Obit from Bloody Disgusting as confirmation.

Obit as confirmation.

Apologies Quim.

Ivermectin is still going through clinical trials but the initial tests show it does have some degree of effect. The WHO have said that until it's approved, people shouldn't be popping it outside of clinical trials. If the man is happy to make himself a guinea pig however, just let him be. Not sure why it upsets you so much Quim.

In other words, not a notable actor in the adult film industry. Just tabloid fodder.

Sidney Poitier KBE Monica Vitti 2/50

Times obit for Tessa Gaiman MBE, who has died aged 67 from breast cancer. Maggie's secretary from 1977 to 1989.

I was torn on which one of these to use as her bio pic on the DDP... ... I ultimately went for the one on the left because I didn't want anyone accusing me of airbrushing pictures to improve/slim appearances.

Just a minor stroke. He only suffered dizziness and has presumably already been discharged. May only be 49, but when you're considerably overweight any health complication becomes more likely.

Deathobits.com is a spam site, not a news source. A rookie mistake for a long-term DL member. I hope you won't mind me saying, seeing as you always grill others on their slip ups. Local obit from a reputable source.

Emmanuel Wamala has just been killed off on his Wiki page. Doesn’t look like vandalism either. Can’t find anything elsewhere.

Shintaro Ishihara (wiki), former Governor of Tokyo for 13 years, dead at 89. A past DDP pick (not this year though).

Romania doesn’t have any important ppl. Not since Ceausescu died.

Alright, if it’s personal significance, rather than worldly significance, then Marlon Bundo it is then. Cos I like fluffy rabbits.

Seeing as this thread is effectively becoming “When Newbs Say the Stupidest Things”, I may as well just go with the flow. Most significant death of Jan 2022: Marlon Bundo the Bunny Rabbit

Sidney Poitier won an Oscar (and was the first black male to win one), 2 Golden Globes, a Grammy, and a BAFTA. He was knighted by the Queen, received a Kennedy Center Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a BAFTA Fellowship, was ranked in the top 25 best male actors ever by AFI. He broke the glass ceiling for people of colour in cinema, and was internationally renowned. Bob Saget was a mediocre comedian barely heard of outside the States who presented America’s Funniest Home Videos. How is he the most significant death of January 2022?

American geologist Leon Silver (wiki) supposedly dead at 96. Instructor to the astronaut crew of the ill-fated Apollo 13 (yeah, you're thinking of the Tom Hanks film, that's the one) ... as well as Apollo 15, 16 and 17.

Now that the GRO Index has been updated, I can reveal that Rose West's mum, Daisy Letts née Fuller died in the third quarter of 2020, just short of 101 (2–3 months before my post above). FULLER, DAISY GWENDOLINE 1919 GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2020 in HEREFORDSHIRE (511-1A) Entry Number 521079681

I think there's a (very remote) chance Golpaygani could get a QO. He called for a fatwa against Shahin Najafi, who is a popular rapper not just in Iran but internationally. He now lives in exile in Germany and tours the States occasionally. Unlikely though, as today hasn't been a slow news day, plus the obit writers have had a big backlog recently.

The Sun, Daily Mail for Bob Wall. Could've been yet another quick hit. There's a lesson here... octogenarian Hollywood types are always safer bets than obscure centenarian Iranian clerics.

Time for a look at who's dead/alive from the Enter the Dragon (1973) cast. Bruce Lee 1940–1973 John Saxon 1936–2020 Jim Kelly 1946–2013 Ahna Capri 1944–2010 Shih Kien 1913–2009 Bob Wall 1939–2022 Angela Mao 1950– Betty Chung 1947– Geoffrey Weeks 1922–1974 Yang Sze 1946– Peter Archer 1948–2000 Jackie Chan 1954– also had an uncredited cameo Sad times. A favourite of mine growing up.

Obit in Persian. Died from cardiac arrest, aged 102. Edit: Ninja'd by YW.

Does this make Terry Kilburn (wiki) the last living gay actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood?

Alice Beardsley born Alice McCarthy Beardsley on 28 Mar 1925 in Henrico County, Virginia married James Carroll in 1948 in Manhattan, New York was a noted artist in New York during the 1950s living in Pleasantville, New York in 1994 as Alice Beardsley Carroll no death record on Ancestry so she was at least living 10 years ago this would suggest that she's still alive, living in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, at the age of 96 – but these data harvesting sites are not always correct, they can often use outdated information from several years ago. I can't find anything for Helene Marshall but her ex-husband, actor George E. Marshall (IMDb, b. 1923) was likely still alive 10 years ago, so he could still be around. Suzi Crandall I think IMDb have her DOB wrong as nothing matches that with her surname on Ancestry (though "Crandall" could just be a stage name). According to this newspaper clipping, she was living in North Hollywood in 1959 and she was originally from the east coast of America. In 1961, she was still living in Los Angeles, but was then working as a hostess/model. That's all I can find.

Geoffrey Ashe MBE (wiki) dead at 98 according to this tweet: Guaranteed a QO. Sadly not picked in the DDP though.
