Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 13, 2006 At last, recent news about Pinter's health! An excellent article, in which you can draw your own conclusions. There are cases for being hopeful if you have on a DDP list, but equally, it looks like he may not go just yet. Why oh why didn't I put my joker on Lou Rawls? I really need a proper forum to express my frustration... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really need a proper forum to express my frustration... Harold Pinter is in very poor health and remains a strong possibility to die before the end of this year. I would not give up on him just yet. Still 8 1/2 months to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted March 13, 2006 Still 8 1/2 months to go. I must have lost a month somehow then, 'cause I'd swear it's only mid march. Maybe I had a very, very long blackout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted April 18, 2006 AS Harold Pinter seems to have escaped from this forum let me bring him back to life with an update I saw him coming out a restaurant last week in Notting Hill. He looked terrible - very frail indeed. He can't be long for this world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) AS Harold Pinter seems to have escaped from this forum let me bring him back to life with an update I saw him coming out a restaurant last week in Notting Hill. He looked terrible - very frail indeed. He can't be long for this world. Well, it might have been better to bring it back to life in the Harold Pinter thread but, no matter. It is quite an interesting sighting/piece of information, since I had been hearing the opposite lately... something to muse...

There are restaurant bills in that part of the world that could reduce Lennox Lewis to crumbling frailty for a minute or two, are you sure the problem was only the cancer?

Banshees Scream 110 Posted May 11, 2006 Harold Pinter to perform a new work, despite frailty. (Top right article) God, when will this guy croak, he falls and gets injured and the media goes around saying that he's dead. He had had cancer for years, his time sould be shortly. Good thing he wasn't on last years list. The disapointment of his falsely reported death would have driven us all to our graves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted June 19, 2006 Why won't he just hurry up and die!? Good question. Nobel laureates for literature are supposed to pass away PDQ. Get on with it, Harold! You can do it! regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 22 Posted June 19, 2006 Harold Pinter to headline Book Festival. Hm... I nominate Lady Grendel to go to the festival and get us the 411 on Pinter. LG - you obviously love books and reading, and you're already in Scotland, so this seems the perfect taskette for you! Maybe the DLWG can fund your expenses out of petty cash.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted June 19, 2006 Not sure about this new tack, leaving the ethics aside.....if it got competitive all our members resident in Los Angeles and London would have an unfair advantage. Having studied every nominee on every list since 1987 I've come to the conclusion non of them ever lived in Maryport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twelvetrees 10 Posted June 23, 2006 Pinter was interviewed this evening on TV, and it has to be said he did not look at all well. The interview almost had the air of a valedictory about it, with much use of the past tense. Pinter also looked to be in pain throughout and seemed to have lost some of his lucidity. It put me in mind of the famous interview conducted with Dennis Potter shortly before his death - minus the interviewee sipping on morphine throughout, though. Months, rather than years, I fear.

Octopus of Odstock 2,194 Posted June 24, 2006 re. the interview mentioned above: Here's a preview which includes photos of him. Shame I missed it, but there was surprisingly little coverage/fanfare, even on the BBC pages beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
