Ahh sad, she played Dora's Mother in my favourite film Life is Beautiful alongside Roberto and Nicoletta.

These days I avoid posting deaths of local celebrities that haven't been mentioned on the forums before, but I'll make an exception here:

 

Heikki Silvennoinen, Finnish comedian, musician and actor has died at 70 from a rare blood disease. I'm quite shocked, he's an absolute A-lister and household name in the country, best known from the Kummeli comedies: 

 

Edit: Was just talking with a friend. Earlier today he'd heard it from the radio and mentioned it to a staff member at a store he goes to a lot. Staff member went to mention it to other members of staff and suddenly he realized pretty much everyone around is talking about it and processing it. Shows how big he was here.

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.

Xie Fang dead at 89.

I believe her TV show with the other fat French lady was the basis for The Two Fat Ladies in the UK.

It is with great regret and sadness that I announce the death of Ney Latorraca, a much-loved actor here in Brazil, at least by me, who played remarkable and expressive roles. He had prostate cancer a few years ago, had his prostate removed, but this year it returned in metastasis. He had been hospitalized since December 20, and died today, December 26. RIP Ney Latorraca, 80 years (1944-2024)

Pretty decent list. Out of curiosity, why Kuusela at no. 1? Does she have health issues?

 

Surprised you didn't pick Matti Ruohonen, given he has been absent from public for over a year due to health issues.

What about Anja Pohjola (b. 1931)? I don't know if she's actually notable in Finland, mind, I just know of her from the intro to the show Hyvät herrat:
