised to find out that Valentino is turning 91 this year btw

Paco Rabanne dead at 88 !

Interesting, I may well make the Same thing ! But then, you have to 1) remember every candidate in the list 2) open the deathlist site and not the forum first everytime you’re coming here 3) not see the first couple of picks of the list, something impossible When I open the list with my laptop fe, I can see the top 5 till the bottom of my screen

Barbara Eden looking good/photoshopping in this new picture

yes that's what I thought. I mean 22 is old for a dog but it doesn't ring a bell to me as "groundbreaking". I'm sure I already heard someone around me telling me his/her dog was 18-19 or something like that.

what I wonder is how can one be sure that there is no other unknown older dogs ? similarly to oldest people by the way

Philippe Tesson, french journalist dead at 94. Breaking News here, he founded the « Quotidien de Paris » and worked for the most famous journals of the XXth century.

actually watching La Piscine with Alain Delon and Romy Schneider for the first time, I discovered a few cast members still alive (in addition to the obvious Alain Delon and Jane Birkin who, as mentioned elsewhere, had a stroke one or two years ago) : • Paul Laffargue (b. 1925) : decorator • Jean Emmanuel Conil (b. 1929) : scripwriter • Alan Bergman (b. 1925) : musician • Maddly Bamy (b. 1943) : actress • Jean Marie Perrier (b. 1942) : photographer

Considering she tweeted 10 hours ago, I would call it a hoax

Yes I’m sorry, I try my best but sometimes I let one or two mistakes go by…

Iconic lebanese singer and actress Fairuz turns 89 this year. One to Watch.

There is a group for oldest olympians ? What do they do apart from reporting every death ? A very restrictive topic indeed

I think Maneskin singer Damiano David won’t live 10 years more. Based on this photo and all the drugs and alcohol he takes https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDSCzDqElL/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

French resistant fighter Jacques Bloch has died aged 98.
