She stopped responding to fan mail sometime last year (or maybe even earlier, I don't know), didn't appear in any form when she got a Lifetime Achievement Tony in June this year. according to @Gooseberry Crumble a forum he finds to be reliable there are talks about her being seriously ill and she hasn't made a public appearance in years. She also turns 97 next month. Nothing really concrete, but people like me conclude there have been too many red flags raised about her health. EDIT: Part about the fan mail is incorrect.

For what it's worth, a Greek Wikipedia user claims he pulled this from the (now defunct) public Greece records. This also says 1929 is her year of birth, but it could easily have been edited.

8/50 Sidney Poitier Monica Vitti James Lovelock Nichelle Nichols Olivia Newton-John Mikhail Gorbachev Elizabeth II Jean-Luc Godard

Sorry, forgot to mention I changed my pick to Mario Zagallo.

Congrats, @Yvonne. Not sure if that's a hit you wanted, however. 1922: Ray Anthony / Selma van de Perre 1923: Rudolph A. Marcus / Ida Vitale 1924: Lubomir Strougal / Mildred Miller 1925: Mahatmir Mohamad / Lee Grant 1926: Ed Williams / Betye Saar 1927: William Daniels / Gina Lollobrigida 1928: Federico Bahamontes / Jutta Müller 1929: X.J. Kennedy / Vera Miles 1930: Bernie Ecclestone / Vigdís Finnbogadóttir 1931: Mario Zagallo / Kyoko Kagawa

Piet Schrijvers dead at 75.

Another one for Lansbury.

Congrats again, Summer!

Maybe it's a stupid question, but now that Gorbachev became a hit, does that mean we did or did not equal last year's gap?

Lansbury again.

I'm not from the UK but I like picks like Starmer-Smith. As it's UK-based, the DL should always have a few names on it that are only known in (or barely known outside) the UK, in my humble opinion. Besides, it also made sense to pick him because he looked terrible and near death on those photos.

Apparently it's that 'blink and you'll miss the next round' time of the year again. But anyway, congrats, arghton! 1922: Ray Anthony / Selma van de Perre 1923: Rudolph A.

Georges Joris dead at 101.

Frits Bolkestein (1933). Former European Commissioner who also has EU law named after him. Physically he has been very frail for years, he's diabetic and his most recent public appearance seems to have been October last year. Earlier this year he was 'physically unable to comment' when his former political prodigy was revealed to have connections with a terrorist organisation, too.

Olivia Newton-John puts me on 5 too.

I have seen Grease many times when I was a kid. RIP.

Last year I had two DL-related dreams. Once I dreamed I woke up with the DL having gone to 30 hits overnight. I can't remember who the hits were except that Sidney Poitier was the 30th because apparently that was the only hit dream me cared about. And another dream I had was Catherine Deneuve kidnapping Roman Polanski and killing them both with her jeep in a murder-suicide.

Congrats, MariNisia!

Nichelle Nichols puts me on 4 hits and equal with DL22.
