This, however, claims Our Glynis (TM) is in the Belmont Village retirement home. Along with other possible QOs including street photographer Martin Elkort and documentarian Perry Wolff

 

Martin Elkort died in 2016:

Perhaps that home page is out of date? Or Wikipedia is...regarding Glynis.

I saw a doco about Reddy a little while back. I think it may have been a 'few years old' because she was living in a nondescript tower block in, IIRC, Sydney.

She certainly was not looking for a comeback then.

Ye, I heard she was living strictly off of song royalties, pension payments and social security at that time.

I recently put this list in the Olivia de Havilland thread. The 10 earliest surviving Best Actress Oscar Winners

 

1946  Olivia de Havilland 

1957  Joanna Woodward

1961  Sophia Loren

1964  Julie Andrews

1965  Julie Christie

1968  Barbara Streisand

1969  Maggie Smith

1970  Glenda Jackson

1971 Jane Fonda

1972 Liza Minelli

 

but thought it would need to be done here to go with its natural companion piece

 

1963 Sidney Poitier

1971 Gene Hackman

1975 Jack Nicholson

1977 Richard Dreyfuss

1978 Jon Voight

1979 Dustin Hoffman 

1980 Robert de Niro

1982 Ben Kingsley

1983 Robert Duvall

1984 F Murray Abraham

 

Latest year where the survivor is gone is 2005 with Philip Seymour Hoffman. 

 

Duvall or Nicholson to go first I think.

Recent photo of Robert Wagner with Joan Collins and his wife Jill St John. 

Not sure how much we can deduce about Wagners health from this photo but I definitely think he's looking his age and then some.

Don't worry, Joan and Jill should be safe. They're not on a boat.

Their plastic content should ensure they would float, anyway.

Nope, just the ones where there is more than one relevant thread.  On multiple occasions, when I've posted an obituary, someone comes along and suggests what they believe to be a more relevant thread than the one to which I've posted.  So as to satisfy everyone (and keep my eye rolls to a minimum), I double post.  Most of my entries are single thread.

Would really love it if the actors of "Alien" die in the movie order. But so far, it looked as if Ian Holm and Tom Skerritt die in the wrong order, but now Tom Skerritt leaves a stage play due to "personal reasons":

By the way, the replacement had to be replaced 2 weeks later.
