WEP 893 Posted November 16 Kiki Håkansson, former Swedish beauty queen, who was the first Miss World in 1951, has died aged 95: https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kiki-hakansson-first-miss-world-passes-away-at-95-in-california-773858 Before that, several sources claimed her death in 2011! So that may be a reason why she is now a pick for the List of the Missed: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2013/celebs_H.html#hakank 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,614 Posted November 20 Re wannamkers link to The Times website, the DDP rules specify "thetimes.co.uk" but that seems to redirect to "thetimes.com", at least thats what I'm finding - anyone else finsing this too, or is it just me? Even Anthony Epstein's obit link in the DDP, which is entered as "thetimes.co.uk" etc, redirects to "thetimes.com" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I (sadly?) don't have a times membership but I used this link https://archive.is/yrdPC to access the full paywalled obit. This is the brief mention of Guillemin's death if it counts.

However I decided not to list names if they most likely would not qualify under current DDP rules. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,053 Posted Saturday at 15:28 Aye, you cannot be a missed pick if you could not have been picked at all. Of course, they should be noted as dead behind the scenes on any masterlist or whatever. But, like yer cancer mums or first cousin to Amanda Barrie, forget about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
