I think it's safe to assume that @Lafaucheuse is receiving commission from Le Monde.
Apparently other good French publications are non-existent (Le Figaro, Ouest France, Le Parisien, La Croix).- 5

Turns out Scotland's Alexander McAllister (wiki) was never the world's oldest living first class cricketer. He died off radar in Sunningdale, Berkshire on 29 January 2008, aged 87!
Both Cricket Archived and the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians have updated their profiles for McAllister to reflect this, and his record is in the GRO Index.
The fact that McAllister is long dead means there are no known centenarian first class cricketers currently living – this is quite rare. William Faulkner (b. 1923, wiki) COULD still be alive, but there's no evidence. Arjunrao Bharbhare (b. Jul 1924, wiki), John Stenton (b. Oct 1924, wiki) and P. M. Anandan (b. Dec 1924, wiki) are the next three names on my "possibly living" list.
The oldest first class cricketer definitely still alive that I know of? Probably Basil Rigg (b. 1926, wiki).- 1

1 hour ago, maryportfuncity said:She has huge debts from his care - summat she'll discuss in the documentary
Horse shit.
She earns shit tons as a presenter, not to mention the numerous gigs she's got elsewhere. What she means is the bill has been piling up and now she needs to pay it. That's what she means by "debt" but she knows fine well that most people will understand it as her being in financial trouble and unable to pay. Another sop story to keep the headlines going and to keep the dollars rolling in. I'll give her credit where due, she's graduated with first class honours from the "Katie Price and Nolan Sisters School of Media Milking".- 3

Thank you. All added, including Georges Rivière, even though I think that's a bit of a risk.

Updated with all the suggestions given to me. That's a pretty long list. I didn't think there were nearly as many living centenarians with acting credits.
Thank you @Gisooo.
I've updated and also just added the Class of 1924 (23 names in total).
Additions welcome!- 2

24 minutes ago, alt obits guy said:I can't speak to the direct issue of whether Jane Morgan is dead or not. However, the oldtimemusic.com website was registered in 1997 and by all accounts appears legit.
Doesn't mean that they're not now employing AI tools to write their articles.
Clicks = money. -

The first link appears to be a bot site.
The problem with these bot sites is that they're now starting to look like genuine news sites, because
1) the AI tools are getting smarter, and they can compile articles that read like a human
2) so much of the clickbait news pieces written by humans actually sound bot-like themselves!
Jane Morgan had #1 hits. She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which she laid not all that long ago. She's not going to die off radar.- 2

Judith Hemmendinger (wiki) German-born Israeli researcher and author, supposedly died 24 March, aged 100.
Specialised in child survivors of the Holocaust and awarded Frances Legion of Honour in 2003.
A pick on one or two pools on here if I'm not mistaken. -
I would agree she doesn't belong on the list. Lives mainly in Geneva. She has another residence close to my aunt in London. The place in the French Alps sounds like a place where she goes on holiday.
I have a time share in Tenerife. I'm not fucking Spanish. -
I'm at the stage now where I think we should just take Jimmy Carter out.
We need someone who they'll never suspect though.
What's Lady Cecilia Bartholemew up to these days?

Happy 104th birthday to Graham Bailey!

George Haigh, 103, Stockport County
William Simpson, 102, Carlisle Utd.
Wilf Nixon, 102, Fulham

Harry Clark, 100, Gateshead

You should be facepalming yourself @TQR.
I've known Eddie for 20 years. He used to openly admit that he wore women's clothes for entertainment purposes and because it gave him a thrill. Now he's on this "I'm a bloke but call me her" wagon, which in my opinion makes a complete mockery of people who are genuinely transgender. So yes, it's "he", and HE is a pervert in a frock. Nothing more.
