Leslie Phillips was my number 5 pick. You may have missed it cause I accidentally spelled his last name with only one l. Could I have it added as a hit?

Since 2017, the number 50 slot has been a reliable host for death list successes (Ian Brady, Mark Smith, Johnny Clegg, Peter Sutcliffe, Tom Moore). With just 50 days left in the year, what do you feel the chances are of this streak continuing for '22?

I feel Maggie Smith is slightly more active than Gambon these, but i'm just going off what I've read.

The Harry Potter series has now lost two cast members (Robbie Coltrane & Leslie Phillips) in the last three weeks. As a commenter pointed out recently, the ranks of the senior Harry Potter cast has been thinning out at an alarming rate. If Gambon survives 2022, he'd be a strong candidate for 2023.

He definitely belongs on the list, but he's hardly top 10 material at the moment.

Would certainly be better picks than Dick Van Dyke.

What's all the buzz with Angela Lansbury? I haven't heard anything public about her present condition.

I'm sensing an aussie streak. Mel Gibson?

Purely meant as sarcasm. I obviously don't think a supporting child star from a 50s sitcom should have been on the deathlist. Especially when it wasn't even public knowledge that he was sick.

I understand why he was dropped, but no Tony Dow on the List????

I avoid death and aging by not creating useless threads.

Out of the two, I believe Carter will go first.

Die Hard (1988) Bruce Willis Reginald VelJohnson William Atherton

Clinton's also still alive. I believe she comes before Rice in terms of age.

Has he commented yet on the Ukraine situation?

I say he'll be gone by April.

At least i'm asking. Most don't.

Any thoughts on a Shelley Duvall (1949) thread? The actress from the Shining, she's had a history of mental health issues. Seems unlikely she'll live to an advanced age.

I'm not familiar with him. What's his most famous work?

In that case, I'm considering legal recourse for emotional distress. Also, perhaps consider going after Hayley next time she creates one of her random threads.

Not a matter of admiration. I've honestly never seen any of his work nor have I ever watched a single episode of "Only Fools and Horses". I was merely bringing up that many people recognize him as an icon. He's very well known and as Paul bearer said, his work encompasses a number of well known projects outside of "Only Fools and Horses". I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I understand what your saying and completely respect your viewpoint. I think what sometimes gets lost about this site, is that it's more than just a contest. Our fascination with who lives and dies isn't a callous fetish, as much as it is a peculiar means of paying tribute to those who have shaped our world. I'm just a millennial from the States, but David Jason to me is a true legend of comedy and British TV. So often, it feels our heroes are dying off faster than they can be replaced. These giants who we laughed with, grew up with, and changed the way we viewed our world sometimes seemed more like friends and family members than celebrities. So often whenever theirs a big miss on the list, all the idiots come forward and say "why wasn't he/she on the list?' and as pointless as it is, sometimes, there is a feeling that the big Hollywood names crowd out other great candidates who contributed equally to the worlds cultural tapestry. Just because someone isn't known to have age related health issues, doesn't mean they don't exist. Famous people who chose to keep their health battles private will inevitably become misses on this list. All i'm saying is this contest can benefit with considering colorful personalities whose health may not be considered front page news after they have stepped away from public eye. Facepalm me away for making this sentimental comment. Just expressing how I truly feel.

I dare say, Kissinger might also outlive Frankie Muniz!
