Despite claiming that he's 128 (lol), the Indian Government still awarded him the Padma Shri in 2022. India is not a serious country.

Dame Sheila Hancock could be added to the “unsinkable” column.

Al-Tufayli is an ally of the west and has since condemned Hezbollah, which he co-founded. He was expelled in 1998. I would be shocked if he was targeted in any way.

I sure wouldn't want to be Abu Ali Rida right now...

IDF reporting that Ali Karaki (wiki), commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front, and also Iranian brigadier general Abbas Nilforoushan (wiki) also killed. Awaiting confirmation from the other side I guess.

Sounds like Whoopi is telling a big fat whopper if you ask me. I’d be impressed if she can spell “Barbara Barrie” frankly.

I intentionally didn’t list background characters/extras. “Dimpled woman on train” is not interesting.

Glover will. The others are too far off to tell. Gemma Jones looked quite good in Wicked Little Letters this year, but she's "only" 82.

Well dinnng dong!

Pappammal or whatever she’s called dead according to various news organisations. Out at pub so someone else please post a link.

2024 has hardly been a big year for deaths all round. In fact, it’s hard to think of a quieter year. Also, there have been very few (if any) shock deaths this year. A shock death being like a Heath Ledger, Chadwick Boseman, Natasha Richardson.

JEJ had the most iconic role out of all of them (Vader) but arguably Smith had more notable roles overall. What’s confusing you @Gisooo ?

So who's going to get the iconic spot at the end of TCM Remembers this year? Maggie Smith, Donald Sutherland or James Earl Jones?

Updated. No living cast members 90+ – closest is Julian Glover, 89.

Well yeah cos I'm not the sad weirdo in the corner of the kitchen telling everyone that Jimmy Carter will turn 100 in 4 days and 3 hours!

Just as well I’m not a mod on here. I’d lock this thread 5 mins before his birthday so that all the obsessive idiots would have to confine their Carterbation to other platforms.

She detested her as a child because she didn't want her father to remarry after her mother died. The irony being now Madonna is an adult (at least physically) but can't hold down a single relationship cos she's a total boot.

Didn't spot this until now but Jean Turco carried the Olympic flame in July. 107 in December. Should comfortably make that. Now in the top 20 oldest living men in France.

Incredible. Thank you!

Beatriz H. C. Aicardi de Neuhaus is deceased as per this page. Doesn't say when.

Or a "Jimmy Carter thing"?

pervert noun a person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable. Well he's exactly that. I'm not retracting the word. I think it's very fitting for him, even if he has to share it with some worse humans.

I'm saying I don't believe him, based on the rumours that were circulating openly online and what I was told by people in the media. Even if he didn't break the law, not every pervert or reprobate is a criminal. They're wide terms and opinion based. For example, I'm entitled to my opinion that the man who shagged Janey Godley and produced a child with that she-beast, is a pervert.

Really? You really believe that? I would suggest you know absolutely nothing about his case. He first met the lad when he was 15, gets him a job on telly (to satisfy his own ulterior motives). Now it's confirmed that they were in a relationship from the time he was 18 onwards, but come on... The person concerned has no interest in going to the police and probably won't cooperate with them so this whole thing didn't go any further. If you ask me I think he got lucky. The whole thing stinks. Also let's not forget that Schofield did all this whilst pretending to be straight, whilst lying to his family, to the public, and not to mention his totally hypocritical moment of handing over a list of alleged pedos to David Cameron live on telly without a shred of evidence (most of the names on that list btw turning out to be innocent). Why are you defending this man?

Ruby Chappelle Boyd (wiki) American librarian. Born March 18, 1919 in Philadelphia (so 105 if still with us). Received media coverage in 2009 aged 90 and in 2010 aged 91. So what the hell happened to her? No trace anywhere, and this one is really bugging me.
