    Death Anniversary Thread

    Six years since one of the great modern character actors, Lupe Ontiveros, put the Lemon Pledge down for the last time aged 69. She played a maid or cleaning lady in at least 150 films or TV shows.

    Not any more she isn't. Chiyo Miyako dead at 117.

    Names we dislike

    Isn't it an anglicisation of the Italian name Giannina?

    Andy Fordham Memorial Darts Thread

    Literally just beat me to that. Wayne Mardle was asked to give a reaction to it live on Sky and he'd clearly never met the cunt. Bristow's best mate in darts, apparently.

    Hospitalised!

    Thick-thighed pop closet case Demi Lovato hospitalised with a heroin overdose.

    Britney Spears, Kerry Katona, Heather Locklear et al.

    Should have gone in activists for her love of tearing foxes up tbh.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2019

    Bored googling seems to suggest he was the first person to use the phrase "too old for Hamlet, too young for Lear" in print.

    Activists

    June Jacobs, leading British campaigner for Jewish rights, dead at 88. Caused a minor incident in 1989 when she met with Yasser Arafat adviser Bassam Abu Sharif.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Five years to the day Emile Griffith died aged 75. Bisexual, killed a guy in the ring, was beaten up by a gang for his sexuality, spent his final days in poverty and racked with dementia, and yet there's still no movie about him.

    And now he's dead. Still the best shoot interview in history.

    Brickhouse Brown is in hospice care now according to Meltzer, has apparently lost 100 pounds since being diagnosed with cancer.

    Tom 'DFS Leatherette Sofa' Jones

    Bacterial infection, to be precise.

    The Dead of 2018

    Adrian Cronauer, the DJ played by Robin Williams in "Good Morning, Vietnam", dead at 79. Would have been a perfect fit for the theme team I considered this year but didn't have time to research: still living people played by now-dead actors in movies.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Apparently Father Thomas Keating is currently in hospice care. Should have a decent shot at a QO: he was one of the key proponents of the "centering prayer" movement, a kinda Christian take on meditation that is pretty controversial in some ecclesiastic circles. A 2014 documentary about him got reviews in most major American news outlets.

    Similarly Gary Albright is the only dead person to win a professional wrestling match.

    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    MIAs are allowed, it's just we need proof that they died in 2018 not 2017. Which, you know, in any missing person case will not be the outcome.

    Reality TV

    Blows my mind that in 2014 an American TV station decided to build a reality TV show around Caprice. Yeah, that Caprice. Anyway, her Ladies of London co-star Annabelle Neilson - who was also a minor aristocrat and friends with Kate Moss, apparently - dead at 49.
