Finally I don't have to suggest Lady Bird Johnson!

[Cup of Tea 3]

Im disapointed in Denis Nordens absence from the list.

He may not have any serious health problems.

but...meh.

Betty Ford ......... I noticed that you haven't her on the 2006 list ......... but have Gerald Ford .......... you could be doing yourselves out of a 'double' !!

Lindsay Lohan (acording to imdb) is in hospital after having an asthma attack and bursting a blood vessell in her neck. Shame really as i actually really like her. And i dont like many actresses. . .

Edmund Hillary, officially the first man to climb Mount Everest, born 20 July 1919 - so 87 this year. All that gruelling mountain sickness must have taken some toll on him...

[Tempus Fugit 214]

For someone younger how about morbidly obese Scotsman Robbie Coltrane.

 

He's 55 now, a prime heart attack age for someone in his physical state.

[Godot 149]

Might be an idea to keep an eye on old UK newsreaders as well as uncle Walt. Kenneth Kendall and Richard Baker are still alive. Also whatever happened to Bert Ford, the weatherman? He must be a good age if still alive. Can't find much about him on Google.

Dick Clark is someone to look out for! He may have seen his last ball drop!

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

Bert Weedon can't have many more strings on his guitar. Still seems to be eating though

[Canadian Paul 97]

Wendy Wasserstein, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright is critically ill with leukemia. She might not last until 2007, in fact she might be dead already as the news story I saw was 3 weeks old.

I was wondering why so many people had her on their DDP/Hartlepool teams...

[Deadornot 12]

If he survives Ariel Sharon will be a good prediction.

Bloody Richard O Sullivan is mentioned in the first event here as well !

Is there no getting away from him ?

Next year, you should have former U.S Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, because he will be 96 then! As for fame, he's probably the most well known Secretary of Agriculture, due to his getting fired for an off color comment in 1976.

 

Also, Wiki says he's the "Oldest prominent politician in the world"

The former Prime Minister of Australia turns 90 this year, and reported to be in declining health. Good pick for '07?

Robert Kee, born 1919.

Hans Dietrick Genscher, born 1927

Robert Rauschenberg 1925

Joseph Juran, now over 100 yrs old

Ronald Coase 1910

Mickey Spillane 1918

Arne Sucksdorff 1917, Swedish documentary film maker

Former King Michael of Romania 1921

Lena Horne 1917

Some old politicians who have probably been overlooked -

 

R. Sargent Shriver - VP Candidate in '72 - 90, has alzheimers or however you spell it

Earl Butz - 96, secretary of Agriculture in the 70s

Claiborne Pell - 88(?), Popular US Senator from Maryland, has parkinsons.

E. Gough Whitlam, Australian PM, 89 and said to be in " declining health"

Anthony Mamo - 96, Former Malta President

Alfonso López Michelsen - 92, Former Colombia President

Robet Byrd - 88, US Senator West Virginia, he is still a Senator and up for reelection this year, how long can he last?

 

Lesser knowns -

 

Arthur Link - 91, Governor of North Dakota in the 70s

Cliff Hansen - 93, US Senator Wyoming

Albert Roselini - 95, Governor of Washington

George Smathers - 92, US Senator Florida

Bill Avery - 94, Governor of Kansas

 

 

I know, most of these arent famous enough, but it may be something to look into.

Also, Former Interior Secretary Thomas Savig Kleppe has Alzheimers, he's about 86.

So many possibles for 2007.... How about Boris Yeltsin has he been tossed in here yet? Suree hse is only 74 heading to 75 but take a look at him and you know he bleongs here....

Sticking with the letter Y lets take a look at Astronaut Chuck Yeager who was blasted into life in 1923, if he can Mach it to next year he will be 84
