You didn't! 

 

Too late now I suppose?? I have had my 50 on my signature since New Year's Day.

 

Dammit, I'm doing well at this.

At this point without having you on my own records and that it would jump you into the lead, I would be uncomfortable with including you into the competition. As it stands I wouldn't include you into the competition. 

 

I am very weak and open to a good argument or peer pressure, so feel free to make a case / others jump in with their opinion.

So I thought I'd posted my list, turns out there are 2x Shadowlist threads going on and mine ended-up only there

 

Given that it's in aspic elsewhere and I meet the rules in terms of there being 50, may I play now please? :bow:

I would like you to argue for this one because google didn't tell me much about her. 

 

 

Things to keep in mind about any person you choose:

  • Are they likely to obit in a major newspaper? 
  • Are they a well known celebrity? 
  • Do they have a Wikipedia page in any language (that clearly wasn't made just for Deathlisting)

This article I found, but it seems to only talk about her cancer. How famous and significant was she before her cancer diagnosis?

I can keep your list and track you with all the other deaths to acknowledge your entry, but I will keep your list at the bottom of the table as a non-player (which just means you wouldn't be able to win). If you still want to enter under these terms, post a replying comment with a numbered list like everyone else has done - check the masterlist for an example of format.

Stella Stevens would be a hit for myself and several others.

BBC Obit 

 

I am so surprised she got one, if I had known, she would have been on my shadowlist 100%, I knew this was her year. 

 

That’s the thing, you never know if lesser Hollywood legends will get a BBC Obit until they do. Earl Holliman is another I left off because I didn’t think he was BBC obit worthy. But if he is when his time comes, I’ll really regret playing it safe.

I wouldn't be afraid to push the envelope on celebrities. Even if BBC doesn't pick it up, Daily Mail cover tons of obscure obituaries. They even reported Tim Considine's death who was a child actor from the 50s.
