Thanks, you missed the edit; but I figured it out - there's many faces I can't put names too but I knew I should have known that one, so it was really bugging me. Trying to figure out the moustachioed figure behind Drummie Zeb now!

Took me ages to find the Queen.

I notice there’s no Jerry Lee Lewis, which is understandable but an omission all the same.

Can anyone spot Monica Vitti and Jean-Louis Trintignant above? They are the two that seem to be missing upon first glance...

Unbelievable! Vitti was one of Italy’s most renowned film stars, Trintignant one of France’s, and somehow Sacheen Littlefeather makes it on, whilst Vitti and Trintignant don’t? Vitti and Trintignant are two of the biggest deaths this year, definitely in the top 10 IMO, with Angela Lansbury, Sidney Poitier, Queen Elizabeth II, Mikhail Gorbachev, Shinzo Abe, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jean-Luc Godard and Olivia Newton-John.

Pleased to see Bamber Gascoigne on there but couldn't find David Trimble.

In France the top 10 would be : Gaspard Ulliel, Jean Luc Godard, Jean Louis Trintignant, Pierre Soulages, Jean Pierre Pernault, Thierry Mugler, Sempé, Jacques Perrin, Michel Bouquet, Igor Bogdanoff in that order. 

 

honorable mentions : Dani, Régine, Mylène demongeot, Rene de Obaldia

Was on my theme team last year.  Found out about his poor health some time ago but just couldn't get enough info to justify using him anywhere else.  Hate when a unique like this wriggles off the hook.

Monica Vitti is a major omission, but it's such a huge piece of work it's easy to overlook people. As well as already mentioned above (Trintignant, Perrin, Bouquet, Mugler), I'd add Jimmy Wang Yu and Atarah Ben-Tovim (OK, she's a bit obscure but for those of us of a certain age...) too.

 

Best place to complain/make suggestions is on Twitter, and Chris acknowledges there's bound to be some biggies diie between now and the New Year so it's still a work in progress.

The left out Kevin Conroy as well. Huge omission for especially since they included the green power ranger and technoblade.

Yes, people need to take into account its one man's work in addition to everything else he does, so shouldn't be surprised by the odd omission (its not intended as a personal slight).

The Russian writer Lyudmila Chernaya died at the age of 104. She is best known as the author of scholarly and journalistic books about Nazism, including the works "Criminal No. 1" and "Two-Faced Admiral". She was also a translator of German-language literature, including translations of the works of Erich Maria Remarque ("Life Borrowed," "Shadows in Paradise") and Franz Kafka ("Report to the Academy").

From the spring to the autumn of 1942 Lyudmila Chernaya was an instructor-translator in the 7th Department of the Political Department of the North-Western Front (specialized in work among enemy troops).
From October 1942 to 1945 she worked in Moscow in the counterpropaganda department of the TASS. She was involved, inter alia, in the preparation of articles and disinformation messages.

John Edward Critien, Grand Chancellor of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta 2016-2017, dead at 73.

He was made Grand Chancellor in December 2016 when the late Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta Matthew Festing removed previous Grand Chancellor Albrecht von Boeselager "for distributing condoms in Myanmar" but the real reason was likely a power struggle between cardinal Raymond Leo Burke and Pope Francis. Critien and Festing were both kicked out of their positions in January 2017 and Boeselager was reinstated.
