Émile Derlin Zinsou, former President of Benin, 91, would likely get an international obit, but I don't know about his health.

Zinsou dead at 98: http://www.africanews.com/2016/07/29/former-president-of-benin-emile-zinsou-dead/

 

Edit: This leaves Franco Zeffirelli as the only survivor from CP's original post.

Been a while since I posted here.

 

Anyway, German-born actor Peter Zander has died aged 96: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=peter-zander&pid=191346784

 

Very much a 1960s face in the UK with appearances in The Avengers, Compact and Dixon Of Dock Green.

Nick Zedd, underground film maker who coined the term Cinema Of Transgression for a group of indie black humour film makers in the 1980s, reportedly dead: 

I can't access Instagram particular post however: https://www.instagram.com/nickzedd/?hl=en

 

His gofundme sounds like a shopping list of ailments: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-nick-zedd-family-with-medical-emergency
