Olivia is definitely THE pick I'm saddest about when she dies, really

We are so proud of you, son!

Vaagheid has won the DL Prediction Game 2019! Congratulations!

We do have our first winner of 2019 without any doubt – because he is 21 points ahead of the second place! It is our former DL Prediction Game-host @Vaagheid! Congratulation! Well played! This is the scoreboard: +73 Vaagheid +52 Book +50 Phantom of the Midway +45 YoungWillz +44 msc +26 nantonian2013 +19 gcreptile -3 Joey Russ -7 Deathray -11 theoldlady -15 The Old Crem -30 WhoamI @The Mad Hatter: Sorry, your entry was too late But you would have scored 28 points. I would like to thank every participant of this little game. Thanks for entering! I hope I did not miscalculate, but you are welcome to recalculate :

One of the bedblockers finally has to go now, so I say Kirk Douglas.

Hopefully, so that the DL finally gets a new No. 1 after 3 years!!!

She should have been on the DL!

Third No. 1 for Kirk Douglas? A little boring imo. No Pope? That's shocking.

Right. I will post the results on New Year's Day or maybe on January 2nd so that we will have the first winner of the year!

Spade, I sent you 3 teams! Thanks and all the best to you!!!

The subs for June Whitfield and Simon Ricketts stepped in for 3 teams. Btw my own prediction is finished since the first entry by msc. I swapped some positions but no persons.

Yes!

Happy 72nd birthday, dear Marianne Faithfull! I really adore her! By the way her last album "Negative Capability" is quite nice. No musical relevation and not in harmony with his predecessor (the great "Give my love to London"), but still nice to listen to. Unfortunately there are 3 re-recordings of old (Marianne-Faithfull-) standards, which are totally superfluous. Instead of the re-recordings I would have liked 3 more new songs. About her health... she never really recovered from her broken hip and her gone bad rehabilitation. She sits, smokes, puts on weight and relies on a walking stick

And he certainly answered: "Who are you talking about?"

Since Richard Overtons passed away, someone's sub has to step in. Entries are still welcome

Here you are! @Deathray 01. Bibi Johns 02. Christiane F. 03. Claus von Bülow 04. Cleo Laine 05. Estelle Parsons 06. Gina Lollobrigida 07. Gotthilf Fischer 08. Hannelore Minkus 09. Hans-Jochen Vogel 10. Isabel Perón 11. Jimmy Carter 12. Margot Leonard 13. Maria Riva (Wildcard) 14. Maria Sebaldt 15. Mario Adorf 16. Michel Piccoli 17. Mikis Theodorakis 18. Monica Vitti 19. Ottfried Fischer 20. Peter Mark Richman 21. Ralf Wolter 22. Rolf Eden 23. Rosalynn Carter 24. Sonja Ziemann 25. Val Kilmer Subs: Rosamunde Pilcher Iris Apfel Helmut Berger

Thank you all for entering! Looking forward for the rest of you

Maybe they gave each other the last rites...

A little reminder! Please send me your prediction of what you think the DL will look like! Who knows the Committee best? You can also send me your shadow list or other constellations as long it's a Top 50. My own prediction isn't completed yet so don't worry. We are still in time!

I am just stumbling over that American actress Sylvia Miles is a little older than I ever thought. Some sources say that she is born in 1923 or 1924 instead of 1932, what would make her 94 or 95 by now. Pretty old age...

She actually lives there permanently.

You really cannot win EVERY competition! #justicefor20:20

Same here, still a tie 12:12
