Video from last month: Can still stand and walk without a cane and did a five-minute speech while standing at around 16:00 (didn't need much aid to stand). In a great condition for a centenarian, however things might change suddenly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MortalCaso 1,629 Posted December 2, 2021 Not sure where to put this. Carlos Santana (age 74) of the famed band Santana canceled the remaining shows of 2021 due to an unscheduled heart procedure last Saturday (Nov. 27th). Supposedly starting shows back up in January, I've attached his statement. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/carlos-santana-cancels-december-las-vegas-residency-heart-procedure-1265677/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,588 Posted December 2, 2021 I'm still watching Peter Jackson's Get Back. While doing a bit of research I find that Michael Lindsay-Hogg who directed the original documentary is still alive. He will be 82 next year. Not done anything notable for a few years now.

MadMac 98 Posted December 2, 2021 From Wrestling, Jim Ross currently undergoing aggressive radiation treatment for skin cancer and has reported having two areas cut out of his back over and above the nasty bit on his ankle. Also Jake Roberts reportedly not in great health. Both under 70 (JR turns 70 on January 3rd). Worth considering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,746 Posted December 3, 2021 Filipino writer Francisco Sionil Jose is 97 today. He's one of the most known Filipino writers in English language but his works have also been translated into 28 other languages. Doesn't seem like he has been mentioned here before.

Remission to me is when the cancer could come back but might not - his cancer is still there so will grow again but it might be a few years till he passes away.

Glio has a rep for swinging back hard when people think its under control so Parker could be crucial in 2022, whichever way his health goes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s why I don’t think he will be shifting from my lists and teams. But I will be very shocked if he ever made the main list. I honestly can’t call many debuts on the main list. I wouldn’t even be shocked if extremely famous and terminally Ill Pele misses out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe James Whale, he felt so Cmme friendly that surely they wont skip him twice. Not ill, just old, but I have a feeling one of Hackman/Eastwood/Duvall will make their debut, but that all 3 will eventually be on the list till they die. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of those three Hackman feels like he is most likely to be first to go. I wasn’t fully convinced Sher was going to be added - if none of the committee are theatre fans he might not have seen famous enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
