Thank you @Sir Creep My new dress for the spring

One of them is reincarnated...

Oh, look at the bottom left: "TOT" means "dead" in German! An Omen?

German actress Ingrid van Bergen fell in her own house and broke her hip. She underwent an operation at the beginning of the week and then has to go to rehab. The article says that she is fine, but is this just the beginning of the end? 11 years ago she became the oldest winner of IACGMOOH (German version) at the age of 77! https://www.n-tv.de/leute/Ingrid-van-Bergen-liegt-im-Krankenhaus-article21594365.html

6:21 CET, so it's after midnight in NYC: Happy 70th Birthday, Genesis P-Orridge!

Oh dear, I missed Christopher Tolkien for Deathray! Sorry! That means 5 hits for each by now: Deathray, The Mad Hatter and Vaagheid. DL still 3 hits. Please tell me if I missed a hit. Thanks! Henry Gray for theoldlady btw

There are several others still alive, I guess. But the problem for them is getting a qo. Blacky Fuchsberger didn't get a qo in 2014, even if he was a big star in Germany, staring in various Edgar Wallace movies and hosted various legendary TV shows. It seems to me like the English press is ignoring Germans (related to qo). Latest examples are writer Gudrun Pausewang and politician Manfred Stolpe. I'm really upset about it, still.

First hit for me here with veteran German actress Sonja Ziemann.

Yes, I'm really upset about it!!! Just checked my other candidates, haha!!!

Ok, that's a good idea! What do @YoungWillz and @Death Impends think about it? And I will replace Pearl Carr with Pamela Sharples, Baroness Sharples. 1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Baroness Pamela Sharples 1924: Budge Patty + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Damn! Both of them faked their age! So... should I replace her with another woman born in 1923 or should this game now run out slowly?

Trebek. He's in my team. I need points.

At least I was right about Kirk

What about this year? I guess they will start with Doris Day and end with Kirk Douglas.

First hit after 1,5 years. Hooray

Like Zsa Zsa Gabor in 2016: Dropping from the No.1 to the No.2 spot = dropping dead.

You're absolutely right. Kirk for everyone, even for the Committee So no changes.

Congratulations! With Kirk gone now I only have Suzy Delair left.

Interesting that Olivia is one of the favorites now after beeing ignored* by most of the voting rounds before. *or never had double figures! I voted for Tom Smith.

OMG, how could that happen? Death of a DL legend!

Oh dear, really sad news.

Yes, I also will vote for Tom Smith.

So the new score looks like: Book: 19 Bibliogryphon: 18 Death Impends: 11 Sean: 9 FixedBusiness: 6 Torva Messor: 3 Squonk: 2 Young Willz: 2 Joey Russ: 1 Hits since the latest update: 63.

Daniel arap Moi is a second hit for the DL-Committee and a hit for several others: Deathray, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, nantonian2013, The Mad Hatter, theoldlady, ThereWillBeDeaths7 and TomTomTelekom. The Mad Hatter now catches up with Vaagheid, both 4 hits.

Daniel arap Moi is a hit for me, hehe!!! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/03/obituaries/daniel-arap-moi-dead.html 1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Pearl Carr 1924: Budge Patty + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos
