I believe this is Buddy's farewell tour as well.

How about Dabney ("9 to 5") Coleman? Just passes the fame test I reckon, and turns 92 in January.

 

And if you buggers don't pick Roger Corman and Neil Harvey next year, you never will.

Corman's not going anytime soon

Keep meaning to watch the documentary about Dabney Coleman and always end up forgetting.

Cloak & Dagger was one of my favourite films as a kid.  I have lost count how many times I have watched it

Just watched his murdering turn in Columbo.

 

He's actually quite comedic in some of the scenes in that.

Idea for 2024 : the son of De Gaulle, Philippe.

He will turn 102 in december.

Dabney? Good fun in it, sadly the story is one of the weak 90s stories. They cast Shera Danese as the co -villain, she must have been sleeping with someone to get that role.

Hello,

Probably already commented....

Life expectancy of a 90 year old man is 4 years 2 months.  So if the whole Death List were 90, on average there will be 12 deaths.

If all the Death List were 94, life expectancy is 3 years, on average 17 deaths.  Statistically, choose age over fame.

A man who is 90 has 25% of reaching 97, therefore some names keep on appearing but one day the committee will win.

Anyone know anything about the current health of former racing driver/voice actor (Cars 2), David Hobbs? One for 2024?

He's still generally pretty active and involved in the motorsport world and appeared on a podcast interview with Justin Bell (ex racer and Derek Bell's son) last year. Seemed very well and was very sharp through the interview. Also posts quite often on his Twitter and the account is fully operated by him, so I'm assuming there's nothing major going on. Anyway I don't think he needs to be considered in 2024.

 

In fact I can't think of any Formula 1 drivers right now at the moment that come off as immediate DL potential, the ones who were in the last 1-2 years have already passed away (Brooks, McAlpine, Reutemann, Jabouille, Tambay etc.).

Yes, Michael Caine will probably be the first Cars 2 cast member to croak. Vanessa Redgrave (Mama Topolino) and Paul Dooley (Sarge) are seemingly doing fine as well.

 

Michael Wallis (Sheriff) claimed last April he is "battling some incredible, very serious health issues, nothing really life threatening." https://www.tulsapeople.com/city-desk/legends-michael-wallis/article_13e12cce-e44b-11ed-ac94-232a44f9a38c.html

Christopher Lloyd seems fine. He has a part in the Busted concert via video skit at start and end and looks active as ever dressed up as Doc Brown.
