    Nichelle Nichols

    Early in her career she did some work modelling leather fetish wear - c.1962, so still rather a niche market at the time.

    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    He might get the death penalty?

    Gary Glitter

    Besides, it might finish him off - although I hope not, since I'm having it done in a couple of days.

    Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life

    He'll be best remembered for his connection with Luis Bunuel, as co-writer of Bunuel's later films, which were his most polished and successful: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Phantom of Liberty, That Obscure Object of Desire and others.

    The Counterculture of the 1960's

    He was one of the Chicago 8 put on trial for demonstrating at the 1968 Democratic convention. Only three of them are left now.

    Play School - Play Away - Childrens TV

    It's time to count the corpses, it's time to list them right, it's time to check the obits on the Muppet Show tonight...

    Elvis Presley

    To be fair, in 2015 that seemed about right.

    Joe Biden

    Have you seen Biden's choice for assistant health secretary? https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/19/politics/rachel-levine-health-and-human-services/index.html

    Pop culture you've merged in your head

    There's a particular kind of tv-advert soundtrack cover version which could all be sung by the same young woman. Or not by a human being at all.

    Mitt Romney

    If he ever gets into the year's death list his description should be "stuffed shirt."

    Joe Biden

    If that was true, I'd suspect Kamala Harris of showing him a good time.

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    Perhaps they just don't want to have COVID-19 as his (or her) cause of death. Imagine the headlines.

    Donald J Trump

    If Biden was assassinated, I'd pick Harris for a suspect. There is apparently a rumour that Trump is dead now and that the latest video was a fake.

    The Stars Of B-cinema

    Also a guest star in The Avengers episode "From Venus With Love".

    Dead Pop Stars

    On the other hand those few months were during the band's creative and commercial peak. It's a bit better than a touring musician who joins X number of surviving original members 30 years later.

    Thoughts and Opinions on the 2021 Deathlist

    What constitutes a good deathlist? That a lot of the people on it die this year? There could be a nuclear war and all 50 could be killed the same day. I doubt there'd be much traffic on this forum. (Although the internet was created to have a communications system that could still work after a nuclear war...)

    Ghislaine Maxwell

    Possibly there are some people in the system who want to get rid of her and others who want to protect her, at least until she talks.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Considering that both his parents are long-lived Charles could reign for twenty years or more when the time comes, and it wouldn't surprise me if he did. I think he'd have a great capacity for deciding that what suited him was for the good of the nation. (To be fair, that is arguably true from a king's point of view.) But fate is what it is. He could succeed to the throne, William could die before him, and we could have King George the Seventh* crowned before he was old enough to go into a pub. (*Or Eighth - some years ago it was suggested that Charles might be titled George the Seventh as king.)

    Peter Sutcliffe

    I suppose the hoaxer got away with it longer than Sutcliffe did.

    Rosemary Harris

    Her daughter Jennifer Ehle is an actress too, and they played the same character at different ages in The Camomile Lawn.

    29. Linda Nolan

    I imagine every country has its crummy local celebrities - people who are household names there but unheard of anywhere else, or just known for one or two fluky international hits.

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    Re royals dying of cancer, Edward VIII did. I've often felt it strange to think that if he hadn't abdicated* he would have still been king when I was a kid. (*Or as George Orwell put it, been sacked like a butler by the Conservative Party.)

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Yeow! Looks as if Karl Malden donated his nose for a transplant. I remember being in a taxi in 2000 and the radio operator talking to somebody: "When they said 'septum' I knew what they meant, cause that's where I had my operation..."

    Ideas for position no. 1 on 2021 DL

    The Duke. It's his centennial year, after all.

    Bob Dylan

    I actually used to know someone who was in Hearts Of Fire, though only as an extra. I've seen it and didn't think it was that bad.
