Not quite. Shep Houghton (away to turn 100, read on a silent movie forum somebody there contacted him recently), Ann Bupp (b 1922), Dirk Wayne Summers (b 1931) and Tommy Kelly (b 1925) are about. They all had minor roles though.

Congrats to her.Sadly only 4 women have lived to be 117 so I think that means there's a 60 % chance that she's just had her last birthday Said leading gerontologist Guest_guest

Problemo - Loni Nest's death is being reported as being a complete hoax. http://monsterkidcla...e-Golem?page=-1 (second comment down) This seems to be becoming an ever more increasingly frequent problem recently with obscure or long-forgotten celebs being reported dead erroneously or just complete fabrications being produced... The comment says she apparently died in Europe "years ago". I see she's already been declared dead on DDP. What happens in a situation like this? EDIT: FindAGrave, IMDb and Wikipedia all have her as dead, plus all her "life details" from the original obituary added. Quite worrying if this is a hoax. Massive problem with memorial pages I suppose.

If a full scale war breaks out, I hope you go first.

No they're not. And Tovar wasn't a silent film actress...

Loni Nest ist TOT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loni_Nest Somebody care to do an updated list? Must be rather short now.

Noted pianist/world's oldest Holocaust survivor Alice Herz-Sommer has eventually given up the ghost at 110. Took her time. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/family-alice-herz-sommer-believed-worlds-oldest-holocaust-22640451

Dickie Davis, a pick on the DDP this year for several teams, died in 1999 according to Wiki (sourced though). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickie_Davis

What a vile remark to make. Even if you don't agree with the decisions that IDS has made in his position, what role did his mother play in any of it? Stay away from your keyboard and stop posting shite you odious cretin.

Banning guests from posting should have been DL's New Year resolution...

Sad news.One of the more decent political journalists .Why couldn'tte be one of the many right wing bastards? RIP Oh go and take a shower you red bastard!

Boom! Alicia Rhett dead at 98 (apparently actually born 1915). http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/movies/238671641.html

Hear, hear!

Are you Biggs son, close relative or a fraud ? Critical Divide is the real deal representing Ron. No one (except Ron and any other surviving members of the gang) knows who actually beat up Jack Mills and David Whitby. I'm sure CriticalDivide can confirm that. Whatever happened to the other gang members anyway they dead or some still alive ? Very sad what happened to jack mills his life was ruined. Out of the 17 people who got a share from the Great Train Robbery, 4 are dead, 3 were never caught, and the rest are believed to be alive (They might've faded into obscurity and died without anyone noticing.) In Order of Importance: Bruce Reynolds - Leader - Alive Douglas "Gordon" Goody - Deputy - Alive Charles F. Wilson - Treasurer - Died 1990 Ronald C. Edwards - Organizer - Died 1994 Brian A. Field - Informant and purchaser of gang's hideout - Died 1979 "Ulsterman" - Informant and organizer - Unknown Roy James - Getaway Driver - Died 1997 John Daly - Train stopper - Alive Bill Jennings - Carriage uncoupler - Alive James E. White - Quartermaster and carriage uncoupler - Alive "Alf Thomas" - Muscle - Unknown Roger J. Cordrey - Train stopper and electronics expert - Alive Bob Welch - Organizer and muscle - Alive Thomas Whisbey - Muscle - Alive James Hussey - Muscle - Alive "Frank Munroe" - Muscle - Unknown Ronnie Biggs - Found someone who could drive the train after the robbery - Alive (Barely) It might be worth revisiting this list for DDP purposes. Douglas Goody will get a newspaper mention when he dies. He's been saying he will name the Ulsterman. That could be interesting. That article says John Daly died in May. Thames Valley Police website has interesting bios for all the robbers. All are marked as deceased bar Goody, Welch and Wisbey. http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-museum/aboutus-museum-gtr/aboutus-museum-gtr-gang.htm Many articles on the net state that Goody is "very ill". Perhaps a more justifiable replacement for Biggs?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/great-train-robbery-meet-man-1980741 According to this article, there are "believed" to be only 3 great train robbers now left - Wisbey, Welch and Goody. Question is then, what the bloody hell happened to the few that are unaccounted for? i.e. Daly, Jennings, White, Cordrey, Leonard Field and Wheater Can only find death details for 8 thus far - Boal, Brian Field, Wilson, Edwards, James, Hussey, Reynolds and Biggs

Havelange, why not
