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!

I should have gotten more input before creating this thread. I think my reasoning was that former U.S. Secretary of State, George Schultz had received a thread when he was in his mid eighties.

Some names worth examining for future threads (although I recognize they may be too minor for such an honor). I apologize in advance if they've already been mentioned in this thread. Edward Fox (born 1937) Starred in 'Day of the Jackal' and 'Edward & Mrs. Simpson'. Honorable mentions include 'Battle of Britain' and 'Gandhi'. Judy Cornwell (1940) Daisy in Keeping up Appearances John Alderton (1940) Common face on 70's TV in Britain/Pauline Collins husband Pauline Collins (1940) Sarah from Upstairs Downstairs Also, any thoughts on creating threads for the cast of Upstairs Downstairs (1971-1975) and Keeping up Appearances. Not sure if KUA already has one, but if Vicar of Dibley has one, KUA certainly deserves one.

I went with George Dzundza because he's old and fat apparently.

I don't see the need to have both the Carter's on the list at the same time. She'll easily outlast her husband. I'd wait till he's passed to add her to the official list.

Report to the Commissioner (1975) was another great one. He dropped off in the 90s and relocated to Canada last I heard.

Judging by your pics, i'm guessing you're a Law and Order fan. Both great actors, but Moriarty and Dzundza left the series before it became mainstream. Their replacements, Sam Waterston and Jerry Orbach were really the ones who reaped fame from their association with the series.

Magic Johnson

I think dropping the former Pope, Yoko as well as the failure to include Sandra Day O'Connor are huge misses. I would have also liked to have seen Redgrave, Walters, Nelson and Boothroyd stay on the list. I'm fine with Dick Van Dyke on the list, but does he really belong in the top five? I'm actually pleased with Gambon's appearance on the list. A bit of a wildcard pick, but not a dumb one.

1. Jimmy Carter 2. Bob Barker 3. Tony Bennett 4. Alan Greenspan 5. Leslie Phillips 6. Akihito 7. Mikhail Gorbachev 8. Henry Kissinger 9. Sandra Day O'Connor 10. Henry Belafonte 11.
