Is he dead yet?

For nearly six months now, ever since Meat Loaf died, a random number has been texting me "RIP Meat Loaf" repeatedly. I don't know who they are but they just won't quit.

Following one take of the "too darn loud" scene, Michael J. Fox, as Marty, took a snipe at Huey's character, saying "Who do you want? Huey Lewis?"

It does not seem so. Then again, if I were related to a Tory politician I would keep it quiet too.

That was somewhat delayed.

Operating theatre. Where surgeries are performed. Named a theatre as doctoral students would watch the operation as part of their studies. Lemony Snicket covered this in his 8th of the 13 A Series of Unfortunate Events books, in which one of the main characters is almost decapitated by the main antagonist in front of onlookers. A good read which I recommend.

And 12 minutes later...?

Congratulations MariNisia!

@Yvonne WEP has Dick Van Dyke.

Susie Steiner dead. Hit number 10.

Do you speak this language too?

I do not know how everyone else decides who Enters their Shadow Lists, but I have a list of, I suppose subs, that each year take the place of any hits from my list. Any of these "subs" that die within the year go to my own personal "List of the Missed". After June hailed about 6 folk of about 700 (and counting), they now all seem to be dying in very quick succession. First Goram, then Shvartsman, now Brook. I am entirely aware that 700+ are never going to all make my list, but some I just do not want to miss. Edit: Majumdar now also. Very similar to the beginning of December 2021, where at least one person who qualified for my List of the Missed died every day for over a week.

Thank Goodness for reading the comments before voting. After that revelation, I have voted Ferencz, but I think it shall be close between him and Manolić. Angell died in May also, as mentioned elsewhere.

His specific birthday is unknown, but at some point this month Antiguan-British Actor, Historian, Nerf Herder, and one of my picks in the 20/20 + 2 pool Jules Walter turns 93.

Andy Goram Dead. @wannamaker was closest, I believe.

Musharraf: 27th July 2022 (Died 5th February 2023) Goram: 15th July 2022 (Died 2nd July 2022) Randon: 18th May 2023 (Died 17th January 2023)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Lygia Fagundes Telles was born in 1918. Whether this is an exception to the above rule I do not know, as I believe Fagundes Telles was stated to have been born in 1923 until her death when her actual age was revealed, but I have been confused by this for a while now. Apologies and thank you for your time.

I do not know whether he has already been suggested, but I think Sir Michael A. Epstein meets the famousness criteria, and he turns 102 next May.

I have conducted some research, and asked around elsewhere, and it seems that Roberts died in 2019 according to Britmovie. https://www.britmovie.co.uk/forum/cinema/obituaries/81434-henry-roberts

Does anyone know whether Henry Roberts (IMDB) is still alive? I am sceptical, but there is always that chance...
