Actually she didn’t achieve prominence until now, right here on Deathlist.  Prior to her death no one noticed her ‘sculptures’ or had a clue who she was.  She is most noteworthy for being the only Phyllida who will ever be posted on DL.

Juhani Palmu made a few rare public appearances recently.

Doesn't look that bad, but according to this article last week he "didn't react to anything happening around him and looked like he was in very poor health".

Still not dead but Juhani Palmu had severe flu and a "near-fatal infection" a week or two ago, now discharged and recovering.

I don't understand how he is still alive. For me he's the ultimate king of immortals

He does have a Dilip Kumar/Zsa Zsa Gabor-like health history, but he's 20 years younger which makes it much less impressive.
