Suprised Juraj Jakubisko isn't more talked here. He had a heart transplant over a decade ago after suffering a heart attack and other problems, then broke his leg. In 2021 he spent two months in serious condition with covid and a kidney disease. 

 

Juraj Jakubisko dead.

Can't find if Finnish director/writer/editor Harry Lewing is still alive, was watching a documentary on Operation Stella Polaris on the television a while ago and there was an interview of him filmed twenty years ago. 100 this year if still alive.

 

Yu Miu-Lin gets some HK cinema lifetime award. Able to attend and walk without aid despite her advanced pulmonary fibrosis and other health problems. From other HK ancients 92-year-old actress Lana Wong attended (also the wife of racing driver Albert Poon), To Kong (imdb) who is around 86 was there, actress Lai Suen (imdb) who has been in failing health the last decade sent a video message, I don't think she'll make it to 2024.

French musician and actor François Hadji-Lazaro has died at 66.

 

I know him as Gnaghi, the mute assistant of undertaker Rupert Everett in Cemetary Man, a Dylan Dog rip-off which is quite a cult for a certain generation.

Irma Serrano b. 1933  Tabloid fodder in Mexico but also was a popular singer and actress on stage/film and  even ran for political office

Various reports that Irma Serrano has died: https://mexico-as-com.translate.goog/tikitakas/fallece-irma-serrano-la-tigresa-a-sus-89-anos-n/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

 

Might be being disputed but all reports are in the last half hour and there's plenty.

Ryuho Okawa, founder/CEO of Japanese megacult Happy Science, has died of a stroke aged 66. No English language sources on the beat at this hour but I'm sure they will be published soon. 

 

Okawa was viewed as the current incarnation of the god "El Cantare" by his followers, and his cult notably had a rivalry with the much more infamous Aum Shinrikyo cult during the 1990's. Okawa even survived a sarin gas-based assassination attempt. Happy Science also made the news during the pandemic for their pushing of "spiritual vaccines" - essentially offering to pray the COVID out of people's bodies for the modest price of 400 bucks per blessing. Enjoy Hell, weirdo!

Aira Samulin (wiki) Finnish dancer, dance teacher, entrepreneur not dead but suffered a severe bout of flu recently. She's 95 and has seemed pretty much indestructible for the last few decades, very active, always appearing everywhere. Suffered a stroke in 2018 but recovered completely in two weeks.

Samulin doesn't look too bad at 96:

She seems confident she'll reach 100, but this time whoever posted those images forgot to crop out her wheelchair from one of them.
