George Layton with David Graham who suffered a stroke earlier this year but is back doing voice over work from home

Would you describe him (for you)as the least recognisable of the surviving 2021 DL picks?

It does ring a bell and there were a couple of names that did not meet the criteria but he didn't seem to be on the entries list which he would have been even if I had disallowed him

Not a Scavenger Hunt Pick.

When trying to compile another list of earliest award winners I was looking at Romantic novelists and came across the wikipedia entry for Katharine Gordon who wrote The Emerald Peacock and Peacock in Flight. Wikipedia gives her date of birth as 1916 but there is no date of death and no searches I have done for her have shown any. Considering she lived most of her life in India I am not sure where to start looking to see if she is genuinely still alive

Pope Benedict XVI

Whilst listing my wife's old vinyl albums on ebay I did discover that Bobby Hart who co-wrote many songs for The Monkees is still alive aged 82

Here is the latest version of the graph following the death of Bob Dole There is normally a space for an extra death in December

Maybe this might be enough to induce you to watch Blakes 7

I think the number one slot now can only be filled by Leslie Phillips

Congrats @Annami could be the decider

Please replace Bob Dole with Nichelle Nichols

December 18th

Currently reading The Book of Form & Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. Published earlier this year. Harry Belafonte gets a mention and one character asks if he is dead and another replies he is alive but very old.

Probably for the best. If she had reached 111 David Shepherd would be turning in his grave

@Yvonne is eliminated with the death of Ann Fortune Fitzroy, Duchess of Grafton Ben Ferencz.(Joey Russ) Loretta Ford (ThereWillBeDeaths7) Dominique Marcas (Lafaucheuse) Bill Pitman (Death Impends) Arnold Yarrow (Bibliogryphon) And then there were five.
