How about Henry Heimlich, the soon-to-be 86 year old creator of the Heimlich Maneuver. Should be one to keep a watch on.

At nearly 78 (born May of 1927) I was surprised beyond recognition to learn this man was still alive. He does not look particularly healthy from photos and some randoms searches show his work load has slowed considerably in the last decade. Is it nearly his time?

Andy Fraser, one time bass player with Free is HIV positive, has been for a while. He suggests on his official site that he contracted it during lengthy treatment for cancer in his neck. Oddly no hospitals or doctors are blamed, and it did take him a while to come out as gay. Was news to his wife and kids when he did! Either way, he's active promoting some re-issues of Free but, one to watch.

Ah, Cohen, wondered when someone would mention him. He seems to go on and on and on, have his latest CD, very good except his voice is deepening and slowing to such an extent it's like playing a single at 33 rpm. Great for black dog days. He has a thing about the word "naked" that I don't quite understand. Anyway not for a while I wouldn't have thought. I'm sure Canadian Paul will have a view. Must go and play it again.....

I'm sad to report that singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist Leon Russell is in hospital after undergoing brain surgery. He has had recent health issues including a "brain fluid leak and treatment for heart failure and pneumonia", which doesn't sound too good. As well as preforming as a solo artist, he is probably as well known for his session work in the 60s and 70s, when he appeared on albums recorded by just about everyone. He is also the owner of a very fine beard, which would give ZZ Tops' efforts a run for their money IMO.

Flicking through the channels and came across an old film (the night we dropped a clanger) with Brian Rix. I thought he'd died years ago. Still alive, aged 92 and a Lord to boot. Most folk of a certain age might remember watching some of the farces he appeared in. Don't know anything about his health, but at 92, should be a possible future candidate?

It's time someone did the decent thing and gave the poor gal a thread of her own. I reckon she'll be keeping us busy for a while. No real updates right now, apart from cancelling her 300th engagement in the past month.

Superman actress Noel Neill turns 95 today. No major health problems, except for breaking her hip in 2010. Someone to keep an eye on, I think.

Heard that Larry Hagman (J.R. from "Dallas") was dead. Can anyone confirm this? (Links to articles?) What was the cause of death?
-
I was just looking up survivors from the cast of "How Green Was My Valley" and I was surprised Maureen O'Hara doesn't have a dedicated thread here yet. I have no health news but she is 93 now so comparable with Lauren Bacall and Olivia de Havilland. Post away!

Author Jenny Diski is terminally ill with inoperable lung cancer but - according to a lengthy piece in The Observer - today was told in August she has "two to three years." An outside bet for 2015 (her chemo'd immune system could fail her), but definitely in there from 2016 onwards if she makes that start line.
