Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted October 1 31 minutes ago, Summer in Transylvania said: Jacquelyn Park, former companion to Jack L. Warner and Cary Grant, and who was impregnated by Ronald Reagan in the 1950s, is still alive aged 98, to my knowledge. She has only been mentioned once before (as Jacqueline Park) hereabouts, back in 2006 on the Albert Hofmann thread. From her IMDb bio: "As she got older, she became a 'spankologist' in Manhattan in the 2000s where she'd have for-pay liaisons with men until her death in the 2010s." So dead. But a good way to go if you ask me. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 634 Posted October 7 Finally saw some photos taken during the annual Medal of Honor recipients convention including the annual group photo. Bruce Crandall, Tom Kelley and not sure who the one on the left is, are in wheelchairs but out of the three Crandall is the only one who truly stands out as frail (in another photo of him on instagram, his watch doesn't even fit his wrist!). Although Crandall is the oldest living recipient to my knowledge at 91, he was very active and going strong up to a year ago so it looks like he's had a sharp decline. Also, the absence of Jose Rodela despite the fact he actually lives in San Antonio where the convention was held, tells me his condition is bad enough that he's most likely unable to leave his home. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had never heard of him, but the guy has a Wikipedia page so I'm sure he would obit.

MrWonderful 480 Posted October 11 The committee wouldn't consider this person for next year's DL because she's too obscure, but I think she would obit and would make sense for certain pools: Vivian Ayers-Allen. (My apologies if anyone else has suggested her.) The mother of Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen, Ayers-Allen is 101 years old. She was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in the 1950's for poetry, and she was recently honored back in July by NASA. You can see that Debbie Allen has an Instagram post about this event, although I don't see Ayers-Allen herself in this post. Anyway, at 101, she might make a lot of sense. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted DL will be starting in Nov. or Dec. Maybe they will hang on till some people can put him on that list to get a hit. I myself never like putting these type of people on my deathlists. Sure they are an easy hit, but the hit would be so pointless and meaningless to me if I do not know them anymore then a stranger who lives 6 miles from me on a milking farm named Frank. When I get a hit from a list I want to at least to know them on some kind of level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 327 Posted October 11 I tried to search, but could not find if anyone here has ever made a list of who may be still alive that had a guest appearance on the T.V Show Colombo. There seemed to be a lot of them including greats like Dick Van Dyke. Might find a few gems as possible picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted October 12 Nick Rogers (wiki), former Tory member of the London Assembly announces he has bowel cancer. Has caught it early (and it hasn't spread) and is only 39, so very much an outsider punt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted October 13 @gcreptile, apologies. I did skim read your post earlier but the reason I didn't see him in it was because you didn't space separate him from Claudia Sahm like you did the others, so I thought you just listed 3 individuals.

Summer in Transylvania 2,175 Posted October 14 Mentioned a couple of times before, musicologist Clive Wearing (Wiki), noted for having had severe amnesia since 1985, will turn 87 next May. He should not only obit, but would also make for an interesting pick (even aside from his amnesia, he worked for the BBC, having chosen the music for Radio 3's coverage of Charles and Diana's Wedding, and featured prominently in his field of classical music), instead of the nineteenth obscure cricketer.
