Announcer Jay Allen has been diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer with lung and liver metastases. Am I posting it in a right thread? If he makes it to next year, he'll be picked as joker by many DDP teams.

    How about Margaita Terekhova (b.1942) , Soviet actress with end-stage Alzheimer's? I don't see her living to see next year.

    I see him dying this Summer-Autumn. I don't think he'll see 2020.

    I went with William Shatner (he's quite active on Twitter) for the longest living one and Desmond Tutu for the weakest one. Though, I don't have much confidence in Ted Kotcheff and Ian Holm either.

    Who has picked Joni Mitchell? She is in frail health nowadays. She was on 2018 list. The real challenge is between Terrence Malick, Christopher Walken and Catherine Deneueve, their mothers had both made it to 100 (And Catherine's mom is still alive at 107).

    Mikhail Gorbachev

    I've seen in Russian news reports that he doesn't consider the new "Chernobyl" HBO series to be truthful. It means that he is still alive and active. But not quite well.

    Class of 1920

    You forgot to add Yegor Ligachev (b.29.11.1920), famous Soviet politician. He's famous for initiating anti-alcohol campaign in the 1980's and telling Yeltsin something, like "Boris, you are wrong,".
