I had him in my DDP German theme team in 2019, after that he was considered cured. Now the headline says: " There will be no more healing for me", so he is scheduled for next year's team again.

German actor Günter Lamprecht has died at the age of 92. Damn, he was scheduled for my German theme team next year... https://www.faz.net/agenturmeldungen/dpa/guenter-lamprecht-mit-92-gestorben-18369542.html Edit: I think he is best known for working with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, for his role in Das Boot (directed by Wolfgang Petersen who died on August 12, 2022) and playing in several Tatort episodes.

Another one from our long list without getting the main list

Oh, I love her pic on the frontpage with Kermit, well chosen!

Angela Lansbury on her birthday on 16th of October.

Please not Marianne Faithfull! I couldn't stand losing another icon this year after Olivia Newton-John!

At this point of the year I say that Lansbury, Barker, Kundera and Pelé will be DL-hits.

To completely balance the DL (5:5)... a fifth lady: Angela Lansbury.

I was introduced to Loretta Lynn musically through Sinead O'Connor. She did an absolutely amazing cover of Loretta's song "Success" which is now called "Success has made a failure of our home". For me personally one of the best interpretations, further developments and improvements of a song based on a nice song. R.I.P. Loretta!

I know the band and some of their songs, but have never heard anything private from the members or read any headlines. The disease was probably completely unknown.

Too bad I kinda liked her and loved her role as Peg Gallagher in Shameless. I would have liked to have seen her there longer, but she was smothered by Sheila.

I read this book almost exactly a year ago and actually found it quite enjoyable. A bit stereotypical, yes, but I didn't have too many expectations either. The book was light fare and kept me entertained while on vacation. At least I didn't remember it so badly that it stopped me from buying the second part (The man who died twice) last week...

Oh, I have Irene Papas in here. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/zorba-greek-actress-irene-papas-27993487

Didn't think it was that serious tbh.

He battled pancreatic cancer for 2 years. Now I'm hoping for a proper obit as he is my joker in my German theme team...

That's why he is the No.1!

There are 3 years in which 4 of the top 5 died (2013, 2016, 2020), but never the top 4 together (only places 2 to 5) or the entire top 5. It is very unlikely to achieve that, but hey, there are still 3,5 months until the end of the year!

Pic or it didn't happen

Psssst...

This time it's Angela Lansbury for sure

Godard = hit No. 15. Half done.

Maybe you should explain who the Maus (mouse) is...
