Anita Pointer was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2011. She treated it and came out free of cancer in the following year. Maybe... her cancer's back. Once you've had cancer, recurrence is your biggest fear. And... Jada, Pointer's only daughter, died of pancreatic cancer in 2003. I can only give her my best wishes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to take Spade DDP hints from October onwards with a pinch of salt and wariness of double/triple bluffs. Of course, this is how I missed out on Peter Tork a few years ago! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted October 18, 2021 First mention on the forum, and never picked on the DDP, Celeste Caeiro is 88 now. She was the waitress who, lacking any food to give mutinous soldiers during the Portuguese coup of 1974, gave them carnations to decorate their guns with instead, leading to it being called the Carnation Revolution. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,745 Posted October 21, 2021 On 07/08/2021 at 01:06, arghton said: Two Premiers/Prime Ministers of the Soviet Union still living, both older than Gorbachev: Nikolai Ryzhkov (1929-) Premier 1985-1991. Still active, however he's a 91-year old overweight guy with heart problems, had a major heart attack in 1991. Ivan Silayev (1930-) Last Premier 1991. Seen in public less than Ryzhkov. Ryzhkov was actually recently appointed for another term as senator in the 170-member Federation Council, upper house of the Russian parliament. He's 92 but could go on for a couple of years. It was December 1990, not 1991 when he got that heart attack and was succeeded by Valentin Pavlov. Pavlov died eighteen years ago. Ivan Silayev is 91 today, can't find any new articles, pictures or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean-Luc Godard wouldn’t be a bad shout either. This is just a list of names I found about recently while reading the great book (which I recommand) Je Me Souviens by Georges Perec. This book was published in 1978 so I thought everyone mentioned there was dead but these few names are not ! Delon, Hardy, Godart, Bouquet and Trintignant have been in my french list since I started deathlist. These are the names that I will keep on till they die cause of their notoriety and their age. Bardot on an other hand is not on my list this year but will probably be in 2022 : I don’t see her dying before 89 or 90 but this is the kind who is « too big to miss » in France. if you want french names check my signature !
