The Daredevil

Patricia Routledge, Thelma Barlow and Joan Plowright feel like three highly Deathlisty names (all born in 1929) who will make their DL debuts in 2023.

Leslie Phillips. I have a feeling this is his month... 98 as his age of death seems to suit him too.

Lynn’s untimely demise leaves her carry over spot vacant for Burt Bacharach on the 2023 DL.

For me, it’s now no contest between Trump and Clinton, after Carter. Clinton seems sure to go before Trump; with the exception of an unnatural death. Clinton (who has had multiple health issues in recent years) will be gone by 2030 and I feel Trump (who is still relatively active and seemingly in good health) will not go any earlier than 2034. I still feel Biden will outlive both of them and then Bush will outlive Biden. Obama should also get close to 100.

With all the mysterious rumours about Putin’s ill health, he is probably bound to make the 2023 DL. Eva Marie Saint is also another very likely 2023 DL newcomer. A few more likely returnees for the 2023 DL (even though I do not necessarily agree with them) are Imelda Marcos, Raul Castro, Louis Farrakhan and Betty Boothroyd.

Does anyone know about the current status of American actor Edward Marcus, who starred in The Destructors (1974) and Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (1977). He apparently retired in 2003, but I can’t find anything after that. He was probably born around 1940, so it’s possible he’s still alive and in his early eighties.

Tobin’s health has significantly deteriorated in the last few days

French icon, Yvonne Furneaux, who also starred in La Dolce Vita, turned 96 this year. Definitely one to consider. French icon, Leslie Caron, who starred in An American in Paris, Father Goose, Gigi (amongst others) turned 91 this year, so another one to consider!

Back in the senate. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-09-27/italy-berlusconi-wins-senate-seat-after-tax-ban Still safe for 2023, at this rate.

Does anyone know if Gina Carroll (sang Shadows of Paris from A Shot in The Dark-1964), is still alive or her birth date? Information seems to be unusually scarce on her. She must be in her eighties now, if she is still alive.

Recent interview with Zelensky https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b1jkC4u7z_M From around 1:24:00, you can see Delon. No denying he still looks fantastic but consistently sounds frail and short of breath. Maybe Delon can wait until 2024 for his DL induction but I wouldn’t take the risk, especially with all the old French greats dying recently...

I’d add Gina Lollobrigida and Willie Nelson to that list.

Alain Delon is also a very big must for the 2023 DL. Not only because of much speculation suggesting he has wanted to end his life for years but also because basically every other French male actor and director from his era is now dead. And what a big miss Delon would be...
