Paul Heller (wiki), the last of the three producers on Enter the Dragon (1973), dead at 93. Raymond Chow died in 2018 and Fred Weintraub died in 2017. Heller also worked as producer on Withnail and I (1987) and Academy Award-nominated My Left Foot (1989).

Ure is still with us. She lives in London according to StarTiger. 2006 interview here. In the comments section from June 2020: "That's my gran! And she's still going! Also, never seen this before!"

Deffo counts. Added! Genuinely surprised at how many we have on this list now. I do wonder if one or two have died off radar. It'll be great when the GRO gets updated to include all 2020 names.

Can the subheading of this thread be “Rehash all of your unoriginal ideas from 2021 and pretend we haven’t heard them before.”?

@The Daredevil, added all of them, but listed them with series that they appeared in multiple episodes of rather than one offs. @The Old Crem, Plowright... I can't find a single British series that she appeared in multiple times or had a starring role in so I've kept her off. Lansbury just scrapes in with Little Woman so added her, added Phillips as he's been in more TV than I thought he had! Caron is definitely not a British television actor by any stretch, just a one off import for a single series. Gerald Harper I already had but he was listed wrong alphabetically so changed that. Thanks both!

Discussed on here before I think. It’s doubtful. Just fell into obscurity.

Local obit.

Dead.

Very odd that all the Boxing reference sites have him listed as having died in 1991! Not the case of course as he was at the funeral of his brother a few years back.

Great work, cheers. I've added all of them apart from Larry Storch. He's a Hollywood actor and that minor appearance seems to be incidental and a one-off.

Not at all. Just need to have appeared in British TV shows and are 90+. Added both of them, cheers!

Updated for the death of Phyllis McGuire. Whole act now gone.

Merci. Updated etc. etc.

Ron Tauranac Telegraph obit. He’s still on the List of the Lost.

I will add that sometimes The Times do feature their full write up obituaries in the print version that, for whatever reason, are not available online until some time later. Would he tie the DDP record if we find it?

Added Geoffrey Chater, Ysanne Churchman, Pete Murray, Stanley Baxter, Gudrun Ure and David de Keyser.

1) Carlos Menem 2) Winnie Ewing 3) Mary Holt 4) Walt Brown 5) Tom Hughes (Australian politician) 6) Norman Scarth 7) Lester L. Wolff 8) Mustafa Ben Halim 9) Jacques Delors 10) Bob Dole Edit, 24 Feb 21: Wolff subbed, George Pearce removed as he died in 1992!

Thank you @The Old Crem and @msc, updated. I've also added Jack Hedley from Colditz and Who Pays the Ferryman? I've updated the list above and I'll stick it in a spoiler each time I quote it, because I know some people hate scrolling on here. Is there nobody born 1922/1923 still with us?

No way of being absolutely certain either way, but who takes their time to impersonate an obscure actor's son for the sake of changing their date of birth misleadingly? I believe it was his son. We've visited this several times now so I don't want to get bogged down on it again but a search on Scotland's People for a birth within Clackmannan in either 1925 or 1930 turns up nada. Hopefully an obit will clarify how old he actually was.

That’s very unlucky, and I don’t see it as some kind of poetic justice from his word. The mortality rate for his age group (20-44) is given as just ~0.1% in U.S. Gov statistics, and that includes those with underlying conditions. The idea that the elderly (60+) and vulnerable should shield whilst everyone else gets on with their lives makes sense to me. We don’t know much about his health record, he would have almost certainly had an underlying condition. Sadly he leaves behind a wife and two young children. The comments on that tweet are absolutely disgusting. I thought the trolls in the UK were bad.

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but thought we were overdue a masterlist for British television actors so went through a list of UK TV shows of the 60s–90s earlier and singled out all the actors turning 90+ in 2021.

Speaking of, where is this bloody BBC Famous Deaths in 2020 reel? They used to post it on Christmas Day.

No more.

Fine I think. He had loads of shows scheduled for 2020 but they were cancelled because of the pandemic. Here he is singing a Vera Lynn tribute in May: https://fb.watch/2H1ONSr9ls/

I would have thought so. If you go to the Axis History Forum, there's some discussion of him there. A lot of the historians there are in touch with former Waffen SS/Heer/Luftwaffe personnel, and they're generally pretty quick to report deaths. He was reported to be suffering from dementia in 2015... but what does that mean? We're watching famous names on DL who have had dementia for 10+ years. My hunch is on either living or recently deceased and yet to be flagged up.
