Death Impends

He's one of those names I first learned of from Futurama. Two DDP teams btw.

Congrats, Reptile!

One of the few living behind-the-scenes 70s Columbo contributors. Spielberg and composer Dick DeBenedictis still remain off the top of my head.

Is this the first time that two members of the same band are DeathList hits? I think it is but I feel like there's an obvious example escaping me. Sinatra and Dean Martin come closest but the Rat Pack wasn't a band per se. Kind of funny if so, you'd assume it'd end up being a massive group like the Stones or something, whereas the Nolans were moreso good at playing to the media.

Nolan is the third most popular pick.

Lovell

Both hits being on the previous list backs up the expectation this year will see a backlog clean out after last year's massive logjam.

I tend not to drop names here, even if I get bored with them. So she's still a hit for me here, but not anywhere else.

Only death by chocolate and GrimThought were in the mood for picking Linda Nolan. Well done. Thread closed.

Unpicked for 2025.

He's a unique hit in the 2025 DDP.

DDP miss. Last on it in 2023.

Pretty impressive though for Keleti to be on this longlist for advanced age frailty yet live another decade.
