DL pick No. 8 June Brown celebrates her 95th birthday today

As Isabel Torres has died, I replace her with Sister Catherine Wybourne. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17622416/isabel-torres-dead-at-52/

But she represented Germany and got nul points

Mustafa Kayirici is a hit for my Shadow List. Thanks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10438133/Face-tattooed-ice-addict-Mustafa-Kayirici-brutally-raped-SEVEN-women-Sydney-dies-jail.html

One from our longlist: German opera and theatre director Hans Neuenfels has died yesterday at age 80. https://kurier.at/kultur/theater-und-opernregisseur-hans-neuenfels-gestorben/401897675

I have 2 early hits with Leonard Fenton and Monica Vitti.

Oh, the picture of Chris D'Elia shows Penn Badgley, not Chris D'Elia. Edit: Estelle Parsons actually won the Oscar for "Bonnie & Clyde". Maybe her bio can be updated. Thanks.

Has he had bad press lately?

That sounds like a plan

Minus Lawrence Brooks, who died on January 5th, 2022.

Oh oh oh, like Hildegard Knef has sung a few years ago: From here on it gets rough!

That was quick: https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/21/louie-anderson-dead-dies-blood-cancer-battle/ That means... a lot of points I guess Ok, Diane Berberian was my second choice today, so she will step in for Louie Anderson.

Apparently I'm almost the only one with this opinion, but I couldn't stand his music and didn't think he was that good as an actor either. The worst scene with the worst song on the Rocky Horror Picture Show is the part where Eddie rides his motorcycle to the lab, imo. But still... R.I.P.

I wish my DDP team consisted of these candidates!

In for Russell Bishop: Louie Anderson, please.

There is one:

Well done, Banana!!
