Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted January 1, 2023 @msc Delighted to see that Vera Miles has finally made it onto the crowdsourced list! I certainly tried my best to promote her! I think she will prove to be a wise choice.

msc 18,490 Posted February 21, 2023 LA DOLCA MORTO 1/50 6th January 2023 Mega-popular football star Gianluca Vialli has died, aged only 58, after a lengthy battle with the dreaded pancreatic cancer. Regarded as a gentleman in the game even by his opponents, he continued to fund his charity for ALS support even as he lay on his own deathbed. Vialli launched his career at Cremonese, but he became internationally known for his time at Sampdoria, where he helped the team win their only Serie A title, and took them to the European Cup final. Again, Sampdoria. In a European Cup final. It was at I Blucerchiati that Vialli formed his partnership with Robert Mancini, first as a formidable team on the pitch, and later as the great bromance of Italian football, with the two friends inseparable for the next near 40 years. Vialli won the Cup Winners Cup with Sampdoria, before a move to Juventus, where he finally got his hands on the Champions League itself. He wound in England, playing for Chelsea and in 1998, the nouveau riche (even before Abramovich) club asked him to be a very rare English top flight player-manager. In those days, Chelsea had only won five trophies in a century. Gianluca Vialli saw that challenge, and proceeded to win five trophies in two years. This was 50% of their entire Cabinet before Russian money took over, for the record. Vialli was sacked, somewhat prematurely, in 2000, but he remained a Chelsea fan favourite for the rest of his life. Vialli slid into a role as an insightful TV pundit, while investing in interests and running his charity, but in 2019 he took a role in best friend Robert Mancini’s Italy coaching team, as Italy won their first European Championship since the 1960s. But even at that point, in summer 2021, he knew he was on borrowed time. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,490 Posted February 21, 2023 EXILED FROM LIFE 2/50 (What do you mean, it's the wrong guy?) 10th January 2022 When Constantine II was unable, due to health, to make Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September, the royal ambulance chasers knew something was amiss. And so he debuted on The Crowdsourced Deathlist, only to decide he didn’t want to stay a mere ten days into the year. Constantine was King of Greece from 1964 until 1973. When the Colonels Coup happened in 1967, Constantine was forced to accept their rule and rush off to exile. In his absence, the junta abolished the monarchy. When they were ousted, Constantine returned, only to find that a referendum backed the continued abolition of his job. To his credit, he publicly supported the new republic, and eventually he returned to Greece for good where he was viewed as a historical curiosity. He suffered from heart issues in later life, and a bout of covid last night didn’t help. He was eighty-two and the second hit from this years selection. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,490 Posted May 13, 2023 CHAIM TOPOLS 3/50 8th March 2023 Popular Israeli heavyweight actor Topol has died, after a period of ill health, to provide The Crowdsourced Deathlist with another success. Topol had gained a stellar reputation as a theatre and musicals actor in the 1960s, touring with with the Batzal Yarok, before moving to cinema in the mid-60s. His breakthrough role was that of Tevye, star of Fiddler on the Roof, which he played on Broadway and in the 1971 film. His musical background allowed the full baritone of If I Was a Rich Man to liven the screen. This gave him international recognition and he would take on important roles in Flash Gordon and the James Bond flick For Your Eyes Only. Although, in the latter, the reveal Topol is actually the good guy all along would work better if the reveal wasn’t just him telling us! He remained a TV and film regular, but it was the stage that he loved most, playing at all the great theatres in a variety of roles, from Tevye to Shakespeare, until his health declined. This was his first appearance on the list. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,490 Posted May 13, 2023 MERRY FUNERAL, MR LAWRENCE 4/50 28th March 2023 Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto has sadly died after a long battle with cancer, to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist a melancholic success. Sakamoto made his career as part of the Yellow Magic Orchestra, the 70s electronic band. He died weeks after his fellow bandmate Yukihiro Takahashi. He moved equally free in classical and film composing circles, and his opus, the score for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, won him the Oscar. In David Bowie’s iconoclastic World War Two tale of forbidden gay love in a prisoner of war camp, Sakamoto, in his acting debut, played the role of Bowie’s romantic interest with a noble gravitas, while refusing to whitewash the Japanese war experience. It was a complex role vastly more experienced actors would have struggled with. From there, Sakamoto was the composer for the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics, gained the first Japanese number one instrumental track, and his film work included The Last Emperor and The Revenant. He was also an outspoken defender of musicians getting proper royalties for their work, and a renowned anti-nuclear activist in his homeland. Even as he slowly lost a lengthy battle with cancer, he continued his life long environmentalism campaigning from his own bedroom, sending letters in support of various movements. A winner of the Oscar, the Grammy, the Golden Globe, the BAFTA, as well as having acting acclaim, and international chart success, the widely popular Ryuichi Sakamoto packed a lot into his 71 years on the planet, and we mourn his loss. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,490 Posted May 13, 2023 HARRY’S ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW GRIM 5/50 25th April 2023 Film, music and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte has died to give a heavyweight success to The Crowdsourced Deathlist. Belafonte’s legendary career began in the 1940s as a New York club singer, but a friendship with Miles Davis and Charlie Parker launched his pop career. It wasn’t until Calypso in 1956 that he achieved world wide fame, selling more than 1 million copies that year, and launching Day-O and Jamaica Farewell on the public conscience. His musical career stretched over seventy years, during which time he worked with Dylan, Sinatra, the Beatles, and, most importantly of all, Kermit the Frog. He also sang during the inauguration of President Kennedy. His film career was equally important. Carmen Jones was one of the first American films co-starred by two lead black actors. In 1950s America, he took on interracial romance in Island in the Sun, and racism and crime in Odds Against Tomorrow. But while he became a favourite of Hollywood subversives like Otto Preminger, Belafonte was not afraid to call out his friends – he turned down Preminger’s offer of Porgy and Bess, citing it being a racial stereotype. In recent years he appeared in BlackKkKlansman, the Spike Lee film. Yet his humanitarian career dwarfed even those solid legacies. An protégé at an early age of Paul Robeson, Harry Belafonte had already been blacklisted by the McCarthy witch hunts in the 1950s, before he became friends and allies with Martin Luther King. He raised money for King’s marches, he bailed King out of jail, he promoted civil rights on every platform he stood. He was an early public voice against South African apartheid, a lifelong promoter of UNICEF, and a frequent critic of hawk government policies. When told his views on the Bush government were unpatriotic, he said that dissent is crucial to democracy. Harry Belafonte was ninety-six. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,490 Posted May 23, 2023 Rolf Harris dead 6/50 23rd May 2023 Remember when Rolf Harris was a universally beloved kids TV entertainer? Clorox doesn't. This is partly because Clorox is bloody young. But mostly because Rolf torpedoed all that reputation a decade ago, when he was revealed to have been a serial abuser of young children. This is already more words than Ian Brady and Pope Benedict got, but less than Henry Kissinger will get when he goes...any day now. This is the first time Rolf Harris was picked for the Crowdsourced list, because its the first time anyone thought the old fucker was going to die. Which he has. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't born yesterday (but continue pointing to me as the stereotypical zoomer because it's funny). Around 2009/10 he was on a show like Top Gear or The One Show. He was showing off the wobble board to the young viewers. My dad then went on YouTube and showed me clips of him, which he also did with The Two Ronnies, Monty Python, etc. He looked a lot like my grandad who was the same age. Up until Yewtree it was hard to miss him. He soured way more than one generation's childhood memories. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
