La Tombe

Yes and ?

More than 10 days past in 2025, and these year is slowly becoming boring as we have not seen any major death of international personalities (major Actor/Actress, major scientist, major artist, major politician) Can : a leader like former Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade a famous sociologist like Noam Chomsky a famous actress like Joanne Woodward stop hanging on to life ?

Do we have some news about Vera Miles ? And Kim Novak as same occasion ? What about Dame Julie Andrews ? Does she will live as long as DVD or Glynis Johns her co-partners in Mary Poppins classical movie ?

Hedren me too

If Omaba is tragically assassinated or succumb to a sudden cardiac arrest or to others serious health issues....You would change your reaction aftermind @Mango

Obama

Morgan Freeman has paid tribute on social media to Benoît Allemane.

I was watching the service….Dan Quayle is there ?

No living former or actual US president (same for first ladies) has major health issues or is in major health decline as we can all see with images of Jimmy Carter funeral…so it’s almost certain, we will have to wait a decade at least to see an other state funeral (in more many american president have easily reached 90y old in the past).

With the death of Gabriel de Broglie, we are now at 3 hits for the French Deathlist 2025, what a run !

French academician Gabriel de Broglie dead at 93, death expected, as he was frail in the last two years.

Because Le Pen is not Trump

Stop debating politics here…there are others places to do it.

2 hits in just a few days…what a start !!!! Or maybe these DL will be strocken by the curse of the official DL 2024 !

A great loss…a singular voice he had.

Controversial and hated figure in the French 5th Republic….but still was one of the most influential. Condolences to the Le Pen family but happy new year for France !

Chomsky

Here is the french press talking about him living in France : https://www.lepopulaire.fr/maisonnais-sur-tardoire-87440/actualites/un-couple-damericains-sest-installe-dans-le-departement-avec-deux-chevaux-sauvages_1633551/ https://www.lepopulaire.fr/maisonnais-sur-tardoire-87440/loisirs/un-ancien-acteur-d-hollywood-desormais-installe-en-haute-vienne-signe-un-thriller-aux-allures-de-western_13838498/ https://www.lepopulaire.fr/limoges-87100/loisirs/pourquoi-joshua-bryant-acteur-d-hollywood-et-melinda-mullins-actrice-newyorkaise-ont-choisi-la-haute-vienne_12899855/

Please accept my deepest condolences @Bibliogryphon for your loss. How old she was ?

I can confirm that…Previous years the DL commitee chose 2 French picks but these year only Le Pen…sad many French names famous at home are not well known abroad…Even a name like Bernadette Chirac as former french lady is not considered while a former first lady of the Philippines whose name I never heard her, she is.

A great list....I predict a final score at double digit like 2024.

Michèle Mercier is 86 today ! Perhaps unknown outside France, but there it was a huge star in the 1960's and was one of the best and one of the most gorgeous French actress of the XX century (famous for the Angelique serie of films).

I checked for Dennis Law, he has dementia since 2021.....Sure it's really really a bad drop and a future miss for the deathlist these year. Julie Walters and Dick Cheney are safe drops. Tom Brokaw, Vanessa Redgrave instead should have been kept on the DL. Vanessa Redgrave is frail. Tom Brokaw....his condition is so bad.

Dennis Law has dementia since many years now like Bobby Charlton had. I think it’s a bad drop. Bardot, ok

She just lost her French husband in 2024…and she is going to 93 these year…and we have seen in the past that many famous widowed personnaliies over 90y die just months or one year later after their mate.
