Former Celtic striker Frank McGarvey dead at 66 (on January 1st).

Someone seems to be updating his Instagram account quite regularly. He sounds well in this video, which was posted about a week ago. However, we can only really see his face in it. He also seems to be using a wheelchair from time to time, at least according to this picture. It's hard to tell how often he uses it based on the selection of photos posted on Instagram. Edit: Actually, that may not even be a wheelchair. Whoops... My bad! My gut feeling is that Wagner will probably get to 2024, but the year just began, he's pushing 93, and he could have some serious health issues that we're not aware of. So, overall, this is a decent pick.

Rest in peace. I wonder how long he would have lived had he not retired, especially given that his retirement lasted longer than his reign as pope.

Oh, for Falk's sake! I am afraid you may also be showing early signs of Alzheimer's.

Rest in peace, Barbara Walters. You were a legendary news anchor and journalist. Funnily enough, this is always the first interview I associate with her name. It's a short segment, but it's pretty iconic.

Some potential ideas... Eva Marie Saint Maggie Smith Warren Buffett Vladimir Putin Pat Robertson Stanley Baxter Noam Chomsky Buzz Aldrin Roman Polanski Liza Minnelli Ozzy Osbourne Alain Delon Françoise Hardy Michael Caine

I cannot imagine this doing his aged mother any favors, either. Do we think they'll go in quick succession?

Seen handing out cash at Malibu Labor Center. Still looking strong and mobile, besides some visible eye redness.

New (one-hour-long) video from yesterday:

Unfortunately, Stanisław Kowalski passed away at 111.

Recently acquitted of anti-Semitic remarks. And here's a video from 2 days ago (November 5, 2021): You can compare it to this one (from January 7, 2021): I think he deteriorated a lot (physically) and it shows in the way he speaks, but he still seems sharp.

Recent interview:

Looks like they really wanted him to reach 100, so I think he will. I'm not sure how much further he'll go, though.

Worth keeping for the 2021 list?

Alain Delon's health has been deteriorating for quite some time. It was looking bad for him earlier this year. I think he's notorious enough to make the 2021 list.

I guess he feels A LOT better since his recent hospitalization...

She seems to be doing well. I wonder how recent the clip showing her is because this video is 1 week old.

He basically says that the current situation is potentially a warning sign of WWIII. Confined, but in good health, Jean-Marie Le Pen worriedly observes France's current situation. According to him, the global economic crisis will lead to many global social crises that will cause "torrents of people" to migrate to the "Occidental Eldorado." The first question asks him about the veracity of the rumors about him contracting the coronavirus and being placed in an intensive care unit. He denies them, calls them "fake news," and says that the confinement doesn't bother him, but rather gives him free time to read, write, and be with his wife. He says that globalization has always been a dangerous utopia, but that pandemics like the current one existed long before globalization had even become a thing.

Most likely, he is being cautious and choosing to avoid recording his weekly journal de bord. But who knows? I remember a few sessions that were done via Skype. I just checked, and those were 488, 489, and 490.

^There have been so many recent messages that I expected Jimmy Carter to be on his deathbed with a couple of weeks to live at best.

Yesterday, Le Pen talked about Coronavirus and how he has known worse epidemics since 1673. At 1:47, he exhaled like a dying person. Based on his overall condition, he might see 2021. But who knows? At that age, anyone is prone to... death, I guess. https://youtu.be/FSTe2klPbEA?t=105

I do agree with everyone who finds it weird that a single article mentions Prince Philip being bedridden. I was only able to find another clickbaity article about that: The actual article says this: "The ill Philip, 98, has been bedridden at his cottage on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk after spending five days in hospital before Christmas." But then again, this was reported by the Sun and the Herald Sun, which are maybe affiliated.

I'll go with the ripe old age of 105 and the year 2021. So I'd say any month between July 2021 and December 2021. The lack of updates is what is deterring me from overreaching, but she always looks good on pictures. A broken hip is sometimes enough to seal the deal at her age, though. Early 2022 would not be unrealistic, but I did try to narrow down my prediction as much as possible. For some reason, she doesn't strike me as a future 106er. I want her to prove me wrong!

Prince Philip is "spitting blood" and fuming over his grandson's decision: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10719643/prince-philip-blasts-meghan-harry-decision-quit/. Aside from the mental stress, I noted this: "Frail Philip, who is now largely bed-ridden, has always been extremely close to Harry — and has been left “deeply hurt” at his decision to step back from duties." Queen Elizabeth II has ordered a private meeting with her grandchildren.
