livingbygrace 140 Posted May 2 3 hours ago, Steve said: According to IMDb Donald Elson died on 7th May 2022. I had no Idea. Google Page shows his birth 1923 says he is 101 and no mention of his death. If this is the case I am sorry. Everyone behind him can move up a spot and I will have Gena Rowlands subbing in #21 spot please. Sorry if I messed up here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Offhand without every name picked in front of me now,looks like I might have to DQ one person. "Terry Joe Martin" Is he notable for anything besides stealing Wizard Of Oz slippers?Every article I have found of him mentions and calls him criminal/mobster.
