Tookie Williams is due to be executed on the 13th of December. A founder member of the Crips street gang who has since renounced violence and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 5 times now relies on good ol' boy Arnie Schwarzenegger to grant him a reprieve, but would he still be decent DL material if a stay of execution were to be granted?

No details on google yet, but well worth a shout for '07...opinion anyone?

Constance Cummings. Who she? Well she is a veteran actress hailing from the silent era who worked in Hollywood and the UK. And she's the widow of the British playwrite Benn Levy. She definitely passes the famousness test. She is living in Chelsea and is an extremely frail 95. Some may recall my pleas to include Kay Walsh (widow of David Lean and George Formby leading lady). Regretably, this was pooh-poohed and she was left out. Nine months later, she popped off and was accompanied by dazzling broadsheet obits. Miss Cummings is a similar worthy. May I urge the committee to take this nomination with the seriousness it deserves?

Betty Friedan (b. 1921) is a formidable 2006 candidate for the DeathList. The influential feminist and intellectual is apparently not quite well at 84. She recently was interviewed for a documentary regarding the history of the feminist movement and appeared quite frail, with a slightly slurred speech.

Labour MP Rachel Squire is being treated in an Edinburgh hospital after suffering a stroke. The MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, who is 50, is in the high dependency unit after being admitted on Wednesday. A brain tumour she had battled in December had caused bleeding on the brain, a Labour Party spokeswoman said. "She was sleeping all day - although she is not in a coma - and is not fully conscious," she said. Ms Squire, who was elected in 1992, has suffered two brain tumours and is the patron for cancer charity Brain Tumour Action. The Labour Party spokeswoman added: "Doctors have said it will take two or three weeks before her brain settles down and they can tell how she has been affected by the stroke. "Everyone in the party hopes she gets better very soon." Ms Squire has fought to secure regeneration funds for her seat, home to Rosyth dockyard, and also helped to secure the future of a local coal mine.

If GR is going to go and pay a visit to Richard O'Sullivan in his nursing home, perhaps I could help out the DL by calling on Johnny Mills. He lives about 10 minutes drive from me in Denham. His house backs onto a golf course, and I have seen him mowing his back lawn on a sit-on mower. (Quite a few years ago I must admit). How do you think I should bring the subject up, bearing in mind I will have about 15 seconds on his doorstep before the police are called to report a psychopath on the loose in the village. DWB

Ageing 'British' actor - despite being born in Dublin 11 June 1919. Two of his sons have committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head in the last few years. The most recent a couple of weeks back. RT looked manly enough in The Dam Busters but surely, an ageing luvvie can only take so much.
