5. Jan. 2021 while being No. 5 on the DL.

A hit for my French theme team. I always liked her name because it sounds like a classic drag name RIP.

Thank "God", because this pool is a little peaceful place, everyone is nice

Do you feel criticism in this pool?

Congratulations, chilean way! 1920: George P. Shultz + Eileen Bennett 1921: Prince Philip + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Baroness Pamela Sharples 1924: Budge Patty + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Robert Fyfe + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Peter Mark Richman + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Beside the BBC these are also sources for a qualifying obit as said by Master Sean. I really like your optimism in terms of "Germans getting a qualifying UK-obit"

I know what kind of loss it is because I lost my cat last year and I still miss him every single day. I am very sorry for you and your family and wish you a lot of strength and cohesion.

Ennio Morricone is a hit for Bibliogryphon, Etushispushingupdaisies, Deathray, theoldlady and YoungWillz. I hope my dear YoungWillz can smile again Update will follow soon.

Yeah, he is a single hit for you! Edit: And there was another hit on July 1st: Everton Weekes for Bibliogyphon, Deathray, nantonian2013 and Sean. Next update will come with the next hit.

Shame that the host of 20/20, Hugh Downs, isn't a hit here...

Ask Carrie Bradshaw

We do have a second DL-birthday today: Beside Pierre Cardin we can congratulate Imelda Marcos, 91 today!

Wow, can't believe it! 1920: George P. Shultz + Eileen Bennett 1921: Prince Philip + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Baroness Pamela Sharples 1924: Budge Patty + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Robert Fyfe + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Peter Mark Richman + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Good luck with all the qualifying UK-obits

So the first half of 2020 is over, the Committee did a great job with 11 hits so far and most likely more to come. As always, people are also concerned about next year's list, and I've put their ideas and suggestions together here (I was a little bored last Sunday). Make up your own mind whether there are any useful (new) suggestions ... I guess 3-4 might make it ... The List:

Imagine 2005 when Olivia de Havilland first showed up on the DL at age 88 and probably eveyone thought: "Yeah, what a great pick this very old lady is in this very year!"

https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/07/01/world/europe/01reuters-vatican-benedict.html Georg Ratzinger is a quick hit for me! 1920: George P. Shultz + Eileen Bennett 1921: Prince Philip + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Baroness Pamela Sharples 1924: Budge Patty + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Everton Weekes + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Peter Mark Richman + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Sent my list to msc. My decision was between yes: I like to see them on the DL, famous enough, classy, near death, glamorous and no: not famous enough, just a random UK-centric-boring pick, too healthy, too ugly That's how lists should be compiled

July 2nd, birthday hits for and from Pierre Cardin and Imelda Marcos.

Oh dear, don't give up! The thing you learn from 2020 is: Anything is possible!!!

What are you so sad about, @YoungWillz?
