    Somewhere Over The Rainbow

    A unique pick bonus could be heading Handrejka's way - Holly Woodlawn is very unwell, suffering from 'lesions' on the lungs and brain. This site is raising cash for her nursing care...and funeral http://www.gofundme.com/bringhollyhome Biopsy confirms that she has "aggressive lung cancer that has spread to her brain".Can`t see her making 2016 then!

    Alan Young

    I reckon he must also be the oldest living voice actor or at least the oldest working voice actor.I think June Foray is the oldest working and living voice actress and she is two years older than Alan but I can`t think of anyone else.

    Alan Young

    I have him on my DDP theme team this year.I read somewhere that he wasn`t too well and that his family were fighting over who should control his assets but I don`t think it was a major site that reported it. Definitely worthy of considering for a place on the Death list.He has no direct links in Britain as he lived virtually his entire life in America but I think most people of a certain age would have heard of Mr Ed and certainly Scrooge McDuck and the Disney link is very significant in obits.He also starred in many episodes of the Smurfs which was massive even when I was little.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    I don`t think she will outlive any of her children.George VI and Margaret were chain smokers and Margaret drank like a fish.I don`t think any of the Queen`s children live wild lives except perhaps Andy.I reckon she may outlive Camilla Parker Bowles who has osteoporosis which killed her mother and grandmother.I also wouldn`t be surprised if she outlived her brother in law Antony Armstrong Jones ,The Kents and Princess Alexandra also. Her children though I doubt it.

    I think 3 Bafta`s and 3 Academy Nominations sets him apart from many other centenarians living today.

    I should think it would make the News at Ten in brief segments between main articles.

    Greville Janner

    There was doubt in Ernest Saunders`s case amongst experts at the time but the medical opinion seems pretty conclusive for Janner.

    Nazi of SS

    Today's day in court was cancelled because of the "bad state of health" of Mr. Groening: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/prozesstag-im-auschwitz-verfahren-vorzeitig-beendet-oskar-groening-in-schlechtem-gesundheitszustand/11737296.html(link in german, but I bet english articles will appear, since the trial has received a fair bit of attention abroad.) Judges are considering their verdict: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3152324/Prosecutors-demand-3-year-prison-sentence-bookkeeper-Auschwitz-Oskar-Groening-trial-death-300-000-Jews-judges-consider-verdict.html Verdict has fallen: sentenced to 4 years in prison http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33533264 So, most major news agencies will report his death in jail automatically and he's old and frail. Low DDP points, granted, but HPDP and Deathrace gold, maybe. Isn`t he infamous enough for the Death List?I would have thought his demise will be covered as much as Priebke`s or Demjanjuk`s?

    Before starting this topic I thought he might be dramatizing his will to end it all and might pull off a Clive James by constantly pre-announcing his imminent demise but then I remembered that his cancer was at stage 4.Luckily I picked him for the Hare`s Dead pool so substantial points may well be heading my way if your sources prove correct!

    Greville Janner

    He might not have got away with it if he wasn`t Jewish himself .I wonder how careful we have to be about getting sued over topics like this?

    Greville Janner

    Yeah I was trying to think of a tagline and that was all that sprang t mine.Just a bit of word play I was not attempting to insinuate a relation between the two.I will change it ,however I do not know how to edit the tagline but if someone can tell me I am more than happy to change it and come up with an alternative tagline.
  24. I have heard of her but literally only through extensive Dead pooling research. All I ever found from my research was the odd bit part role.I think there are actresses past the 100 mark who are more notable (just about) such as Mary Carlisle Lupita Tovar and Patricia Morrison but even they are fairly obscure names.
