Book

I saw "Nothing like a Dame" a few days ago. A documentary film (which was released in the German cinemas in April) full of DL-material! It's about the four British A-level theatre and movie actresses Dame Joan Plowright (*28.10.1929), Dame Eileen Atkins (*16.06.1934), Dame Judi Dench (*09.12.1934) and Dame Maggie Smith (*28.12.1934). Everyone seemed to be sharp and fit, except for a few small ailments. If I should rank them, in which order they die, I'd say... 1. Joan 2. Maggie 3. Judi 4. Eileen

Olivias brother, Dr. Hugh Newton-John, passed away on May 7th 2019 after many years of decline.

My condolences YW!

I`d say: Yes.

77th birthday of the fourth youngest DL pick of the year

No surprise, same here!

High profilic German character actress Hannelore Elsner died on Easter sunday at age 76. This is quite shocking and sad, her cancer diagnosis wasn`t made public before. https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/hannelore-elsner-ist-tot-a-1264063.html (German link)

Do you mean Fashion Icon Iris Apfel?
