Guest Guest Posted September 19, 2013 Bad luck for one DDP team who picked her! According to a recent IMDb update, Lelita Rosa (b. 1908) died back in 1980 aged just 71.... shit times! makes you wonder how many other people supposedely over 100 that we're sitting waiting to die who have actually been dead for years.maybe half of the deathlist are allready dead and we just didn't know!

Predictor 1,018 Posted October 9, 2013 Who do you think will be the last one to die? My guess is Mildred Kornman. Not only is she the youngest from the list, but she also looks to be in great shape. Here are some pictures to prove it. 88th birthday. Note, Mildred is the one in the middle. Also 88th birthday, with her son Mildred in 1949, at age 24 Mildred in 1966, at age 40-41 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody always refer to it when talking about the last silent actors and I don't understand why. *Mona Ray died in 1986 *Lelita Rosa died in the 1980s *Dorothy Bartlam died in 1991 *Lupita Tovar was never in silent films. Her film The Veiled Woman was originally a talkie but only made silent to adjust for cinemas without sound equipments *Baby Ivy Ward is probably dead since a looong time ago *Magda Foy died in 1972 *Paulette Dubost was never in silent films. *Jack Murphy died in 1962 *Leon Holmes is probably dead since a looong time ago *Nanette Fabray was never in those silent Our Gang films *Arthur Trimble died in 1948 If the site was updated last in 2010, why didn't he/she include Yvonne Howell, Jack Totheroh, Bruce Guerin, Vondell Darr, Carol Adams, Peggy Ahern, Jane Margaret Truesdell, Jack Hanlon, Don Marion, Dickie Moore, Fay McKenzie, Mildred Kornman, Lassie Lou Ahern and Maria Riva?

Ulitzer95 12,657 Posted March 5, 2014 Problemo - Loni Nest's death is being reported as being a complete hoax. http://monsterkidcla...e-Golem?page=-1 (second comment down) This seems to be becoming an ever more increasingly frequent problem recently with obscure or long-forgotten celebs being reported dead erroneously or just complete fabrications being produced... The comment says she apparently died in Europe "years ago". I see she's already been declared dead on DDP. What happens in a situation like this? EDIT: FindAGrave, IMDb and Wikipedia all have her as dead, plus all her "life details" from the original obituary added. Quite worrying if this is a hoax. Massive problem with memorial pages I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
