Summer in Transylvania

Jody Gormley as the new sub after the death of Janey Godley, please.

Greg Hildebrandt, who, with his brother Tim, designed the early Star Wars posters in 1977, dead at 85.

Deathrace Form Guide #2 Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Since the death of Fujimori, there may just be a gap the size of a disgraced former President of Peru in your list. If so, look no further than 86-year old Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, the cousin of former DL pick Jean-Luc Godard, who, true to his role, has seen a number of trial-induced hospitalisations over the last few years. With a few months where anything can happen still to go, he may be Peruvian very popular among Death Poolers come January.

Remember, remember, the 4th of November.

Echoing what Drol said, I wish you the best. Your posts have never failed to be interesting and superbly researched/sourced. I hope everything goes well.

Best of luck. I hope everything works out for you.

Hama Amadou dead from malaria aged 74. He served as PM from 1995-1996 and then again from 2000-2007.

Elizabeth Francis dead at 115. The 1900s decade is now down to 4 survivors.

Congratulations, Tracy. 1924: Andrew Bruce / Priscilla Pointer 1925: Dick Van Dyke / June Lockhart 1926: Abdoulaye Wade / Noreen Riols 1927: Thomas Noguchi / Micheline Bernardini 1928: Kim Yong-nam / Hazel Ascot 1929: Charles Dumont / Betty Brosmer 1930: Gene Hackman / Gladys West 1931: Norman Tebbit / Isabel Martinez de Peron 1932: Indarjit Singh / Antonia Fraser 1933: Alexander Mitta / Katherine, Duchess of Kent

New video of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from late September. He doesn't appear to have declined in the last few months, but he hasn't improved either. I'm surprised he's still attending events if he can hardly recognise his own family, as is reportedly the case and has been for some time.

He's scheduled to be at Fan Expo San Francisco at the end of next month, which may prove a good form-spotting opportunity, especially given its proximity to the new year.

Megan Marshack, the aide in whose company Nelson Rockefeller was when he died, dead at 70. She was later the partner of Charles Addams for a short while.

Former Member of the House of Representatives for Minnesota Rick Nolan dead at 80. Notably returned to Congress after a 32-year gap (the second-longest in United States history and the longest in the modern era) in 2013, having previously stood down in 1981.

With the recent debate over who should replace the (as it currently stands) 21 names to be dropped for next year's list, I would like to put forth a lesser-discussed, but nevertheless worthy, suggestion in the form of Philip Zimbardo. Zimbardo is best-known for the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, in which he himself partook as superintendent, which was aborted after just six of the fourteen days that it was supposed to go on for due to the experiment's highly psychologically abusive nature. His part in this would later make him a major commentator on the psychology behind the Abu Ghraib Prison Torture during the Iraq War when it came to light in 2004. As for his health, I was initially wary to suggest him as yet another random famous old person who could be on the list - which has proven not to be much of a winning formula this year thus far - but, for someone fairly active in his field, I cannot find any news on him since what appears to be his most recent interview in February 2023, where he looks quite like a geriatric Spock: He's one to watch for the future, certainly, and is definitely DLy enough to warrant his own place on the list.

Sir Mike Jackson reportedly dead at 80. Edit: .

Mentioned a couple of times before, musicologist Clive Wearing (Wiki), noted for having had severe amnesia since 1985, will turn 87 next May. He should not only obit, but would also make for an interesting pick (even aside from his amnesia, he worked for the BBC, having chosen the music for Radio 3's coverage of Charles and Diana's Wedding, and featured prominently in his field of classical music), instead of the nineteenth obscure cricketer.

As mentioned above, also the only user known to have broken the news of their own namesake's death.

She (for search purposes, Sheila Fearn) later married an American businessman, whose 2019 obituary notes that she survives him. One of the final posts of this Britmovie thread states that she was living in London as of 2020, having previously lived in Oxfordshire, which aligns with the mention in her husband's obit. Unless she has died since, which I cannot find a mention of, she's still alive, probably in either London or Oxfordshire.

I think it's going to be a long, long time.

Don Marshall reportedly dead at 92.

Hugh George Cholmondeley, 5th Baron Delamere dead at 82. Wiki claims he's 90. He was picked in a few pools about a decade ago.

@Evil Grimace 5 hits and 9 and a bit months in, can we please have a scoreboard?

30th October.

Congratulations, Bobytomi.

Does anyone know whether or not Greek actress Zeta Apostolou is still alive? Her last credit was in 1999, so she could have just retired, but she would probably be in her late 80s at the youngest at the moment, so I'm not entirely confident that she hasn't since died. Edit: I think this confirms that she is still alive.
