    Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life

    Sad to hear this. He was great in The Grump, though the role (and the publicity that followed) must've been quite strenuous for him, as he had the career-ending stroke fairly soon after it premiered.

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    According to this tweet, Tom Oliver (Lou Carpenter in Neighbours) is quite unwell and might not be able to reprise his role in the Neighbours finale. This was apparently mentioned by Oliver's co-star Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) in a Radio 2 special, but I haven't listened it myself.

    18. Patricia Routledge

    Glad to see her looking so well. Probably has still a few years to go at least, though I wouldn't be surprised if she made the front page next year. The discussion above about her KUA co-stars reminds me, when was the last time David Griffin (Emmet) was seen in public? He hasn't had any TV roles after 2005.

    Luis Echeverria is a quick follow-up hit for me, once a QO appears.

    Art For Death's Sake

    Palmu turned 78 today. He got some good health news for a change, as his bladder cancer is gone. How is a man who has survived two house fires planning to celebrate his birthday? By smoking a cigar and barbecuing, of course.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Sad news. He actually died back on 10 June. Siiri Rantanen is now the last survivor of the original Pro Urheilu (Finnish sports award) recipients.

    I did some searching. Couldn't find anything definitive, but here's what I found: IMDb mentions he was credited once as Philip Sydney Frost. The closest match on FreeBMD seems to be a Philip S. Frost born on Q2/1926 in Hackney (Of course, there's a chance the birth year and place on IMDb might not be correct), and Ancestry (don't have a subscription, so I can't see all info) suggests this person's middle name is Sidney. Find a Will has a Philip Sidney Frost who died on 30 April 2011, but I can't link it to this person. GRO might have the answer, but I can't access that myself, and even then, I can't really prove it is definitely the actor.

    I'm sorry, Rantanen is picked by me. Also, she was born in 1924, not 1927.

    The Dead of 2022

    Indeed. I reckon he would've made the front page had he lasted a year or two longer. That being said, Ian Lavender might be worth a punt soon. He is only 76, but has had health issues in the past and he looked quite frail a couple of years back:

    Not sure if this is good enough for Wiki, but this site claims Drayton died in 2017 in Spain: http://www.artsetcbarbados.com/feature/lifting-lid-geoffrey-drayton-and-his-outsider-role-barbadian-literature This probably doesn't help much, but there's a BillionGraves entry (without a grave pic) for Besselink as well.

    There's a BillionGraves entry for a Kenneth Draper, buried to Manitoba, where he has lived according to Wiki. Birth and death year match to your info as well.
