Well, Russian deadpooling superstar Anastasia Zavorotnyuk is "rapidly" losing fans on Instagram because of her cancer, how dare she?

https://thetimeshub.in/anastasia-zavorotnyuk-is-losing-interest-fans-fans-unsubscribe-from-the-star/1969/

I'm Russian, she's the star of our adaptation of "The Nanny", my mom would watch it on TV, when I was a little kid. We've already lost Valeri Zolotukhin (actor), Zhanna Friske (pop star), Mikhail Zadornov (a comedian, Russia's answer to Bernard Manning) and Dmitry Hvorostovsky (operatic baritone) to brain cancer. I really hope that the news about her cancer is a tabloid hoax. There has been no confirmation of her illness by her family and agent/publicist. In 2006, Lyubov Polishchuk (the actress who played the nanny's mother) herself died of spinal cancer. We've lost Alexandra Nazarova (the actress who played her grandmother) last year as well. If the rumours are true, she'll score me 10 points in DDP, in case she's obitable

Dutch TV legend Aart Staartjes has had a stroke. The 79-year old Staartjes is at home recovering.

 

This guy lives only a few miles away from me. His death would be a shock The Netherlands. He is TV royalty

 

Dutch news are reporting he got into a serious traffic collision.

 

Apperantly he was driving one of these and got in a collision with a car and was flung out of his vehicle. He was rushed to the IC with "severe injuries" but so far he seems to be alive. Link (in Dutch)

 

Here is also a photo of the crash side.

Probably also someone who wouldn't get an obit outside the Netherlands (maybe one in Flanders but that's as international as it get's)

Well now she supposedly left hospital because treatment doesn't make sense anymore.

It all sounds a little sensationalist though, but maybe that's the translation, or that's just how it is there.

Oh no it's quite sensationalized. I still think she'very close to death, but the Russian tabloids have been eating this up for months.

Just announced he died from his injuries. The accident happened only 5 kms from where I live.

He was an icon of Dutch tv.

 

 

Farewell ome Aart.
