Oh fuck me!

 

I did use the search function but mr. arghton didn't use his name in his post. Should've checked the recent posts though.

Yes, I was referring to the fact you could not use the search function. But Mr. Slichenko does not deserve at all to be reported dead twice.

I think there are a few folk missing from it. Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov seem to missing too and the likely would get obits. 

Edit - I am mistaken , they  got the People's Artist of Russia Award which came later.

We'll find out soon re Vladimir Menshov, as he's died aged 81, Covid!

List of Calypso Monarchs from 1939-2010 (not including the newest ones) confirmedly still alive (there are a few early ones who are presumably dead), as some younger calypso singers (including 2003 monarch Singing Sandra):

From Wikipedia:

The Calypso Monarch (originally Calypso King) contest is one of the two major annual calypso competitions held in Trinidad as part of the annual carnival celebrations.

 

List:

1956, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1972, 1973 and 1992: Mighty Sparrow, real name Slinger Fransisco (b. 1935) 8-time winner called the "Calypso King of the World". Undefeatable not only in calypso but also in health, as he looks much younger than what he is and still performs.

1964: Mighty Bomber, real name Clifton Ryan (1928-2022) Alive according to facebook, it has recent pictures of him (ca. 2019) and a message presumably from him about celebrating his 93th birthday. Often confirms that he is alive on his birthday on 30th of January by thanking god for another year.

1976, 1977, 1981, 1989, 1993, 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2017: Chalkdust, real name Hollis Liverpool (b. 1940) Starting to look older, but still performs.

1978: Calypso Rose, real name Linda McCartha Monica Sandy-Lewis (b. 1940) Like Chalkdust, performs but looks old and likely not in perfect health.

1979, 1985, 1987, 1991 and 1995: Black Stalin, real name Leroy Calliste (1941-2022) Got a serious stroke in 2014 that has affected his speech, however likely indestructible as he has apparently got much better by now.

1980: Lord Relator, real name Willard C. Harris (b. 1948) Can perform, but getting older.

1982: Scrunter, real name Irwin Reyes Johnson (b. ca. 1950 or before) "Undisputed king of Parang Soca" still performs occasionally.

1983: Tobago Crusoe, real name Ortniel Bacchus (b. ca. 1945/1946) Recently made a song about wearing covid.

1986: David Rudder (b. 1953) Called a "national hero" of Trinidad and Tobago.

1988, 1990, 1996 and 2007: Cro-Cro (b. unknown) Quite controversial nowadays.

1997: Gypsy, real name Winston Edward Peters (b. 1953) Also a politician.

2001: Denyse Pummer (1953-2023) Doesn't look healthy.

2002, 2008: Sugar Aloes, real name Michael Anthony Osouna (b. unknown) Singing since the 1970s. His son was murdered in 2006.

2010: Kurt Allen (b. unknown) "The Last Badjohn of Calypso"

Yue opera actress Wang Wenjuan has died at 95. Likely the biggest name of old generation Yue opera. Regarding decrepit cinema actors and actress from China, here's a quick list (only actresses with a wiki page in English):

 

1)Qin Yi (1922): the last superstar of the 50s. Suffering from thyroid cancer, heart failure and wheelchair bound.

2)Wei Wei (1922): at the zenith of her career in 1948, now frail and confined to a wheelchair.

3)Tian Hua (1928): old and frail actress who recently lost husband and son due to the cancer.

4)Wang Xiaotang (1934): already a new generation actress, Golden Rooster Award winner, not so seen in public these days.

5)Xie Fang (1935): legendary pre-Cultural Revolution actress who is enjoying good health in her old age.

Risto Aaltonen

Also known from many Finnish films such as multiple Uuno Turhapuro films...

https://www.iltalehti.fi/viihdeuutiset/a/dd3ae85e-22fd-41d6-b197-e3e02bbf3af2

Aarre Karén, another Turhapuro actor dead aged 88. Actor, voice actor in a ton of movies, Abraham Simpson in the Finnish version of the 2007 Simpsons Movie and more importantly Joker in the Finnish versions of Batman movies:

 

Just realized how much of the main cast of the last Turhapuro movie 2004 Uuno Turhapuro - This Is My Life (excluding background actors and ones with a very small time on the screen) are dead:

 

Produced by Ere Kokkonen (1938-2008)

Vesa-Matti Loiri (1945-2022) Uuno Turhapuro

Marjatta Raita (1944-2007) Elisabeth Turhapuro, Uuno's wife

Tapio Hämäläinen (1922-2008) Vuorineuvos Tuura, Elisabeth's father

Marita Nordberg (1929-2009) Tuura's wife, Elisabeth's mother

Simo Salminen (1932-2015) Sörsselsson

Elli Castrén (1944-) Unelma Säikkö

Pentti Siimes (1929-2016) Colonel

Helge Herala (1922-2010) Teacher Happonen

Kristiina Elstelä (1943-2016) Elviira

Heikki Kinnunen (1946-) Kullenberg

Ville-Veikko Salminen (1937-2006) Actor

Aarre Karén (1932-2021) Critic Aatos

Anja Pohjola (1931-) Anni

Tarja-Tuulikki Tarsala (1937-2007) Enni

Jope Ruonansuu (1964-2020) Imitator

Hannele Lauri (1952-) Nursing home director

 

Even though the movie takes place in a nursing home, a very dead main cast for a movie that was released a bit under 17 years ago.

In addition, Loiri and Lauri have both been sick for the last 15 years.

Members of the cast in 2004:
