If she makes it through 24 which I hope she will, Jacqueline White. She’s the last surviving actor/actress to have been in a Laurel & Hardy movie!

 

She seems very active signing autographs (about 3 days ago), could be an another Marsha Hunt or Norman Lloyd

Some names I thought about including for 2024 but weren't seriously ill/old enough to make the top 50. I wonder how many will make it to 2025: 

 

Jane Goodall, 91

 

 

Jane Goodall is doing a tour of Australia in May/June, so is presumably well.

Almost definitely a long shot in terms of notability, but Sid Krofft of H. R. Pufnstuf fame would be turning 96 in 2025 if he makes it that long. His brother Marty died a month or so ago and got a Yahoo UK obit, so perhaps he would as well.

Definitely would consider


5. Jeremy Clarkson (I agree with Bon Scott his health in the last year has had significant issues, all them saturated fats and tar gotta go somewhere)

 

And the way he squeezed into tiny waisted jeans probably also none too healthy...

William Labov (Wiki), American sociolinguist. Turned 96 last month, retired in 2015 but still publishes papers now and again.

Might get an obit from a broadsheet.

I suppose he would get an obit, although I'd not considered him DL material.

William Daniels- will turn 98 in 2025 and is looking frail on Cameo nowadays

 

Leontyne Price- also will turn 98 in 2025

 

Jeremy Clarkson- I concur with the growing level of support for this one (I really struggle to see Clarkson get much over 65).

 

Jack Nicholson- Rumoured dementia, morbidly obese, will turn 88 in 2025

 

Brian Blessed- Recently lost his long-time wife, morbidly obese, will turn 89 in 2025

Hal Linden will probably be back on my radar for a potential pick for next year, along with his Co Star Barbra Berrie who is also 92 right now. Jamie Farr also will be 90 by this time next year.

Two Australians to consider...

 

Steve Mortimer, OAM, halfback rugby player, born in 1956. He played for Canterbury-Bankstown. In 2008, he was named one of the 100 best Australian rugby league players of all time. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, and his brother Pete is quoted to have said that health problems have accelerated his dementia. Namely, heart attack, pneumonia & bronchitis in the past 3 years.

 

Michael Milton, OAM, the most successful Australian Winter Paralympics athlete ever with 11 medals to his name, starting in 1992 in Albertville. He was born in 1973. He has only one leg and was the Lareus World Sports Awards winner in the disability category in 2003. That year, he broke the record from 1987 of the fastest disabled skier. He also broke a national cycling record in 2007. He represented Australia in the Summer Olympics in Beijing in that sport. In 2013, he broke the world record for the fastest marathon runner in crutches, in 5 hours and 23 minutes. In 2018, another world record but for the distance 5 km in 32 minutes. Health-wise, he got bone cancer when he was 9, which left him with only one leg. In 2007, he got oesophageal cancer. In October 2023, he got cancer for a third time, this time bowel cancer.
