Walter Kohn gone at 93. Quite a big one. https://chancellor.ucsb.edu/memos/?4.20.2016.Sad.News...Professor.Walter.Kohn

First person to appear in two episodes to die, Dora Bryan, Thora Hird and Eric Sykes all made guest appearances. Completely forgot Jack Smethurst was alive. Guest stars are not cast members...

First cast member of Dinner Ladies to die despite the fact some of them are into their 80s now.

Best take Mishaal vin Abulaziz Al Saud off the List of the Missed. Just one site mentions his death. All the other articles were removed. And a subsequent published news source mentions him leaving the palace and going on a trip, so I'm going to say his death was falsely reported.

I'm going to vote for George Kennedy.... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/29/george-kennedy-dies-91/

Lil Chris. Purely because I'm trolling and this thread is pointless as fuck.

Douglas Dick died on December 19th at the age of 95. Will be surprised if he wasn't picked on the DDP! http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=douglas-m-dick&pid=177183542&

You're welcome

Elmo Williams dead at 102. http://www.currypilot.com/News/Local-News/Brookings-Elmo-Williams-dies-at-age-102 Notably he was the last winner of the Academy Award for Best Editor from the Golden Age of Hollywood (1917-1960).

Who? Oh never mind. Didn't have my specs on earlier and when I saw the news in the breaking ticker I thought it said "Jonah Lewie". Now THAT would've been news!

Yes. Hopefully the dirty red Mitchell will be able to finally take a bath in the afterlife.

Havelange in a few weeks

I would suggest Lupita Tovar, Rhonda Fleming and Eva Marie Saint. We should be trying to catch as many of the actors/actresses from the Hollywood Golden Era as there are not an awful lot left.

Billy...

Read the interview with Lupita. Here, I will post it again: https://michaelgankerich.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/lupita-tovar-still-carrying-on/ She clearly states she did work in silent films. I've already read it. Point taken but I don't see that as concrete evidence. She could easily be referring to those early talkies that were screened as silents because the movie theatres couldn't produce sound. When I see the name of a film prior to 1929, with her credited as having starred in it, then I will add her. Until then, it's blurred lines.

Dickie Moore was the youngest known survivor of silent film, and he was the only person alive under the age of 90. Here's an updated list: Silent survivors: Mary Carlisle (b. Feb 1914) First role: 1923's "Long Live the King" Shep Houghton (b. Jun 1914) First role: 1927's "Underworld" Fay McKenzie (b. Feb 1918) First role: 1918's "Station Content" Diana Serra Cary (aka Baby Peggy b. Oct 1918) First role: 1921's "Her Circus Man" Dorothy Morrison (b. Jan 1919) First role: 1923's "The Champeen" Silas Hathaway (b. Mar 1919) First role: 1921's "The Kid" Louise Watson (b. Nov 1919) First role: 1928's "Taxi 13" (Talkie with silent sequences) Lassie Lou Ahern (b. Jun 1920) First role: 1923's "Call of the Wild" Jack Edwards (b. Sep 1920) First role: 1921's "I Do" Jane La Varne (b. Jul 1922) First role: 1927's "That's My Daddy" Billy Watson (b. Dec 1923) First role: 1928's "Taxi 13" (Talkie with silent sequences) Kathleen O'Malley (b. Mar 1924) First role: 1926's "My Old Dutch" Maria Riva (b. Dec 1924) First role: 1928's "Die gluckliche Mutter" (Documentary) Mildred Kornman (b. Jul 1925) First role: 1926's "Thundering Fleas" The following people did not appear in silent movies despite a misunderstanding they did: Lupita Tovar (b. Jul 1910) Appeared in 1929's "The Veiled Woman". The entire movie was shot in sound, though it may have been released in some movies without the sound playing because it was still a new technology by that point. Nanette Fabray (b. Oct 1920) Denied in an interview that she had ever appeared in a silent movie despite rumours persisting she had. Gloria DeHaven (b. Jul 1925) Appeared in a 1936 feature called "Modern Times" which is commonly referred to as "the last silent film" but was produced entirely in mono and made after the silent era.

Can somebody please check birth/death records to see if we still have Patricia Laffan with us? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Laffan Her wiki page has been edited countless times now to say she passed in 2014. One edit said she died around 11/03/14 in Chelsea. I'd be very shocked if her death has gone unnoticed altogether.
