He'll be 87 next year and has been awfully quiet for close to 2 years now, he feels like a very deathlisty pick. https://www.socialistlabourparty.org/post/tribute-to-south-derbyshire-miners Here he is unveiling a statue and making a speech in December, so doesn't look in any imminent danger. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted February 23 From the now-locked 2008 I & P thread: Another name to add to the mix: Sabina Yasmin, an entertainment colossus in Bangladesh, is seriously ill with cancer. She would probably get an obit via the BBC South Asia pages, which often report Bollywood & other entertainment figures from that part of the world. 16 years on, Yasmin has cancer again - https://www.thedailystar.net/entertainment/music/news/sabina-yasmin-diagnosed-cancer-again-3550946 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of two gents who famously bought a lion cub called Christian (wiki) from Harrods in 1969 (yes, you read that correctly!!) and then released it into the African wild. A year later, he went looking for it to see if the lion would remember him. It did, and this was the reaction: A reliable source has informed me that Christian the Lion's other owner, the Aussie author/artist/socialite, Anthony "Ace" Bourke, 77/78, is very ill with cancer. No Wiki page but he will get a QO. (pictured on the right here, next to John Rendall who died in 2022) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted March 14 I was reading some discussions of this years Oscars ceremony elsewhere on the Internet and a few people pointed out that Warren Beatty was not with his Oscar nominated wife Annette Benning at the ceremony. Might be something. Might be nothing but definitely worth mentioning. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 634 Posted March 16 Jim Lovell. Since his wife's death there's been complete radio silence and no one in my groups is sure of his current status, also he'll be turning 96 soon so if he lives to 2025 he's a strong candidate to consider. He's a better pick than Aldrin (who's still active on Twitter) in my opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene Kranz was there in-person and delivered a lengthy speech. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovell is based in Lake Forest, Illinois so not exactly close to the location but usually he would make the effort to show up for an occasion like this so even if he's not having health issues, it indicates age has taken it's toll.

oldhollywood 85 Posted March 22 Ann Blyth. 95, and she must be the earliest nominated Oscar actor to still be alive? She was nominated in 1945 for Mildred Pierce, I know Eva Marie Saint is the oldest but she was nominated much later 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
