    The Dead of 2022

    A family member of his posted about his death (before it was confirmed) on Reddit as u/elijahwoodman81 and said he had been in poor health for a while to the point where he couldn't walk without pain, and that his death appeared to be a heart attack. His account got suspended and a lot of his comments are gone, but the threads are still semi-legible: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/uy89nu/ray_liotta_will_be_announced_dead_today/ https://www.reddit.com/r/confessions/comments/uy7xjv/deleted_by_user/

    Cartoonists And Animators

    The Animation Guild recently published their in-progress 2022 memorial list. Spotted a couple names on it that don't have a recorded death date anywhere: Jennifer Dolce (IMDb), editor (The Simpsons, Puss in Boots, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Penguins of Madagascar) Karl Geurs (IMDb), co-writer of the recent classic Bobbleheads: The Movie, a lot of Winnie the Pooh/Strawberry Shortcake/Care Bears-type stuff, and a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Janet Quen (IMDb), vfx artist (Volcano, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Spider-Man, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Casino Royale, about 100 other movies) Paul Shardlow (IMDb), art director and animator (Watership Down, Heavy Metal, Madagascar, Bee Movie, had an acting role in Flushed Away) There's a tweet suggesting Geurs died in May. Don't see anything on the others.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    The problem with adding Hedren is, as the recent "classic actress" poll showed, there are still a fair amount of 1930/1931 born actresses who still seem in solid health, including her. While she's worth the DL, there isn't much out there to suggest any of them over the other (outside of Woodward), so I can understand the reticence to pick just one or two. Guys like Baxter, Attenborough, Brooks, Belafonte, etc. are at least into their mid-90s by now, and they're men, where you generally don't really expect extreme longevity because Kirk Douglas hogged all of it for himself.

    Very sad. Magnificent life and career. RIP Leaves Ann Blyth as the last surviving actor to have been nominated for an Oscar in the 1940s

    Queen Elizabeth II

    I remember mentioning deadpooling IRL to a relative of mine after Stan Lee's death. They had absolutely no clue what I was talking about, and clearly assumed I was babbling nonsense. So that was probably the first and last time. Given that I manage a few entertainment sites, I've occasionally ran deadpools on them to moderate success. There are a few users who hate them for being morbid and look down on me a little for doing them. Too bad for me then!

    For posterity's sake, she was actually born in 1949, not the commonly reported 1956: NAME: Judy Tenuta BORN: Nov 1949 AGE: 72 LIVES IN: Studio City, CA edit: I see that, as I was typing this, Variety and Deadline have put out articles with the correct age.

    Louise Fletcher, who won an Oscar as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, dead at 88.
  19. Judging from the IP location it's the same British editor who tweaks the living centenarians page fairly frequently. They fell for a hoax about another centenarian this month, so I'm not inclined to believe it.

    Well, he's also clearly several years older than 83. He graduated from high school in 1948 and was childhood friends with Leonard Nimoy. I went source-hunting for this for his Wiki page a while ago and couldn't come up with anything, but he's more likely in his early 90s.

    Dooley is on Cameo and looks and sounds nowhere near 94. He also indicated in an AV Club interview he plans to see 100. Of course impossible to predict, but he and Hong seem like some of the strongest centenarian candidates of the living 1920s male actors, especially given that they're still regularly working. Holliman stopped signing fan mail in early 2021 due to age. That was nearly two years ago by now, a fair amount of time given what that usually implies. Agree that he could be a good punt for 2023.

    I'm sure THR is right. There's this record on Familytreenow: NAME: Henry Silva BORN: Sep 1926 AGE: 95 LIVES IN: Los Angeles, CA LIVED: Beverly Hills CA, Tarzana CA Variety also seems a little confused. They say he was 94, which would support 1928, but they also say he died on Wednesday, so he would have been 93. THR's article gives a full DOB and correctly indicates that he died Wednesday before his birthday. Given that, I conclude that they did their research, and Variety didn't. 1926 it is IMO. EDIT: New York Times obituary gives his DOB as September 23, 1926, and mentions the erroneous 1928 date. Variety has also updated their article to say 95.
