Lafaucheuse

Sandra Day O'Connor, Bernadette Chirac, Maggie Smith, Léontyne Price, Leslie Caron, Françoise Hardy (don't know her level of fame in the UK though…), Iris Apfel, Yayoi Kusama… I'd say the most important one is Chirac : don't know how she's still here but 90 next year and in such a bad shape, several rumors circulated lately about her being on her deathbed

sorry to contradict but Patricia Routledge ?? maybe famous in the UK but she's basically a no-one outside of it. The eternal debate on the committee's UK centric choices. Anyway Eastwood, Hackman, Shatner and Duvall all seem valid picks but Hedren is out there with them at their level. Eva Marie Saint is even less famous than Hedren imho.

then take down Belafonte, Brooks, Van Dyke, Greenspan, Attenborough, Desmond Morris, LePen, Sandy Gall, Cleo Laine, Baxter, Chomsky, Tebbit, Kundera, Ackland, Treacher and Bucharach. None of them have real health issues and are on the list just because they're old. If Van Dyck has managed to be at n°1 this year and if Olivia de Havilland or Vera Lynn were able to be locked on the list from 89 to 103/4 yo, then maybe the committee don't care that much about illness. And in that case, I think Tippi Hedren should be on next year (dare I say she should be on it till she dies ?)

no health issues but 93. we've seen plenty of nonagenarians without any illness on the list before, some of whom were hits (As recently as this year : QEII, Godard, Estelle Harris, Sidney Poitier…)

Tippi Fuck**g Hedren ! 93 next year, a true legend, one of the last of her generation, she's clearly famous enough. But I feel like she falls in the Eva Marie Saint's category of actresses who won't ever be on the list despite being famous and old enough (Glynis Johns and Lollobrigida are other ones)

completely agree. Carter should be nº1. Maybe Phillips too.

Jacques Perrin and Joan Copeland will definitely be in it.

I just fill the space left with the death of a pick. The position has no importance, I was just telling it to be sure that I’m not mistaking while changing the original lists ahah

Well it's the goal of this game… I'm not sure to understand you

doesn't change anything yes, just it's easier for me to not rearrange every picks when one of them die… if you want to put them in alphabetic order, feel free to do so, I'll try to put them in alphabetic order in the first page list too

The first sub takes the spot of the hit, whatever spot he’s at, that’s the rule. Alphabetic order never came in consideration for these lists.

Ah this point and scrolling down through thé top 20, we have a gap of 2 or 3 spots between each death. To continue this trend, either Leslie Phillips or Akihito have to go.

Pelé to do a Maradona thing in november

Loretta Lynn died on the 4th of October. Khtonia was the first one to post here and choose the 11th of October.

3rd hit of the pool with the passing of Angela Lansbury. A point for Charles de Gaulle, Khtonia, Yorkshire Banker, theoldlady, Wannamaker, handrejka, Toast, Torva Messor, Book, Insane and myself. Popular pick, congrats to all ! @Charles De Gaulle : Eva Marie Saint in at n°5 and Sonny Rollins in at n°3 sub @Khthonia : Rosalynn Carter in at n°1 @YorkshireBanker : Willie Mays in at n°1 @theoldlady : Kat Bjelland in at n°11 and Rob Burrow in at n°3 sub @wannamaker : Sir Bobby Charlton in at n°13 and Joanne Woodward in at n°3 sub @Handrejka : Nina van Pallandt in at n°12 and Rolf Harris in at n°3 sub @Toast : George Alagiah in at n°9 and Francoise Hardy in at n°3 sub @Torva Messor : Leslie Phillips in at n°13 @Book : Norman Spencer in at n°1 and Francoise Hardy in at n°3 sub @Insane : Paul Levesque in at n°3 For those of you who haven't yet, please choose another sub to go at n°3 spot. Also @DeathByArsenic, unless I'm mistaking, you haven't chosen any sub to replace Peter Tobin the other day. Please do so Track and lists updated on the front page, next round opened !

Now it's your turn, well done khtonia, you were the first one to choose a date this round and had it right, congrats ! New round opened

Not shocking, still sad. Another one Leslie Philips has outlived. RIP..

Françoise Hardy apparently hospitalized after infernal hemmorhage edit : probably clickbait article which takes info from Thomas and Jacques Dutronc from this summer. She’s said to have spent her summer in hospital with internal hemmorhage due to chemo treatments. No information on wether she was discharged or not.

Ahah agree. My nationalism wants her to reach 119, which I think she could, but I doubt she’ll reach 120 now

But on the photos she doesn’t look that bad for her age so Who knows…

New vidéo of Lucile Randon from this morning : looks really frail now… she’s barely able to open her eyes

Do you guys think I should change the number of subs to 2 (or even 1)

Agree completely, expect for Chomsky.

Would deserve to be added to thé immortal thread

One point for Book, deathbyarsenic, gcreptile, perhaps, Wep, Wannamaker, the oldlady, Sean, CaptainChorizo, Toast and myself. @Book : Marita Camacho Quiros in at n°13 @Sean : Mike Peters in at n°12 @CaptainChorizo : Eric Lamaze in at n°14 @Toast : Doddie Weir in at n°17 @gcreptile : George Alagiah in at n°6 @DeathByArsenic: Milan Kundera in at n°15 @Perhaps : Stella Stevens in at n°16 @WEP : Doddie Weir in at n°18 @wannamaker : Frank Field in at n°1 @theoldlady : Joe Exotic in at n°1 and @Bibliogryphon : it was your sub n°3 so no point but congrats anyway Congrats to all and please, choose another sub to go at n°3 !
