Lafaucheuse

11 janvier 2024 Hit n°1 Extinction de voix French actress Laurence Badie has died aged 95 to provide the french deathlist with its first success. Badie was born in Boulogne in 1928 and began her career in the theatre aged 19. She quickly turned to film, playing along with the most famous actors and actresses of the time such as Louis de Funès, Claude Gensac and even Kirk Douglas in Lust of Life (1956). After that, she became a recurrent boarder of the Académie des Neufs, a french cult TV Game of the 80's. She also was famous for her distinct high-pitch voice which she used for decades while dubbing some of the most famous sitcoms and cartoons of the times (such as Vera in Scooby Doo). She was selected this year at number 38 and becomes the first french deathlist hit ever. A quick and surprising one which, we hope, is just the beginning of a long serie.

Another useless conversation in the world oldest thread that I can’t bother to follow ? Hum surprising… wake me up When Perez Mora dies or let me know when his title comes to Jimmy Carter.

Unfortunately I don't think this wonderful pace will continue... I feel like we're entering a long drought. I suspect we won't break 2020 record neither reach 2023's total.

Surely he can and has for a whole year… So Chomsky probably

I saw all of your messages and I'm glad you're all enjoying this little thread ! Didn't take the time to answer everyone but all of your submissions are taken into consideration

well… congrats ! new round opens

just one, I'll take Stafford if that's ok with you ?

Yep, sorry but I can't accept newcomers at that point in the game… but you can play for yourself and let us know your final score Next edition will open around october so I'll let you know !

From what I see, you did submit a sub after Delors' death, I just didn't put it until now. But you're right, Stuart Berry doesn't score so Antonia Fraser moves from the sub bench to your list and you can either choose Baker or Goodyear for your third sub

Greene turns grey ! Shecky Greene is a solo hit for @tracy : Pauline Newman in, Joane Woodward as sub 3 and one point, congrats ! ------------------------------------- Yarborough almost made the finish line ! Cale Yarborough is a solo hit for @gcreptile : Davis Graham in and another sub to choose ! ------------------------------------- The Sundowner ! Glynis Johns is a hit here for BuffaloPhil, CalebH, CaptainChorizo, diego, GuyFromFuture, khthonia, ladyfiona, lilham, Sean, ThereWillBeDeaths7, Torva Messor and Yorkshire Banker : one point each, congrats ! @BuffaloPhil : Michael Tilson Thomas in, another sub needed please @CalebH : Karin Lesch in and another sub needed please @CaptainChorizo : Antero Laukkanen in and Battersby as sub 2 @diego : Rob Burrow in and Wilson Fittipaldi on the sub list @GuyFromFuture : Le Pen in and another sub to choose please @Khthonia : Linda Nolan in and Bruce Willis waiting for his turn @ladyfiona : DVD in and Lily Elbert a sub 3 (sorry Draper was too late !) @lilham : Bruce Willis in and Noam Chomsky as sub 3 @Sean : David Graham in and Stafford on the sub bench @ThereWillBeDeaths7 : Julie Walters in and Jim Lovell on the sub list @Torva Messor : Laurent de Brunhoff and Chomsky waiting for his turn @YorkshireBanker : Linda Nolan in and Dickie Bird as sub 3 ------------------------------------- D-D-Dead ! Derek Draper is a surprising solo hit for @WEP : Jason Smith in and Liora Argamani as sub 3 ------------------------------------- Zagallo to go ! Mario Zagallo is a hit for CaptainChorizo, Famous6Eva, Max_Bossetti and perhaps @CaptainChorizo : Jonnie Irwin in and Brian Barczyk as sub 3 @Famous6Eva : Ion Illiescu in and 2 subs needed please ! @max_bossetti : Ernesto Fazzalari in and another sub needed please ! @Perhaps : Bill Dundee in and Stafford as third sub @Great Uncle Bulgaria and @Insane : you still have one sub to choose if I'm not mistaking !

Anne Vernon turning 100 today ! Still able to give interview as of may 2023

Zagallo is a solo hit here for me and a daily double with Draper : 17 points

Can’t wait for Carter to go When only 2 people have chosen him. Went for Chomsky myself

Whose major celebrity had the longest wait for the announcement of his/her death ? (Wonder if my sentence is grammaticaly ok in english tbh?)

Chomsky or Carter could well change that

Well… surely the fastest second hit ever right ?

Well that was efficient. Great addition then.

I’ve seen a list on X with Celine Dion, Cher, Madonna, Meryl Streep, DeGeneres and others being on it. Is that true ? Also what happens if this is true ?

Still a little disappointed they didn’t put Marie Saint this year. I thought Johns and her were a duo in terms of deadpooling, fame and age. I fear they might have missed some hit there cause not everybody who makes it to 99 reach 100 you know…

At least that’s not Bill Gates Sr. or Ruby Muhammad. I maintain B. Chirac could have been on though

That’s precisely why I have always sais qo are debatable and why I campaigned for a more inclusive way of deadpooling (in the DDP for example). The guy has two wiki page in addition to the english one. Not saying it should be taken in consideration as wiki is, as we all know, debatable in itself, but still….

La baie des anges with Moreau is another one fantastic movie in which she’s a gambling addiction in Cannes. A very aesthetic movie and the dialogs are gold

Interesting to see Tautou here ! She’s not anywhere as famous as Deneuve and Moreau out here. Cotillard and Deneuve make sense. I thought Moreau was up there with them. A wonderful actress and remarkable woman. A sex symbol also which turned Pierre Cardin hetero as they dated for 4 years.

Question : was Jeanne Moreau as famous in the UK as Bardot is ? In France she still is but I doubt She could have made the list. Died at 89 in 2017. Have a feeling BB could well follow her footprints…

I almost did. Wouldn’t have score though isn’t it ?
