Mirtha Legrand underwent a surgery to get a pacemaker this month, and just made her first appearance since the surgery. Looks amazing for 96 despite having some health history (survived cancer atleast twice, gallbladder operation in 2005, acute gastroenteritis and intestinal obstruction in 2019, emergency heart surgery in 2021 and this recent surgery)

Perennially ill Finnish schlager singer Kristian "Kisu" Jernström diagnosed with "agressive submucosal stomach cancer", but (somehow) doesn't sound too serious. He survived laryngeal cancer a few years ago, has a congenital pancreatic anomaly, others ailments (and was a heavy drinker in the past)

Kisu Jernström was going to have a surgery earlier this year, but instead he had sepsis and a peptic ulcer. Now his cancer has spread and he'll apparently have a massive surgery today but hopes he'll be alive next month.

French comic and comedian Guillaume Bats (wiki) dead at 36. Was suffering from osteogenesis since his birth. Appeared a lot on TV recently and managed to get a full Le Monde obit which surprised me.

Hit for my list, end of an era. She's not just any old Picasso ex, but the only one who left him (instead of he leaving her), shaking his machismo like none other. Accomplished painter in her own right, too.

Russian news sites say Ivan Krasko has been discharged and seems like they're suprised he survived it. Here's an image:

krasko.jpg.5896a235d004a1e8721321798f9aa45b.jpg

He's apparently been in hospital 10 times during the last 2 years. Russia's Leslie Phillips? 

Soviet/Russian actor Ivan Krasko, 92, reveals he's in a relationship with a 28-year-old (who definitely isn't after the money...)

 

Powered by insomnia, list of living classic bullfighters:

 

Bette Ford (1927) US actress/model-turned bullfighter. 

Julio Aparicio Martínez (1932) 50s and 60s Spanish bullfighter. Looked fine at the funeral of fellow bullfighter El Litri last year.

Rafael Peralta Pineda (1933) Younger brother of much more famous bullfighter Ángel Peralta Pineda who died a few years ago.

Curro Romero (1933) Spanish. Known most for his career of 42 years.

El Cordobés, Manuel Benítez Pérez (1936) Possibly the most legendary Spanish bullfighter of the 1960s who by the time he retired in 1971 was the highest paid bullfighter ever. Known especially from his theatrical, acrobatic style. 

El Viti, Santiago Martín Sánchez (1938) Greatest ever of Las Ventas. Declined somewhat in recent years. 

Jerezano, Luis Parra García (1940) Decrepit.

Francis Frank Evans (1942) El Inglés, Britain's best-ever bullfighter.

Eloy Cavazos (1949) Mexican legend.

 

 

Note:

Octavio Martínez "Nacional" (1929-1996) who is still marked somewhere living died in 1996.
