Manohar Joshi dead. It's Jover.

Roger Guillemin is a hit for Azrael. New round: 1924: Art Schallock / Polly Allen Mellen 1925: Lester Crown / Martha Firestone Ford 1926: Charles Dolan / Ramona Fradon 1927: Fred Risser / Barbara Dane 1928: Sidney Kimmel / Pilar Pallete 1929: Jerry Adler / Vikki Dougan 1930: Ion Iliescu / Mary Costa 1931: Darryl Hickman / Ann Roth 1932: Joe Engle / Jenny Craig 1933: Michael Parenti / Cissy Houston

She will obviously QO.

Less pedantically, he actually has his own thread: https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/10437-richard-lewis/

The only deaths I've heard of this month have been world famous types like Texas real estate mogul Welcome W. Wilson Sr., Nigerian literary scholar Folake Onayemi, Moldovan television host Elena Strâmbeanu, Tanzanian diplomat Diodorus Kamala, and Croatian musicologist Nikša Gligo. Meanwhile, in fast-paced January, legends like former British Virgin Islands Minister for Health and Social Development Carvin Malone were biting the dust like it was nothing. WTF Happened?

We appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of love and support for Brian. While Brian is diagnosed with early stages of dementia and he mourns the loss of his beloved wife Melinda, he is physically healthy and leads a full life and is currently working on projects. As his co-conservators, we will ensure that all of Brian’s daily living needs are satisfied and he continues to lead an active life. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/brian-wilson-conservatorship-petition-1235827805/

The Rolling Stone article says the filing includes a report he's taking donepezil, a type of Alzheimer's medication, so I would assume it's pretty clear even if it's not explicitly spelled out.

I'm a major Brian fan and it is a fairly poorly-kept secret that he's been very mentally checked out since 2021 or so. He's always been hit-and-miss live, but the tour he did with Chicago in 2022 was clearly a new low for him; he spent pretty much each show staring blankly into space at his piano and sang/played extremely little. Most of the fandom came away from it thinking he probably had dementia. There are some Reddit threads about his state based on that tour here: https://www.reddit.com/r/thebeachboys/comments/vw5l7m/brian_wilson_elder_abuse/ https://www.reddit.com/r/thebeachboys/comments/vx0hug/requesting_recent_video_proof_from_brian_wilsons/ His daughters have since stopped him from performing, so I believe his latest public appearance was at the Grammys Beach Boys tribute last April. I've corresponded with some people who were also there and they said again he mostly just stared blankly while an assistant occasionally prompted him to wave and react to the show and such. Not really the sign of a well guy. Anyway, given that this article is based on court documents I have no trouble believing it. That being said, I don't necessarily think he's prime deadpooling material, he actually looks much better physically in recent photos than he did in the mid-2010s when he was regularly battling ailments and seemed super frail. But yeah, don't expect him to have too many years left.

Don Murray, Oscar-nominated star of Marilyn Monroe's Bus Stop, dead at 94.

Yeah, I know he was picked, I guess I should have said "without his son" at the end. (While I like a good dick joke here and there, he's probably the most forced pick on that team. Is it just that his name is Harry? As a whole it doesn't really sound phallic IMO.)

His career was notable enough on its own that he would have managed a newswire QO even if his name wasn't Harry Connick, although I doubt he would have been picked in the DDP.

Harry Connick, Louisiana district attorney from 1973 to 2003, dead at 97. He was also the father of some guy.

He was a Film Roman VP for four-five years, that isn't generally the type of thing that people scramble to write obits for. He worked under Lolee Aries, who also had two more Emmys than him (and a Wiki page), and her death got nothing outside of Facebook.

Fox Pope Francis Bruce Willis Ozzy Osbourne Shannen Doherty Toby Keith Willie Nelson Clint Eastwood Mel Brooks Prunella Scales William Shatner Buzz Aldrin Eva Marie Saint Dave Myers sub: Theo Burrell

He looks very well for 90 in the BTS stuff for The Palace. I think he'll probably have a couple more years in him before he becomes worth DL consideration.

I argued for him to be put on the list and had him on my own, but I would still say not really. Didn't seem to have any health issues and was still out and about, so would have just been a random old guy (though a fairly prestigious one). Also, I think the DL committee isn't generally interested in filmmakers outside of the ultra-famous ones. Godard seems like their only recent pick in terms of guys who are really only notable behind the camera. They didn't go for Zeffirelli, Donen, Neame, Lewis Gilbert, Peter Brook, haven't picked Corman, Jodorowsky, etc

I had a feeling he'd see triple digits. He wrote this fairly long tribute to Alan Arkin last summer, and he looked pretty good for 97 a few months ago IMO: Another failure to consider the fact that not everyone makes it to 100 or is beyond 100 on my part.
