She was the first person to receive the first corona vaccination administered in Germany in December 2020: Edith Kwoizalla, who was 101 years old at the time. She died on June 9, 2024 at the age of 105. In 2022, she was ranked 49th on our D-A-CH list, so she is to be seen as another miss https://www.abschied-nehmen.de/traueranzeige/edith-kwoizalla

Looks like we do have hit No.8: German actor and voice actor Thomas Reiner has died on July 27th, 2024. The obituary was published yesterday: https://trauer.sueddeutsche.de/traueranzeige/thomas-reiner To be honest, I had never heard of him before he was suggested for the list.

Yes, I think he is totally overrated.

Sven-Göran Eriksson is out, Linda Tirado is in, Paul Harrell is new sub No.3. Thanks.

Ok, that was expressed strangely, of course I meant the No.1 spot.
