Ideas and possibilities for 2024

[Thatcher 2,124]

Niall Ó Donnghaile, Leader of Sinn Fein in the Seanad since 2020, has resigned his seat on the grounds of ill health. He is only 38 and previously served as the Lord Mayor of Belfast. Perhaps not for 2024, but one to keep an eye on.

So, your 48 years of wrongful conviction are finally over-turned around the time you discover you've got liver cancer...the only good news in such a situation is likely for dead poolers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67782907

Never mentioned before on this forum according to a search, Steve Binder, who collaborated with Elvis and directed The Star Wars Holiday Special is still alive, having turned 91 ten days ago.

Searching around I found this Japanese-language article from 2017 where Yoko Ono's younger brother (Keisuke Ono) says Sean told him that Yoko was diagnosed with lewy body dementia in May or June 2016. Not sure if this was ever mentioned in non-Japanese news or the forums but I assume this is the "undisclosed illness" she has needed round-clock care for the last few years. Definitely should be kept on the list

Not to mention that the average prognosis for the disease is 5 to 7 years. 2024 will be 8 years after her diagnosis.

I am new and dont know how to tag on my post and respond to another post.  But to Gooseberry Crumble about Christina Crawford.  She was on my long list she just did not make it to my 2024 list.. If she makes it through the year I will have to put her on my 2025 list.  If anyone could tell me how to tag someone else's post to my post so I know I am responding to them please let me know.  Thanks in advance

I'm presuming you refer to quoting a post. Use the "Quote" option at the foot of the post. Like this:

 

Or, alternatively, selecting the text you want to quote should bring with it the option to just quote that specific part of the post, instead of potentially having to delete most of a large list in order to retrieve one small line of text.

Anyway best of luck!

I've been watching Quentin Tarantino's favourite B-movies lately. Their director Jack Hill, born 1933, is still alive:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hill

 

He was mentioned in the Happy Birthday thread before.

 

Piggybacking on this

 

One of the films he Directed "Switchblade Sisters" featured a performance by  Kitty Bruce(daughter of Lenny Bruce) as Donut. She  seems to have her share of health problems the last few years.  A possible punt to take in some pool in 2024.

How about Geraldine Chaplin?

Wouldn't be surprised if Paul Auster (cancer; talking up his most recent novel as if it may be his last) doesn't see 2024 out

That's a pretty good find.  He could have a few months left or a few years; just no way to know since we don't know the specifics of his type of cancer.  It's not like he writes a novel per year, so saying it may be his last novel doesn't necessarily mean he won't see 2025, of course.  But certainly one to keep an eye on!

Joe Tracini (son of Joe Pasquale) and is an actor from Hollyoaks (and various theatre credits), has said on social media how unwell he's feeling. He's got history of addiction issues along with Borderline Personality Disorder:

 

 

Following up on this there’s recently been further tweets of the same vein talking about suicide etc. (here and here). Hopefully he gets the help he obviously needs.

British-Indian grandmother Bachan Athwal was released from prison in April.

Evil family matriarch behind the 1998 honour killing of Surjit Athwal (wiki). 87 next year and overweight. Worth a punt in the DDP.

The marketing campaign for the most recent novel has felt very... valedictory. Though, yes, it's not as if he writes a novel a year. Though as part of the marketing round for Baumgartner Siri Hustvedt (wife) did an interview or two where it would really be much more usual for the writer himself to have done them... 

 

Let's just say, I am not getting positive vibes.

American Comedienne Brett Butler turns 65. Has  a Matthew Perry l bout with booze and drugs in the 1980's n 1990's,can't have too long left.

 

[Shamalka Amarasekera 4]

I would say

Charlie Sheen 

Dustin Hoffman 

Mahinda Rajapaksa 

Morgan Freeman 

Phil Collins 

Rowan Atkinson 

[namelesshere 11]

Antonia Fraser also sounding like a good bet.... https://www.newstatesman.com/the-weekend-interview/2023/07/antonia-fraser-interview-historian-popularity
