Paul Simon Reveals Sudden Hearing Loss, Doubts He’ll Tour Again

I'm guessing Joanne Woodward is going before all of her belongings.

Rolf Harris is a major hit. Superstar Billy Graham is also a hit.

Am I missing something? I haven't heard of any other celebrities dying today or yesterday.

I haven't been able to find anything on Greenspan since January. Is there anything going on with him aside from being really old?

2022 (not on DL; 15/18): Bob Barker (died 8/26/2023) Henry Kissinger Norman Lear Jimmy Carter Alan Arkin (died 6/29/2023) Roman Polanski David Attenborough Randy Quaid Rosalynn Carter Raul Castro Bill Hayes Dick Cheney Sandy Koufax Rosemary Harris Joanne Woodward

He is appearing in public again.

Prominent Jimmy Carter aide Hodding Carter III dead at 88.

Nelson appears to be getting his act together.

One month until he hits 100. Can he pull it off?

Woodward

April 27.

Woodward again

Harry Belafonte is a major hit.

I'll gradually add names to this when I remember the people this site forgot: Early misses: 1987: Rita Hayworth (senile), John Huston (on oxygen) 1989: Emperor Hirohito (zombie), Irving Berlin (centenarian) 1990: Sammy Davis Jr. (throat cancer) Obscure nonagenarians: 1991: Lazar Kaganovich (more frail than the Soviet Union) 1994: the Lubavitcher Rebbe (severe stroke) Expiring Americans: 1991: Lee Atwater (horrific brain cancer; is also the namesake of the Lee Atwater Invitational Dead Pool) 1996: Barry Goldwater (recent stroke, Alzheimer's) 1998: George Wallace (had enough health issues to be considered an immortal) 2003: Lester Maddox (terminal cancer) 2004: Johnny Oates (incurable brain cancer) 2011: Sargent Shriver 2012: George McGovern But the worst DL miss in recent memory is by far James Earl Jones.

I'm sticking with this.

April 18th

Same here, but I'm losing confidence.

I don't think he has much competition in terms of impact.

DeathList entered my dreams again last night. This time, it was Paul Ignatius who died.

Don Hastings kicked the bucket in my dream last night. I woke up lamenting my awful shadow list.

His surgery is scheduled for today. Wishing him luck! Update: he was discharged from the hospital on the 24th in stable condition.

Castro earlier this month.

The Jimmy Carter National Park has been doing this for weeks. Personally, I'm glad they're posting wholesome stories instead of morbid health updates.

That's a generous understatement
