The Daredevil

"Barely recognisable" in new photo

Latest update "Despite being impeccably dressed in heels and with manicured nails, Pru is noticeably frail and needs help to walk. Her fading hearing, even with a couple of aids in – she describes them as her ‘ears’ – means she struggles to follow conversation. But she now also has the detached, unfocused air of someone who has progressed to the more advanced stages of vascular dementia."

New on Cameo! Maybe the committee was right to pass on her this year. She could very well see 2025. However, her inclusion on Cameo is likely for the purpose of helping pay medical costs.

Celebrated his 94th birthday with Stefanie and his wife, Jill St. John. Wagner also celebrated his 94th birthday at the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. There, he gave a toast to his family whilst standing up, which he posted on Instagram.

Appeared at Wednesday night's BFI festival. I'm glad I didn't pick him this year.

Flack in 2024 or 2025. Wagner may very well live into 2028.

The DL may have jumped the gun on this one. Of course, hard to know by just her voice, but in this phone interview a couple of months ago (after her hospitalisations), her voice still sounds strong and full of life.

At this point in time, I see at least 17 hits for the French Deathlist 2024 including Badie, De Gaulle, Dumas, Morin, Le Pen, Malaurie, Chirac, Page, Pagny, Mitterrand, Fontaine, Villalonga, Vernon, Serre, Géminiani, Darrigade and Guillemin. However, some notable omissions and good possibilities for next year are: Phillippe Leroy- 93 Gerard Depardieu- 75 Leslie Caron- 92 Pierre Vernier- 92 Jean Sorel- 89 Brigitte Auber- 98 Anouk Aimée- 91 Yvonne Furneaux- 97 André Oumansky- 90 Sophie Grimaldi- 87 Pierre Richard- 89 Jacques Charrier- 87 Richard Bohringer- 81 Jacques Dutronc- 80 Jean-Pierre Castaldi- 79 Sami Frey- 86

Redgrave first, Hackman last.

Of the top five this year, only Jimmy deserves to be there.

In hospital, hasn't slept for six nights

I'd argue David Soul, we all knew Soul had been in poor health for years. With Jewison, we had no good reason to suspect he was near death.

Expected to attend his daughter's wedding later this year!

Given medical check-up last Saturday Statement from Delon's lawyer on outcome of medical assessment: “Mr Delon replied to all the questions of the expert doctor thus confirming that his faculties are not weakened, contrary to all the defamatory accusations that have made him an object of the media since January.” Also important to emphasise, his lawyer has not had any allegations against them by another second party, so is likely a trustworthy source. And again going back to the 2023 Christmas photos, Delon's facial features looked more like those of a 70-year-old than an 88-year-old, despite him being wheelchair bound. One of the healthiest 88-year-olds I have seen (many people at that age can no longer walk). Delon could therefore make 2025 at a pinch (we know his history of ill health complaints), but his 90th birthday, I really don't see it unfortunately. It looks like he will join the hugely popular 89 club.

His ex-carer accuses his children of attempted murder Interesting that Delon stopped taking his medication for his lymphoma in July 2023, the month his ex-carer was kicked out of his house by his children.

To stand trial with his daughter on alleged misuse of funds "An initial pre-trial hearing scheduled for 27 March will be followed by a more in-depth hearing during October and November."

Barenboim leading the BerlinPhil at the conclusion of 2023. Doesn't look like a worthy 2024 DeathList candidate at all based on these pics. Does anyone here know what "serious neurological condition" Barenboim has been suffering from?

January 12th

Tom Brokaw out of the 46 surviving mortals and the one immortal peanut farmer.

The DL did a fine job with drops this year: Yoko Ono was the only unwise drop, although it might also have been worth keeping on Marianne Faithfull.

Yes, looks like a man with a few years left but would be surprising if he makes 90.

I took Delon off my 2024 shadowlist at the last minute, based on the 2023 Christmas pics above. Wheelchair bound, but other than that, looks great and really youthful for 88. But it sounds like he is in poorer health than he looks. What do we think? Based on these photos, does he look like a 2024 death?

If he makes 2025, he should be positioned at no. 1 on the DL.
