What’s the point of opening a thread for someone dead ? 

What is your problem?  

[gcreptile 11,374]

Does she have any health issues?

Now, is she a Lady or a Baroness or something else? 

She's credited as just Joan Plowright in most places. I suppose the thread could be titled Dame Joan Plowright. She was also Baroness Olivier, but not Baroness Plowright.

Starting a thread with the death announcement?

 

Interesting.

It's standard procedure here when someone without a thread gets several pages of posts after their death.

Plowright, Plowright, Plowright, PLOWRIGHT, PLOWRIGHT, PLOWRIGHT, PLOWWWRIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Who cares if she was a dame or a lady or a fucking baroness. She’s worm food like the rest of us will be, and there’s no preferential treatment for poshos in heaven or hell, I’ve heard. She pranced around to Shakespeare, was in some shit films and TV programmes, married a luvvie, lived in a fancy house, went blind and moved in to Denville for some hands of bridge.

 

No offence, Joanie.

No dead tag, so she must be still alive. DL 2026 pick?

No problem, just questionning the purpose since everyone here seems quite reluctant about thread opening, I genuinely don’t understand Why it’s worth opening a thread after a people death, that’s not a critic

Edit : nvm Clorow answered it a few post above

There’s no problem at people opening threads. There’s only one arsehole that seems to object to it.   If there’s a genuine reason and the person is famous enough to get an obit,  then I don’t see any problem with it.

Still working on this thread. Dead tag added.

100% agree with you but that doesn’t seem to be the opinion of the majority here, hence my question since I had trouble understanding why people could be opposed to a thread for an A-celeb and not for someone already dead

+ who’s her stepson that Ullitzer mentioned earlier ? 

 

Tarquin Olivier?

Finally, a thread to call my own. Time to go mad with power.

Always found it Plowright weird tbh:

"She's one of the great elder dames of British acting, one of our most iconic performers"

"Oh right, what are her most famous roles?"

"The early 90s Dennis the Menace and Burning Down the House with Queen Latifah."

Let us not forget that Victor Meldrew wanted her to star in the play he was writing.

She was the first hit on my own personal dead pool this year.
