Qualifying Obit for Shyam Benegal https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/dec/24/shyam-benegal-indian-director-parallel-cinema-dies

He will probably be on a lot of teams since he was a fan of Hawk Tuah Girl, and might have been one of the investors who got rug pulled. That could be a lot to handle emotionally at his age.

I think 21st Century American Sitcom actors, directors, etc. should have their own thread. Here are some possible candidates for the DL 2016 June Squibb-b 1929 Charecter actress who has been around forever has achieved her biggest accolades in the 21st century.Aside from her work in the Oscar nominated comedy Nebraska she has guest starred or recurred in such popular shows of the day such as Glee,Curb Your Enthusiam,Two and a Half Men,Girls and Mike&Molly. Seems to have landed her first ever series regular gig on the current cult comedy The Jack and Triumph Show. George Coe-b 1929 Charecter actor who has been around for ever and was even a cast member on the 1st episode of Saturday Night Live,but his most well known role will be as the voice of much abused butler Woodhouse in the Animated Comedy Archer. Notably he has cut back on the amount of episodes he voiced last season. Jerry Stiller -b 1927 Is most well known for the recurring role of George's dad on Seinfeld or for being the real life dad of movie star Ben Stiller,but the only gig as a series regular for his entire career was for the sitcom The King Of Queens which 7 of the 9 years the show ran was in the 21st century. Doris Roberts-b 1925 Emmy winner for starring in the annoying sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, 5 of the 9 years the series aired in the 21st century Natasha Lyonne-b 1979 The Orange Is The New Black star has a long history of an off and on addiction to heroin. Has been clean for a few years now but Heroin is something even people who have been off of for decades can end up going back to (See Phillip Seymour Hoffman) Richard Erdman-b 1925 The guy has been doing guest spots on tv and bit parts in movies since the 1940's and while it's likely he could best be remembered for his role in The Twilight Zone episode "A Kind Of Stopwatch" his biggest success in his career has been landing the semi regular role of Leonard on the current sitcom Community which he has appeared in over half the series episodes Shelley Berman-b 1925 Comedian and Broadway actor who's had guest spots on tv all the way back to the 50's . Most notable tv role is for the Emmy nominated performance as Larry David's father on the series Curb Your Enthusiam Liz Torres-b 1947 Has been working in tv and broadway since the 60s Her most famous role is as Miss Patty on Gilmore Girls. Was obese on GG but recently lost a ton of weight, kinda reminds me of how the recently deceased Dusty Rhodes looked after weight loss in her recent pictures Conchata Ferrell- b 1943 The actress who plays Charlie Sheen's housekeeper on the series Two And A Half Men turns 73 next year. At her weight a high risk for a heart attack but especially at that age it can't be good to be that obese

Abdullah The Butcher Alma Rossa Aguirre Bill Dundee Chuck Howley Eleonora Giorgi Emma Bonino Estanislao Esteban Karlic George Ariyoshi George Eastham Isabel Peron Joan Plowright Jose Mujica(joker) Lee Meriwether Loi Ejercito Marthe Cohn Maurice "Hank" Greenberg Oscar Wyatt Richard Rohmer Robert Wyatt Roberta Flack Sidney Kibrick Sophie Kinsella Tinto Brass Um Aing-ran Violeta Chamorro subs Alan Oppenheimer Marly Sarney Jose Sarney Genichiro Tenryu Kitty Bruce

due to the death of Jody Gormley, Chuwit Kamolvisit now on the main team and adding Peter Yarrow to the subs bench

So the Fake Flexer/Troll/Performance Artist "HardRock Nick" might actually have passed away last month. All the weight loss the last 2 years which looked like Ozempic might have been due to some illness.
