for me he's a goner this year. He's gone down quite quickly since 2022 and I agree with Daredevil, he may be a late hit in the second half of the year. The fact that his journal de bords are now weekly just makes me think that they want to enjoy him the more they can because they might think he has not much time left

Nº689. Should we start a sweepstake on how many more he can complete before passing ?

The latest first hit is 20th of march 2004 : queen Juliana then 7th of march 2007 : Ernest Gallo 5th of march 2003 : Hardy Amies 27th of february 2015 : Léonard Nimoy 23rd of february 2002 : Chuck Jones 12th of february 2014 : sid caesar 4th of february 2005 : Max Schmeling will 2023 break the record of the latest 1st hit of the XXIth century ? i don’t think so, there is still a long way to go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t have a february hit

this one ? she looks fine indeed. Could have been dropped

Adrien Quatennens now excluded from left wing party. He was just "suspended" until now. His come back to the Assemblée Nationale has been vividly criticized by almost everyone. I doubt he's under suicide risk right now but if he gets excluded from the La France Insoumise Party, he could be someone to watch.

Claude Zidi (b. 1934), french film director and screenwriter is still alive at 88. I thought he died years ago but that's probably because I'm mistaking him with Gérard Oury (1919-2006), another legendary film director of 70-80's french comedies. Zidi is a DDP pick this year.

Danseur étoile from the Opéra de Paris Attilio Labis dead at 85

A new video about Catherine Laborde, perenial pick for french teams here, suffering from body lewy dementia since 2016 or more. She doesn’t look bad but states that she is not doing well, you can tell by the way her eyes move that she’s completely lost. Can see her surviving the year though but at What coast ? She’s disminished and this thing seems just horryfiyng https://fb.watch/iiINxevgBl/

Who is the other one ? Did I miss something

Jeremy Renner update : he was injured trying to rescue his nephew Who would have been crushed by the snow machine. Reminds me of Naya Rivera. Why did they keep rescuying their kids ?

On another note, he said that homosexuality is not a crime but a sin. A little step for men… a little step for humanity

Andress deserves consideration TOO but imo Loren is a legend, the last one of a very small group (Hepburn, Baccall, Bergman, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor etc…). Plus, she’s the last living inclusion of the AFI’s best actor/actress list

Really think the committee (and myself) should stop overlooking Sophia Loren. She’ll be 90 next year and deserves a spot. I always considered her to be Kind of immortal but she’s definitely going into dangerous zone now. And as we know, not everyone makes it to 100 or is beyond 100.

thanks a lot, makes sense !

My two theme teams : (THEME) Drop Dead Diva Anouk Aimee Iris Apfel Brigitte Bardot Shirley Bassey Marianne Bernadotte Joan Collins Genevieve de Fontenay Jacqueline de Ribes Francoise Fabian Mitzi Gaynor Tippi Hedren Joanne Herring Barry Humphries Glynis Johns Gina Lollobrigida Michelle Mercier Liza Minnelli Leontyne Price Eva Marie Saint Joanne Woodward (THEME) Oui Oui Baguette Paul Barril Bernadette Chirac Maryse Conde Roland Dumas Brigitte Fontaine Marie-France Garaud Sebastien Haller Francoise Hardy Catherine Laborde Jean Lassalle Herbert Leonard Gabriel Matzneff Pierre Menes Edgar Morin (singer) Pone Adrien Quatennens (singer) Renaud Liliane Rovere Claude Sarraute Tristan Waleckx

two question : • why is it written on the drop 40 page : "total dropped in 2023...02!" ? Is it the two celebs that didn't make the drop 40 from last year ? • also, what does this stat mean ? are the "total hits" the total of point for that person or the total of hits the person had since being in the DDP ? Same question with the total teams

That’s actually not a bad idea. You will have a lot of work to do making sure all the candidates meet the required criteria though

Is it better to have drop 40 picks or unique one on your main team ?

16 solo picks for my french theme team + 6 for my "Drop Dead Diva" theme team + 2 for my main list : 24 solo hits. Not bad for a first year

He does look like him

Queen Audrey Hepburn died on this day, 30 years ago, aged 63, following colon cancer. She was the 2nd deathlist hit that year after Noureev. Edit : sorry already posted by hell, didn’t see that.

I wouldn't call Crosby a miss. Yes he was on the list, and yes he was said to be frail/ill. But the purpose of the list is sorting to come up with 50 celebs that are likely to die. There were and are sicker/older celebs that deserved to be on list over him. Of course one can argue that people like Cheney and Alda shouldn't have been on the list over him. But let's keep in mind that Crosby had approximately the same chances of dying than those two (to quote only two) : this is just unpredictable at this stage. People that I would call "misses" would be Vialli, Whales, Vitti, Trintignant and Nichols last year. Even Constantin II was not a miss per se, there were people more sick and frail than him.
