Just my thoughts and other members maybe disagree… As already stated, nuch new in there. It’s the same basic plans that have been known for ages now but I imagine they will be subject to change depending on the circumstances. A LOT changed with Philip’s death owing to the pandemic. The only thing I can add is Her Majesty wants to die at Balmoral in Scotland, it being her most personal residence. I’d like to hear from @Windsor on this one…

#COMPRESSTHESIZEOFYOURFUCKINGPICTURES Has to be said, she doesn't look great. I think she'll get to 119 on January 2nd but not much further.

For completeness, BBC, Metro, Independent, Telegraph obit.

The above pic was taken in August 2015. Original tweet here.

His death was covered in their Spring issue on page 85 here. Date of death given as 16th November 2020, which matches the date given on IMDb.

Updated. Someone @ me when we get a date of death and a QO.

Need some help with one name who appeared in this issue. The date of death given was 4th November 2016 and the name is Jeanette Miller. Is this THE Jeanette Miller (b. 1932, wiki, IMDb) who appeared as Aunt Edie in The Middle, as well as Norbit, Legion, The Truman Show etc. and was active until 2015? It would appear so but I need some kind of linking evidence to get Wiki/IMDb updated appropriately.

It should be, because there's even a picture of the bloody grave but Wiki are so anti-FindAGrave. Hopefully SAG-AFTRA will include him in their list of departed entertainers in their autumn issue. Just been through their summer release. I will post a summary of the more notable names on it tomorrow. There's one or two off radar deaths on there, nobody particularly exciting though.

Arthur Chatto, the Queen's great nephew, is much hotter. He just joined the Marines 2 weeks ago, becoming the first British Royal to do so.

That’s exactly what @msc said…

Alexander Who?

Nope. Not even any coverage from Variety, the Hollywood Reporter etc. A big problem has arisen with Hollywood types lately – The Hollywood Reporter abandoned its obituaries section earlier this year, and when I've pinged them suggestions via the Tips page, they just get ignored by Mike Barnes (who is a bit of a dick and never responds; he writes the articles about celebs passing). It's clear that THR is now more interested in creating clickbait type content and woke nonsense focusing on controversial comments some star has made, or how represented black actors are on screen etc. They've abandoned their traditional style of being the single most dependable source for chronicling historic Hollywood and ensuring that those who worked in the industry for decades with 100s of credits do not die in obscurity. Sad really, but I think this is the start of a lot of passings in this field going unnoticed. Marcy McGuire, June Kenney, Larry Gelman probably won't get write ups elsewhere now, because THR haven't covered it from the onset in order to bring the news to the attention of other media. People may want to be careful for the DDP next year. I expect a lot of these Golden Age Hollywood types to die off radar now.

I did see the BBC clip of him “singing” on stage with Genesis the other day. Simply awful groaning. Please Lord, take him now.

Broken bones in legs, hands, feet. Pelvis fracture. She’ll live.

Daily Record first in with coverage. Supposedly suffered a stroke in March 2019, aged 57. Required full-time care from that point onwards. Nasty way to go.

Jorge Sampaio (wiki), President of Portugal (1996–2006), dead at 81.

The article was about a musician, and there is no generic music thread?

1) Albert Wilkinson (b. 1938) played an Oompa Loompa and is also still alive. His last credit on IMDb was as recent as 2017, and he does the panto circuit. 2) Why would they make a good "death pool" team? Themmen, Bollner etc. are only in their early 60s and still very active, attending lots of conventions. Peter Ostrum looks great in fact!

Did you not consider the fact that my intention was to give some n00b a heart attack?

Guarantee you if you're walking in or around Parliament Square/Westminster tube area around tea time/early eve, you'll see about half a dozen familiar political faces you know. It's really not hard to bump into these sorts when you live and work in central London.

I posted this on here at the time, but worth repeating. I saw Lamont walking round Hyde Park last year during lockdown. He looked healthy. I would exclude him for several years at least.

Amanda Holden dead.

Guardian obit for Olivia Jordan née Matthews, aged 102. WWII veteran who acted as a chauffeur and translator for Charles de Gaulle during his time in London.

Vera Fusek gets a Telegraph obit. Quite surprised, but pleasantly so.
