Especially Bruce A. Fuhrer. Lots of fuhreri fungi named after him.

I’ve decided I’m only posting those who either fit into specific occupation categories, are over 100, are British or have a photo on their wiki page.

Could've sworn she had been mentioned on here before, but perhaps not as the search isn't returning anything.

French film actress Micheline Gary (wiki) died on 25 December 2022, at the age of 97.

Death record.

while sorting names for my longlist of names and googling their name, I just discovered that one of my "maybe" picks has died yesterday : Louis Velle, dead at 96 years old. He was one of the oldest french (hello Ullitzer) actors. He was married to another of my "maybe" picks, Frederique Hebrard (b. 1927), actress and author (probably more famous than him).

That Madonna image reminded me a bit of Silvio Santos, made me check on how he's doing... Here's a somewhat recent unedited image.

Starting to look a bit ghoulish?
