    Documentary to come out in june with interviews of her. A great occasion to see how she really is.

     

    I really think this is time for her to make her come back next year, can’t see her reaching 80 and she’s too big to miss

    I can’t see him dying anytime soon as his daughter has a chance of being France’s PM later this year if the government collapses and early parliamentary elections are held and a Cohabitation government with President Macron has to be held. 

    1) the government won't collapse and cohabitation won't happen

    2) his death is independent from his daughter future success 

     

    on an unrelated topic, if the 2027 elections were to be held now, no matter who would be against her, Marine would be elected president by far… Can't wait………

    What surprise me is how these paparazzis manage to identify those aging celebs. I could pass her by in the street without even noticing it was Shirley. Same for Gene Hackman who looks more like a homeless man than a Hollywood star lately

    Doesn't look like he's away to imminently die either though.

    Agreed, altough he looks lost, feels like there is nothing behind his eyes which cool go with the previous health update of him being unable to speak a lot and losing his mind

    She was in North by Northwest which is generally considered to be Hitchcock's masterpiece and she won an academy award for On The Waterfront.

     

    She is in the top tier of Hollywood nonagenarians

     

     

    Agree. Still baffles me that She wasn’t pick yet by the committee. Is She dies without being on the list, I’d consider her a miss

    If Eva Marie Saint makes it to her 100th birthday in 3 months, where would you rank her among the biggest movie star centenarians ever? Kirk Douglas, Bob Hope, Olivia de Havilland, George Burns and Glynis Johns are arguably top 5 at the moment. She should be up there on their level. Then we have the tier below, with the likes of Luise Rainer,  Gloria Stuart, Marsha Hunt, Norman Lloyd, Janis Paige, Baby Peggy, and so on.

     

    Another question, has there ever been a movie with a would-be centenarian leading couple? Because Eva starred with Bob Hope in the 1956 comedy That Certain Feeling.

    I would argue that Luise Rainer belongs with the formers that you mentionned : 2 oscars and one of the most prominent actress of the 30-40´s Hollywood movies. I doubt George Burns and Glynis Johns reache the level of the other 3 in terms of international notability though but I could be wrong and would glady accept it. 

    other names that comes to mind at the moment are Lupita Tovar, Mary Carsisle, Micheline Presle, Gisèle Casadesus and Earl Cameron but I can’t tell how famous they’ve been outside of the deadpool zone

    He met with Dr. Jane Goodall last month, and there are some new pictures.

    I don’t think he looks that great to be honest. Everyone seems to think he’ll be fine and he looks good but he does look frail. Nothing unusual at his age but that’s not because you’re still working that you can’t drop dead all of a sudden, which is I suspect, the way it’ll go for him

    Simone Weber (wiki) french convicted murderer of her husband and suspected in 2 others deaths is still alive at 92. One of the most important criminal case of the XXth century in France. 

    Simone Weber, "la Diabolique de Nancy" dead at 94. Surprisingly enough, this makes all the front cover right now (and a breaking news notification from Le Monde ;)) whereas I thought she might have died under the radar… Should have put her on my french list, didn't know she was famous enough. 

    She was convicted of having cut up her husband with a concrete grinder but always refuted the allegations
