Hey! Since I've had a Swedish hit on my main team 2 years in a row, I'll compile a list of old Swedes that are somewhat notable.

 

*Under construction*

 

Egon Sundberg (February 27, 1911): The oldest living Swedish footballer. He played as a left winger in a team in the top league. However, he didn't get any caps in the national team.

 

Ingeborg Sjöqvist (April 19, 1912): The oldest living Swedish athlete to have competed in the Olympics. She was a diver in the 1932 & 1936 editions.

 

Ebbe Grimsland (June 11, 1915): Swedish musician, mainly as a violin and mandolin player. He's made more than 200 compositions. Don't know his current health status.

 

Carl-Henrik Hermansson (December 14, 1917): Political leader for the then called Communist Party of Sweden. Praised Stalin at the time of his death, something he later regretted. His wife died in 2001. Don't know his current health status.

 

Guje Lagerwall (January 13, 1918): Small-scale actress whose notability comes from the fact that she's the daughter of the famous movie director Victor Sjöström. Don't know her current health status, probably not even obitable anyways.

 

Gunnel Vallquist (June 19, 1918): Author and translator who is a member of the Swedish Academy (you know, the ones who decide who wins the Nobel Prize in litterature). Don't know her current health status.

 

Eva Henning (May 10, 1920): Actually born in United States, but appeared in many Swedish films in the 1940s and 1950s. They were mostly directed by her husband Hasse Ekman, a.k.a. one of the greatest Swedish directors of all time. Eva appearently lives in Norway nowadays.

 

Barbro Hiort af Ornäs (August 28, 1921): Actress who won an award for "Best Actress" in the 1958 Cannes Film Festival. Ok, three other Swedes did as well, but only she and Bibi are still alive. Don't know her current health status.

 

Olof Hanner (July 12 or December 7, 1922): Mathematician who created many formulas that I don't understand enough to explain here. Except that he helped develope the board game Go! Don't know his current health status.

 

Ulf Grenander (July 23, 1923): Another highly accomplished mathematician. Here's a book he published just recently in 2012: http://www.amazon.co...t=relevancerank

Not sure if he's living abroads at the moment.

C.-H. Hermansson died on July 26, 2016: http://www.svd.se/hermansson-skamdes-over-hyllningen-till-stalin

 

And now Guje Lagerwall is the only person still alive from the list...Maybe it's time for a new list?

Yet another one to keep an eye on for future reference is the French actress Jacqueline Pagnol, who was born in 1926, and thus is entering our target range. Apart from being a reasonably notable actress in her own right, her chances of a UK obit are boosted by the fact that she was the wife (and muse) of the writer and director Marcel Pagnol. She is best known for appearing in Nais (1945) and the original version of Manon de Sources (1952), in the role which later made Emmanuelle Beart famous.

 

She scores reasonably highly on my babe-ometer:

Unfortunately, I can't find any current health information on her.

 

Current information - dead: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.lefigaro.fr/cinema/2016/08/23/03002-20160823ARTFIG00124-mort-de-jacqueline-pagnol-epouse-et-muse-de-l-ecrivain.php&prev=search

 

One DDP team awaitez le usual.

Wolfgang Suschitzky dead, as reported here. https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8294-the-100-club/?p=277782

 

 

Get Carter is his big film, but I am quite fond of Theatre of Blood. Vincent Price gets to ham up Shakespeare and bump off a variety of theatre critics from Michael Hordern to Arthur Lowe. Also, Diana Rigg is in it.

 

 

 

Diana Rigg...as a villain!
