Kind of shocked at this one. Nicola Pagett died due to a brain tumour.  I was only thinking about  'A Bit of a Do' yesterday and the longevity of its cast.

Same here, I'm trying to convince myself that I'd hrard mutterings, but I don't think I had. Very much under the radar as far as I'm concerned.

I did a search but couldn't find anything . I think she was a pick on Derby Dead Pool at some point. I heard some rumours about mental health somewhere.

 That happens to me too. I was looking up A Bit of A Do and was pleasantly surprised that most of the cast are still around. I was also surprised it only ran for 2 series. It seemed to go on for years.

Starting out as an actress, Jonas rose to head of the casting department at Ogilvy and Mather in New York, where she led a six-person team that cast more than 100 commercials. The celebrity talent included Patricia Neal, Karl Malden, Anna-Maria Alberghetti, Arthur Ashe, Sonny & Cher and Ravi Shankar.

Frank J. Kelley, who served as attorney general of Michigan for 38 years (and thus gained the nickname "eternal general"), has died at 96: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/obituaries/2021/03/06/frank-kelley-michigans-eternal-general-dies-96/4303222001/

 

(I am a longtime lurker here who has finally made an account. Should I crosspost the above into the Political Frailty thread? My assumption is that this is supposed to be a catch-all thread with the rest discussed in the breakway threads if they fit, but I don't want to spam the same notice across multiple threads EDIT: Have now seen this was already shared in the law & order thread, nvm)

You can never have to many QOs :) Somehow, I missed your post. I could make up some bullshit excuse about the search engine not flagging it, but its basic incompetence; mea culpa.

Don't worry, @Alex

Some people don't understand that this thread is supposed to be inclusive, for all of the year's deaths.

What is the point in reading it twice?

 

If you want a complete list of Deaths in 2021, there’s a Wiki page for that Toast.
