September - DIANA RIGG

 

 

I'd go with Diana Rigg for September too. I know Ruth Bader Ginsburg was important but she didn't marry James Bond or kick ass in The Avengers, did she? 

 

As for August - I'd go for John Hume (I'd say Benny Chan but his death got surprisingly little coverage considering the films he made). I genuinely have little idea who Chadwick Boseman was as I have zero interest in the Marvel franchise.

Julie Strain
Dustin Diamond

[Lafaucheuse 4,043]

Just find out that january usually takes a young prominent figure in an accident : 

30/01/2021 : Sophie 

26/01/2020 : Kobe Bryant 

21/01/2019 : Emiliano Sala 

15/01/2018 : Dolorès O’Riardan

[Vinegar Tits 605]

We haven't done this for a while so here's my picks for most significant deaths of 2021 so far:

 

JANUARY - Phil Spector

(honorable mention to Larry King)

 

FEBRUARY - Captain Tom

(yes, it really ought to be Christopher Plummer, but...)

 

MARCH - Murray Walker

(honorable mentions to Peter Lorimer/Bunny Wailer)

 

APRIL - Prince Philip. Will probably be the most significant death of 2021

(honorable mentions to Shirley Williams/Michael Collins)

 

MAY - Norman Lloyd

(v tempted to put Freddy from Rod, Jane & Freddy to be honest)

 

JUNE - Kenneth Kaunda

(honorable mentions to Ned Beatty/Edward De Bono)

 

JULY - Raffaella Carrà. Yes, I'm biased, but this was a seriously *huge* death

(honorable mentions to Jackie Mason/Tom O'Connor/Andy Fordham)

 

AUGUST - Charlie Watts

(tough one as also Una Stubbs  Don Everly, Gerd Müller, Nanci Griffith, Lee Scatch Perry, Ed Asner. Am v tempted to say Geronimo the alpaca too...)

 

SEPTEMBER (so far) - Jean-Paul Belmondo

(honorable mentions to Sarah Harding/Michael K Williams)

 

OK  argue, do your worst, maybe even agree!

 

[John Key 747]

JANUARY - Larry King

January: Bob Saget

 

 

Sidney Poitier won an Oscar (and was the first black male to win one), 2 Golden Globes, a Grammy, and a BAFTA. He was knighted by the Queen, received a Kennedy Center Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a BAFTA Fellowship, was ranked in the top 25 best male actors ever by AFI. He broke the glass ceiling for people of colour in cinema, and was internationally renowned.

 

Bob Saget was a mediocre comedian barely heard of outside the States who presented America’s Funniest Home Videos.

 

How is he the most significant death of January 2022?

Seeing as this thread is effectively becoming “When Newbs Say the Stupidest Things”, I may as well just go with the flow.

 

Most significant death of Jan 2022:
