La Tombe

Me too, it's also my 6th hit ! These year is deadly for French personalities, they drop like flies.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! Babar was one of the hero in my childhood ! RIP to these talentuous writer...although it was his father Jean de Brunhoff who created Babar, nevermind thanks to the Brunhoff family who by their talent marked my childhood.

An other hit for the French Deathlist !

For now, I have 4 hits for my SD, but I mixed up some famous names of French celebrities with the names of others world famous celebrities. 1) Glynis Johns 2) Franz Beckenbauer 3) Micheline Presle 4) Philippe de Gaulle Logically I shouldn’t count both French names, Micheline and Philippe are not enough famous.

You can add one as me who joined the forum in early may last year and did a deathlist for 2023.

Salut !

Coucou good fellow !

In notable French figures, you have Valerie André still alive : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valérie_André

My 5th hit so far for me ! I predicted from the start of the year that 2024 would be a very good year for the French Deathlist, just by simply looking at all the nonagenarian and centenarian we choose.

Thanks for sharing. Inside my family : - My paternal grandpa (84), all brothers dead (the last one died yesterday), (two sisters-in-law alive) - My paternal grandma is dead, one sister alive (96) (one sister dead, all brothers-in-law dead) - My maternal grandpa is dead, one sister alive (94), one sister-in-law alive (89) (all others brothers and sisters, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law dead) - My maternal grandma (83), her only brother dead and her sister-in-law dead

Of those who have their grandparents alive or dead, do you still have some great-uncle or great-aunt alive as me ?

Thank you all for your kind messages of condolences.

I have the sadness to announce that this morning, my great-uncle has passed away at 81. He was diminished for some times. It’s a huge loss for my grandpa. Sadly, he is now the last one in his family. My grandpa who is 84, had 2 brothers and he was older than them. The other one, the youngest died in 2020, aged 72. Moreover, my grandpa is widowed since the death of my grandma in 2019, aged 79. Fortunately, he still has his sons including my dad and his grandchildren including me for supporting him. Since 2019, my grandpa really passed through tough times.

From your list, Jean-Pierre Soisson dead today from cancer at 89.

An other hit for the French Deathlist !

Sabine Sun, French actress, wife of Terence Young, British director of James Bond Films seems to have died in 2014. I found out these website....https://galeriebrocante.com/brocante_antiquites/sabine_sun-182-du_cinema.html I didn't find out others websites which mention her passing.

So many French actors and actress ! Thank you guy, well done for you searches !

You are right. The French cinema has lost so many actors and actress in the past few weeks !

Her real name was Anne Talchi, I found her death notice : https://www.simplifia.fr/avis-de-deces/anne-chauvet-cantaron

It’s the thread « French speaking Deathlist », you could rely the news in the other thread French Deathlist.

An other passing in your list @Gisooo….and again another French actor/actress…it’s Micheline Presle dead at 101.

Micheline Presle was perhaps the last actress of the Golden age of French cinema, she was part of the same generation as Michèle Morgan and Danielle Darrieux. Her loss is a huge loss for French cinema !!!

Legendary French actress Micheline Presle has died at the fabulous age of 101 ! Very sad news !

@Gisooo You should replace the names of the French actors passed by those that I gave you the names in dm.

En ce début d’année 2024, c’est l’hécatombe…après Laurence Badie, Gérard Barray…un autre acteur vient de nous quitter, Roland Bertin de la Comédie Française, il avait 93 ans.
