OK so this is not exactly the question you asked but it is now 77 days since Anna died but this is nothing compated to at least two other droughts which I have identified 28th Sept 2003 (Elia Kazan) - 20th March 2004 (Queen Juliana) - 174 Days 9th July 2011 (Betty Ford) - 07th December 2011 (Harry Morgan) - 151 Days To be fair though I think there is a distinct lack of celebrity deaths I have only had three since Anna Wing on my works game (Whicker, Smith & Frost) which has over 400 names on it. Thanks Bibliogryphon for answering this. You are right, the drought being experienced now is clearly nothing when compared to the above!

I know I could look this up for myself but I know that there are a lot of statisticians out there........ We've not had a hit on Deathlist since Anna Wing in early July - what are the Top 5 driest spells between one hit and another?

Mick Jagger sang Start Me Up at the beginning of the 1936 Olympiad and sat in Hitler's royal box as a guest. 7 years before he was born - how clever of him!

Those in the UK - Clive James giving interview on Channel 4 News at 7pm tonight.......

What exactly is "extreme" diabetes anyway? Surely it would be Type 1 (insulin required) or Type 2 (tablets required). Is there a different level of extremity reserved only for OJ?!......

Same as my vote from only 1 week ago - Ronnie Biggs!

Yes, it will definitely be his last 97th birthday!

One to watch - Parky has cancer! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/5001509/michael-parkinson-cancer.html

I've gone for Ronnie Biggs - he's been "surviving" with the aim of making the 50th anniversary of the robbery although I can see him falling just short of this date..........

A birthday today means Lindsay Lohan now qualifies for the 27 club!!

To answer your question, 100%, same goes for all life forms Love this response - very funny......

How about Nelson Mandeada!!

"That must be an old photo ....." Best part of this comment is that he isn't in the photo AT ALL - old or new.....!
