Going through pages of Finnish people born 1912-1929 on the English wikipedia. Defintely still living people in bold 

 

Eeva Kilpi (1928-) Feminist poet. Said that her "life is completed" in 2003, but still writing and active. Unable to attend a lifetime event ceremony in 2023 due to health reasons.

Recent articles on Eeva Kilpi talk of her like she's dead already, and there have been lots of events celebrating her life recently. Strong implication she's very ill and a good low requirement pool possibility for next year.

Many outlets are referring to Silvia Pinal as "the last Diva from Mexican Golden Age". There's plenty left, just to cite some: Maria Victoria, Alma Rosa Aguirre, Tongolele, Elsa Aguirre, Alicia Caro, Rosa Carmina, Irma Dorantes.

 

Most of them are frail, but Elsa Aguirre seems to be in excellent health.

And more older; Sara Montes, Ernestina Garfias, Virginia Guiterrez, Ana Luisa Peluffo, Elsa Cardenas, Martha Ofelia Galindo, Amparo Garrido, Rosita Arenas, Verionica Layo etc

 

Sergio Corona is the only living male Mexican actor who was born in 1920s in my list

Niels Arestrup, one of the most acclaimed french actor dead at 75. Won 3 cesar of best supporting actor, was one of Audiard’s favorite actor. A rather quiet figure on the public scene but with an impressive talent and huge fame.

Composer Ilkka Kuusisto looking ultra frail at the Finnish independence day reception today

From today's Finnish Independence Day reception...

 

Professor Esko Antola (77) looks very frail:

Archiater Risto Pelkonen (93) decrepit as usual:

oao2.thumb.jpg.138f7804a0228898e0ec5b5b695d33a2.jpg

 

 

Mathematician Arto Salomaa (90) looks extremely frail:

oao1.jpg.13f0e215b723e07927e1f47ef5a14b61.jpg

 

 

Former Archbishop John Vikström (93) and minister/political gray eminence Jaakko Iloniemi (92) were also there but didn't look particularly frail. Bishop Eero Huovinen (80) looked frail, but apparently only due to osteoporosis.

 

Notable absences included:

Former first ladies Tellervo Koivisto (95) and Eeva Ahtisaari (88). I think it's been years since Koivisto last attended.

Former President Tarja Halonen (80) who's on a trip to the Saudis

Current President's father, IIHF Hall of Famer and former Director of NHL Central Scouting Göran Stubb (89)

I also didn't spot former Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen (83) there. He has a long history of health problems with around seven heart surgeries and attended last year.

https://www.terra.com.mx/entretenimiento/2021/9/27/luis-de-alba-se-reencuentra-con-vicente-fernandez-en-hospital-de-guadalajara-video-19853.html

Luis de Alba (Luis Alba Garcia), Mexican comedian now in the same hospital where Vicente Fernandez has been for two months. 

 

76-year old Luis de Alba is a friend of Vicente "Chente" Fernandez and has not been allowed to visit Fernandez. Here the two are in 2018:

 

Luis de Alba hospitalised again with heart problems.

 

Edit: They're saying that the "prognosis is reserved, but there is hope for recovery" and that he suffers from an unspecified lung disease.

 

One of the articles says that some years ago he made a bet with 7 other comedians on who'll be the last one alive, each depositing 2500$ on a bank account once one of them dies. The others were Alberto Rojas (1944-2016), Pedro Weber (1933-2016), Alfonso Zayas (1941-2021), Benito Castro (1946-2023), Rafael Inclán (1941-) and Alejandro Suárez (1941-)
