The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous
tracy replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList Forum
Esther Jenner, the mother of Caitlyn Jenner, dead at 96. Was a DDP pick in 2019. -
Stanley Tam, founder of Ohio's U.S. Plastic Corp, dead at 107. (Seems quite obscure, but he's still a centenarians DP pick.)
-
Jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal dead at 92. DDP miss, was picked last year.
-
It's his son.
-
More likely he is just reacting to their article. "It appears she is in her final days" doesn't give off the impression he has first-hand info.

Al Jaffee receiving the National Cartoonists' Society Medal of Honor in 2016.

He has an obit now, so let's try again. Ben Ferencz receiving the CCNY President's Medal:

EDIT: Wait, I just saw the yahoo link just goes to the NYT, so it's not a QO. Disregard

Rachel Pollack now actually dead.
-
Harris got a BBC obituary (probably because of Toy Story) and Sheridan didn't, so I think it's fair to say she was the more high-profile of the pair. Unless you're a big fan of ALF.
-
Smith and MacLaine are only in their late 80s and seem pretty active. Why would they have already been added to the list? I think Moreno, Burstyn, and Loren are high profile enough to appear soon enough, although none of them seem unhealthy. Doubt they'll ever go for Saint or Grant at this rate. I feel like Estelle Harris only made the list because Stiller also did so I'm not sure I'd classify her as completely random.

Oscar-nominated cinematographer Bill Butler dead at 101.

Most Surprising DeathList Celebrity Omission
tracy replied to The Daredevil's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I'll say Celeste Holm and Franco Zeffirelli, for some names not already mentioned. There was a mid-2011 NYT article about Holm that detailed her long health history (skin cancer, collapsed lung, memory loss, etc.) and given that she was already 94 then, it wasn't exactly surprising she didn't see 2013. Zeffirelli was very famous and lived well into his 90s, and he looked borderline dead for the last three years or so of his life, so they had plenty of opportunity to pick him and didn't. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
DDP pick: Florida federal judge Roger Vinson dead of prostate cancer.
-
Seymour Stein, Sire Records co-founder who signed Madonna and Talking Heads, dead at 80. DDP pick.
-
Jack Bravman can be dropped from here. Everything out there points to him being born in 1944, not 1926. (IMDb refuses to change it for whatever reason.) Skimming through some other names, Warren Hammack is one you can take out as he died in February. Aly Wassil also likely died in September 2018 per familytreenow. I believe @Gisooohad some sources that showed Tony Franke died in 2018 as well.
-
Mark Russell, political musical comedian, dead at 90. DDP pick.
-
North Carolina congressman and former Senate candidate Nick Galifianakis dead at 94. (Also the uncle of Zach Galifianakis.)

Padres coach Matt Williams diagnosed with colon cancer.

Paul O'Grady dead at 67.
