The Daredevil

It has now been a five month drought- never so long since the second half of 1996.

At this stage, Ethel and Noam are the only ones I can see going before this coming June. Carter seems safe and sound for now... again.

Fallen behind the 2015 DL now.

Latest from Bev Stohl "His wife is with him, and his family members take turns flying to visit him. I can’t disclose his location."

Seen using a cane in public

The 2024 DL has now fallen behind the 2017 DL and 2019 DL, becoming the slowest performing yet, since 2015. Jonnie Irwin & Frank Field should have risen the total up to 5; they were unnecessary misses, no others to put in that category so far this year.

At the Damiani Centenary Gala Dinner (14 March 2024) So Sophia has fully recovered and the DL had the right instinct to leave her alone in 2024.

More from Bev "His ability to speak is complicated by factors I can’t yet disclose. When the relative I’m in touch with visited him a month ago, he did not communicate with her. He is not ambulatory. I’m not sure for how long this will go on. He is not in pain. His eyes are open and he seems to be watching what’s happening around him."

Looks better than she did when I made this thread IMO, could still have 3-5 years left.

On her ninetieth birthday

Latest according to Bev Stohl "Noam has not made significant progress, I’m sorry to say. I doubt he will be able to return to the public eye, as he is not communicating much if at all. At 95, his natural aging process is also a factor. His body is tired. I will continue to keep you posted as I learn more. Thank you all for caring. Bev"

Still able to give dancing lessons; seems like the DL was right to give him another year off.

In case anyone is considering him for their 2025 shadowlist.

Looking chipper in new Cameo video

I am aware of the British Character Actors thread but I thought it was time to set Ackland up with his own thread. He was born in 1928, so he may be one to keep an eye on. Possibly one for the 2021 DL.

Earl Holliman

I'd say Alan Alda in 2028. Mel Brooks and Dick Cheney are also good contenders for the last survivor.

Charles Dierkop is a unique hit for me.

One of my favourite tv shows Police Woman (1974-78) has all its main cast (its police team of four) still living! Who will be first to go and finally break up the team? Angie Dickinson (born 1931) Earl Holliman (born 1928) Charles Dierkop (born 1936) Ed Bernard (born 1939)

Well done to the two who correctly guessed Dierkop.

First main cast member of Police Woman to die. I honestly just watched my final episode of Police Woman yesterday, with the aim to watch all the episodes whilst all four main actors were still alive. I was out by one day.
