I had Donald Elson recently in one of my pools. Google has his birth year as 1923 says he is 101 years old. A great poster showed me that he died years ago.. Am grateful he caught it because I apparently would have been waiting an eternity to see a death announcement for him that was never going to come. Lesson learned to not trust Google on it's own. Learned to do more research on people to make sure they are living or dead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,624 Posted July 9 I have to disagree @The Daredevil. You list a chunk of names that won't be removed till their death (aka become a hit). Most of those could reasonably die any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trome 128 Posted July 9 Hackman would be a mistake as a drop for 2025, he looks too decrepit and diminished, personally I don't see him reaching 2026, I wouldn't dare drop Brooks and Greenspan either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted July 9 Keeping Hackman, Nolan, Greenspan and Redgrave would also be ideal, but based on all the surviving names and the 22 needed to stay off next year at this rate, those seem the best drops currently. Brooks and Van Dyke are getting through 2024 fine; not sure about Greenspan. Hackman looks rough but can still be fast on his feet. But with someone like Dick Cheney, it's either this year or next.

When I see Cheney moving as fast as this, I'll believe it Hackman seems an early 2026 hit to me; Cheney has been out of the spotlight for years- must be near the end.

The last I saw of Cheney was his rant about Trump in August 2022. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted July 10 There is a great X account Called Spotted Wimbledon where all the celebs who show up to be in the crowd are recorded I am not saying Grace should be considered for 2025 but this is not a great pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,129 Posted July 10 I know it's five years now, but I saw her at a festival pre-pandemic, and I was in the second row, almost within touching distance. She came right down off the stage to high-five people. And she looked awesome. Not a scrap of cellulite, either. Can't really see much of her in that pic. She's doing a gig at Crystal Palace Bowl on 26 July, and a few other festival dates. I was hoping she'd turn up among the supports at Hyde Park, in which case I might have bought a ticket, but she didn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say going from looking 45 to looking 60 would be a bad thing, if that didn't still mean she looks decades younger than her age. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first thought was that she looked rough but looking at the picture again she is just being Grace - dressing oddly. Her posture is relaxed. There were two photos of Rod Laver one where he is sat in the crowd looked hunched but then there was one of him standing and waving where he looked a bit better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Biggles hat and sunglasses thing is dressing oddly I'll give you . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
