Sounds like she might decide to go the way of Jean-Luc Godard.

Mike Bryson, bass player and cover artist of 80s pranksters Bogshed, died recently. There's now only one of the band still alive, making them probably one of the most recent bands to have reached that stage: http://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/2022/11/andy-matthews-spring-or-bog-shed-in.html

Don't forget it's a holiday weekend in the US. (Perhaps when they saw Clint Eastwood had got up from his deathbed they thought it was safe to take the time off.)

Surprised no one's yet posted the news about Irene Cara: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-63767710 Fame was a big deal in 1982.

Sad news about Tim Beddows. It's hard to imagine the British archive TV scene without Network.

People who've become famous in the last couple of decades are as a rule simply not all that old and unlikely to die with much advance notice. Except in one circumstance: note how many people on that list had cancer.

She looks even more like a transvestite in that pic.

I think Eastwood is the likeliest name that's come up there. He's the most prolific director, the most "iconic" star, and I think the oldest person.

He was a pretty crappy manager actually.

I suspect that the people now in charge of BBC newsrooms listened to post-punk and indie in their teenage/student years.

It's going to be tricky when Milli Vanilli die.

Only a couple of the original members of Earth And Fire are left now. I read recently that singer Jerney Kaagman is in a nursing home and has Alzheimer's.

Hawkwind's line-up ought to include Stacia (dance), born 26 Dec 1952 and still with us.

I believe she wouldn't have a certain former minister back in her cabinet because, in her word, he was "shit."

I haven't seen anyone say out plain that the party membership rejected Sunak for Truss, as they would have rejected him for Boris, because he's a Person of Alternative Kultural Import. Things could get ugly in that respect.
