Probably worth his own thread and a spot on the DL, but Sir Antony Sher, one of Britain's greatest living stage actors (and also a familiar TV/film face), is terminally ill. His partner is taking compassionate leave to look after him (but expects to be back in work in early 2022, so this is going to be fast). Awful news.

 

 

 

Just came here to say the same

 

Here is the press release from the RSC

I don’t think he is that likely to make 2022. By the sound of it he will be dead within a couple of months once you add in the grieving period.

That’s exactly what @msc said…

In terms of timing this is about the worst possible from a recognition by the Death list community. There are no live competitions that will start until advent avalanche and he will be penciled into many 2022 shortlist with the expectation of being struck through

A name, which I don't believe has ever been mentioned hereabouts, but is assured a QO when she dies, is Charlotte Bingham, a list of writing credits as long as your arm, aristocracy, MI5 connections & widow of Terence Brady.

 

She'll be 80 next year; I have no idea of her current health situation - for all I know she might be around for another 20 years, but I thought her name worthy of throwing in for consideration.

Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander in Buffy and has had public battles with addiction in recent years, pulls out of promoting his latest movie due to "paralysed genitals". 

[En Passant 3,743]

"Pulls out due to paralyzed genitals"? 

Fnarr fnarr.

[Kirbo 0]

As bleak as it is, I doubt Eugenia Cooney will make it another 10 years. She could possibly make next year's list

 

Also if Ayman al-Zawahiri is really alive, I doubt he will be for very long

Has her own thread. Alas, not well at all.

[Brad252 807]

James Brokenshire revealed recently his lung cancer has progressed and treatment is taking longer than expected as a result. Sounds like a potential candidate for next year's list if he makes it to 2022:

Only going by word of mouth here but I overheard somebody today saying Olympic gold medalist and  Dundee boxer 85 year old Dick McTaggart is looking frail.  I had a look for a picture this one is from 2019

oh no - she’s not even on my ‘Jenny Agutter’ list of famous people I don’t want to ever get ill but reading this and how it makes me feel maybe she should have been.

Sirikit Kitiyakara, former queen of Thailand is 89 yo 

[arghton 6,763]

Sirikit, mentioned above, suffered a stroke a few years ago and has been extremely frail since then. The current king of Thailand doesn't seem to be well either and was in ICU with respiratory problems and either HIV or hepatitis in May. 70 next year, lifelong playboy.

 

 

Also some other names I think could be good for DL:

 

Martti Ahtisaari and Joseph Estrada (both born in 1937) Ahtisaari is a former nobel peace prize winner, Finnish president and Estrada the former kleptocrat president of the philippines. Ahtisaari has alzheimer's, Estrada has been sick for years and both have had covid. 

George RR Martin (born 1948) Will he finish his books before exploding?

Gorbachev (born 1931) Definitely should return IMO. Frailer than most of the nonagenarians on the list.

Sandra Day O'Connor (born 1930) First female US supreme court judge, alzheimer's for years and in a wheelchair + nursing home since around 2017.

Jay Sandrich (b.1932)

 

American TV Director who worked on almost every popular Us sitcom in the 70's and 80's(Mary Tyler Moore,Cosby Show,Newhart,Odd Couple,Golden Girls etc).  Was not well enough to attend a ceremony honoring him with a Television Academy Hall Of Fame Award months before the Pandemic began.

Jay Sandrich didn't make it - dead at 89: https://deadline.com/2021/09/jay-sandrich-dead-tv-director-the-mary-tyler-moore-show-the-cosby-show-1234842985/

Robin Eames Former Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh. 86 next year. Very prominent in the media during the 80's and 90s era of the Troubles will obit in the Irish and UK media for sure IMO

Think Micheal Douglas did years ago, too. He's 77.
