    Marsha Hunt played Bobby Driscoll's mum in The Happy Time (1952). Driscoll died 54 years before Hunt.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    Two Australians to consider... Steve Mortimer, OAM, halfback rugby player, born in 1956. He played for Canterbury-Bankstown. In 2008, he was named one of the 100 best Australian rugby league players of all time. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, and his brother Pete is quoted to have said that health problems have accelerated his dementia. Namely, heart attack, pneumonia & bronchitis in the past 3 years. Michael Milton, OAM, the most successful Australian Winter Paralympics athlete ever with 11 medals to his name, starting in 1992 in Albertville. He was born in 1973. He has only one leg and was the Lareus World Sports Awards winner in the disability category in 2003. That year, he broke the record from 1987 of the fastest disabled skier. He also broke a national cycling record in 2007. He represented Australia in the Summer Olympics in Beijing in that sport. In 2013, he broke the world record for the fastest marathon runner in crutches, in 5 hours and 23 minutes. In 2018, another world record but for the distance 5 km in 32 minutes. Health-wise, he got bone cancer when he was 9, which left him with only one leg. In 2007, he got oesophageal cancer. In October 2023, he got cancer for a third time, this time bowel cancer.

    Man, the committee deserves some kind of medal if they, after snubbing her year after year after year, were to get a hit with her on their first attempt.

    Sorry dude, I actually hadn't thought of that. I do like the sentiment of such a record happening organically. I'm sure there will be other opportunities, as I'm sure the committee will pick a lot of dullards in the future.

    Does he have one of the most modest Wikipedia pages ever for a DeathList entry? His biography isn't very long (no personal life, childhood??), there's only 3 references, 2 of which are for the same damn site. And there's that unsightly box right above the article text basically whining that it ain't up to scratch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Starmer-Smith

    Multiple? Try once, in my case. You sent me an email, even though I don't play this game anymore. I don't know who the fuck made you in charge of the DDP, but leave me out of it ya tosser.

    Actress 韦伟 died on 2 November at the age of 101. She was best known for her role in 小城之春. May she rest in peace. https://m.sohu.com/a/733189905_114941

    French speaking deathlist

    Damn, 101. One of the very first suggestions I ever made on this forum was Micheline Presle, back in 2012. I sure know how to pick 'em, bet she'll live for another decade.

    In the box on the right, it says that one of Mickey Rooney's many conquests wives Elaine Devry died on 20 September 2023. But I dunno if there is an obituary, also the lead text doesn't have that death date written. By the looks of it, she had a pretty decent career, with lots of credited roles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Devry

    Funny you should say that. I mentally changed your name to Y because that's what I ask myself whenever I read the drivel that you post.

    Haha, yeah it was just a jibe at the Twitter name change. Predictor is too sacred for me to actually wanna change it.

    Bob Barker

    God: ...That's odd, I just spotted that talented musician Tom Parker up here in Heaven. But he was so young, what happened? Angel: Have you already forgotten? You were bored one day and wanted to play a game of Chinese whispers with all the angels. Whoever it ended up with would have their fate sealed. God: Oh my Go...I mean self. No wonder I never run into Bob Barker around these parts. Hahahaha oh well, no harm no foul, innit?

    ...Umm, thank you for your input, person who I've never ever seen in my life. I'll be sure to take your feedback onboard because I care so much about your opinion. Are you one of those single thread posters? Look, here's the thing. When you like or react to any post, you get a notification. It's a form of communication and thus affects me. Would you like it if someone constantly rang the doorbell only to say that they liked something mundane you said 9 years ago? Bet you wouldn't. But ok, I'll give Diego the benefit of the doubt in this case. Maybe he's a big piano fan and there are huge rivalries in the piano world, and her death filled him with such joy because he's...I dunno lets say an Elton John fanboy, that he just had to press like because there's one less enemy? Maybe even opened a nice bottle of champagine from the basement to celebrate? Who knows? But really, I'm semi-retired anyways so I really don't want to revisit whatever old dross I may have posted over the years. New guideline: If an old post of mine either made you laugh or looks to have been ambitious (long list/some sort of "project"), then ok, like away. If not, then don't.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    I listened to some of his livestreams (not attentively all the way through tho) on Facebook when doing research for my DDP 2022 team. This was because information about his health was not in print anywhere. My impression at the time was that he seemed like a chill person, but it seems that he's more sinister than I thought. Kind of reminds me of Big Ed from 90 Day Fiance now, not least due to name, physically stature and creepiness. Funnily, this breaking news just made his obitability shoot through the roof. No way he won't get a QO now. A headline dream basically.
