    All the names from my list were from the Forbes annual billionaire list. Seemed anyone mentioned there was nearly a lock for a QO, which was kinda one of my points. 

     

    That being said, seeing all the names not mentioned is interesting. I appreciate that other's also found some interest in the topic!

    Who am I kidding....I'm ready for this disappointment to be closed :D

    It is interesting to me how old some of the richest people on our planet turn out to be.

     

    I've decided to make a few lists about that. We have a few thousand billionaires in the world, I am going to list the Top 5 by a few different countries + everyone else

     

     

    The 5 Oldest Billionaires August 2022 in the United States

     

    1. (Wiki) George Joseph, age 100, Insurance

    2. (Wiki) Charles Munger, age 98, Berkshire Hathaway

    3. (Wiki) David Murdock, age 98, Dole food products

    4. (Wiki) S. Daniel Abraham, age 97, Slim-Fast

    5. (Wiki) Ted Lerner, age 96, Real-Estate

     

    In the U.S there are an additional 20 billionaires between age 96-90 and 114 between age 89-80.

     

    The 5 Oldest Billionaires August 2022 in the United Kingdom

     

    1. (Wiki) Bernard Lewis, age 96, Fashion

    2. (Wiki) Bernard Ecclestone, age 91, Formula One

    3. (Wiki) Robert Miller, age 88, Retail

    4. (Wiki) Joe Lewis, age 85, Investments

    5. (Wiki) David Reuben, age 83, Real Estate

    (Wiki) Jamey Rootes has died at the age of 55. Wording on the death notice points to suicide. Mr. Rootes was the former President of the Houston Texans from 2005 until retiring in 2021. He was also a former GM/CEO of multiple soccer teams, both MLS and NWSL.

     

    The Houston Texans would not exist as they currently do today if not for this man and his work.

    Agree with you ! IM Pei was a weird miss, Johns could be one. Don’t know Why they don’t go with such high profile like Iris Apfel, napolitano, Eastwood, Tippi Hedren, Sandra Day O Connor, Trintignant or even Eva Marie Saint and Leontyne Price instead of Starmer Smith for exemple Who is a nobody to a lot of us. All of them have reach the « never will be on it » zone even if they should and deserve to be on.
     

    Anyway, I think Liza Minelli will be on the list and that’s ok with me, looks frailer than ever 

    I agree with everyone on your list, but Clint Eastwood.

     

    There is no more reason for Clint to be on the list than Dick van Dyke. At least DvD is quite a bit older. They may add Eastwood onto the list eventually, but honestly there is no reason too other than old. There are plenty of old people we could put on the list. Is Clint Eastwood worth missing a hit on vs having him as a bed-blocker for 5-6 years?

    Petra Unkel confirmed to have died in 2001. The journalist posting researches silent era actors and provides a list of those he believes alive here.

    The names mentioned:

     

    1. Donnie "Beezer" Smith, 97 (Sept. 17, 1924)

    2. Mildred Kornman, 97 (July 10, 1925)

    3. Gary Watson, 93 (Sept. 27, 1928)

     

    The bottom two are well known, first has been debated.

    Two questions come to mine : 

    - does anyone know What can be her illness 

    - should we consider her for next year list ? 

    She'll be on my personal list for next year.

     

    It may take 3-5 years though honestly.

    A bit early for this conversation, no?

     

    We still have people alive from the 1900-1910 time period....

     

    *granted all known dead before 1904*

     

    Spanish Civil War participants will die out first. That's more interesting to me currently IMO

    It's sad as your post history shows that at one point, you were a somewhat useful member on this site.

    Ah well, to my ignore list you go

    Sounds like he could survive but most likely won't. 

    It also seems as if it might be better if he didn't. Having that level of trauma to your body at any age, much less 75, can be hard to overcome mentally.

     

    Imagining all he has to go through from this point forward....might be more merciful if he goes sooner rather than later.

    Well I'm really sorry you don't like old Vietnamese guys.

     

    And don't worry, I won't make another list of them. 

    I hope you do continue. It's interesting to see people from other cultures and geopolitics. You also put in a lot of time and effort, I respect + appreciate it. 

     

    Ignore the haters. When one has hatred and the desire to be miserable in their heart, they spread it on others.

    I'm surprised that someone who's been burned so badly could be left with usable organs.

    I have similar thoughts. Part of me wonders if that is maybe the issue? They are figuring out 1. What can we use 2. Who needs it badly enough

     

    Could be a situation where the organs aren't great, but are better than what someone else has.

    The Old Crem hasn't been this excited about drip by drip breaking news updates since the Queen had pancreatic cancer.

    Seriously! He was stabbed. We get it. If he dies let me know.

    Has got Yahoo and Daily Mail coverage for this announcement so an obit cert. 

    I would argue that anyone currently in the NBA/MLB/NFL/NHL HOF gets a QO 95% of the time. 

     

    Sports are big here.

    Carol Burnett can now be watched in the final episodes of Netflix series Better Call Saul. Looks okay, I thought, good for a couple of years at least. But the black/white camera and make up might hide her real look.

    It is a AMC show/series, not Netflix. In the states the current season (which is the last) won't be on Netflix until a year from the last episode airing.
