His death is a shock ! In April, it was his last public apparition :

Absolutely not agree with Daniel Barenboim, the famous conductor has had many health issues during these past years. These year, he had to cancel some concerts : https://www.radioclassique.fr/classique/concerts-festivals/daniel-barenboim-renonce-a-nouveau-a-des-concerts-pour-raisons-de-sante/

He has never been so close to die at this point. His condition right now is painful to watch. May he rejoins his beloved Rosalynn soon !

Le Pen still going strong at 96 years old, by seeing him singing with his far-right friends. https://x.com/cerfiafr/status/1840743708158812523?s=46&t=Z3xGa2L8Qt2f3EwhmhklDw

HB to Jimmy…The last I hope seeing the lastest picture of him !

I think he will die before new year eve.

Sorry to be depressing but…..Who do you think will be the next to pass away among the Harry Potter films left actors ?

Happy Birthday to BB….she turns 90 today ! She still lives peacefully on the French Riviera…but still complains a lot about usual life. Since a few days, many French newspaper made their headlines about this anniversary including this local one published in the area where she lives. And by the way, she is the last French icon known worldwide after the passings of J-P Belmondo in 2021 and Alain Delon in 2024.

What did I say one year ago, exactly at the same time in 2023, we lost Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledure), and now it's her !!! Rest in peace legend, you marked my childhood for ever. I need to watch Downton Abbey her other major role in her last years. Just to know, how many main actors from Harry Potter movies, are still alive ?

I just found out the instagram account of legendary French actress Anne Vernon (b 1924) : https://www.instagram.com/anne_vernon_artiste/ WHAT AN ARTIST SHE IS ! I love her paintings ! For a centenarian woman, the recents photo of her show that she can live one or two more years easily ! She will see 2025 !

Elodie Constantin, première épouse de Jean-Paul Belmondo et mère de trois de ses enfants (dont le célèbre Paul Belmondo) vient de mourir à 90 ans. L'annonce vient de Paul directement sur son compte Instagram / Elodie Constantin, french dancer, first wife of Jean-Paul Belmondo and mother of three of his children (including the famous Paul Belmondo) hast just passed away at 90. The announcement comes directly from Paul himself on a post of his Instagram Account. Condoléances à la famille Belmondo / Condolences to the Belmondo family (legendary family in France with Paul the patriarch who was a famous sculptor, Jean-Paul, the son who was a famous actor, Paul, the grandson who is race driver, and Victor the great grandson who is also an actor) https://www.instagram.com/p/C_245qmgFQu

HB to my grandpa…now 85.

Robert Marcy, a centenarian French actor dead at 104.

Delon is my saddest year of the year for me !

From your predictions two months ago : Delon is dead, and I'm pretty sure JMLP and Bernadette Chirac will not see 2025.....Around September or October, Bernadette Chirac could die (her husband, former French President Jacques Chirac died almost 5 five years ago at the same period). Bernadette Chirac is in poor health for many years now. She has been unseen in public since pre-Covid and all I know is that she moves only in a wheelchair. December could be a good period for JMLP since Delors and him have been DL picks and Delors an other famous French politician died in December last year.

I’m absolutely shocked ! I thought that he would celebrate his 89th birthday while his health was declining ! Finally he died as the same age as Belmondo died in 2021. 2024 is really a dark year for French cinema…and the year is even not finished yet !

Charles Juliet est mort fin juillet à 89 ans.

Dans les prochaines personnalités politiques à décéder : - Fin 2024 : André Chandernagor, Bernadette Chirac, JMLP - 2025 : Gaston Flosse, Pierre Joxe, Edouard Balladur - 2026 : Edith Cresson

Je suis bien content de ce choix….pourtant il avait l’air d’avoir la forme…je le voyais atteindre 2025.

Exactly Edith Cresson, and Balladur of course !

J’ai bien fait de choisir le doyen des président de l’assemblée nationale dans ma deathlist cette année. Encore une personnalité politique de premier rang qui nous quitte ! (Sorry for the post in French)

Pascal Danel, chanteur des années yéyés est mort à 80 ans ! RIP !

Carter Center will tell us when but it’s not for now

Around this autumn or winter, I think for him, I mean more later in the year.
