ThePrematureBurial 224 Posted December 9, 2018 Jean-Louis Trintignant will celebrate his 88th birthday on tuesday reciting poetry on stage. https://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/cinema/a-87-ans-trintignant-est-encore-avec-plaisir-au-cinema-et-au-theatre-283029 Michel Piccoli, however, who will celebrate his 93th birthday on december 27, has led a secluded life during the last years. I was not able to find recent photos/videos/interviews. He may possibly go before Trintignant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted December 9, 2018 All these interviewers ask him how he feels about his daughter's murderer being a charting musician in 2018 as if nowt happened. How do they think he feels FFS? Anyhow, Trintignant is a fine actor and will likely be on my 2019 DDP team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piccoli is older than Trintignant and I didn't know that the latter planned to be on stage @msc Sometimes journos ask stupid questions like this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 4, 2019 Governor of the Swaida Amer al-Ashi expressed condolences over the death of former minister Gado Ezzeddin (34 scrabble points for those keeping score) in the era of unity between Syria and Egypt. At the invitation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, al-Ashi presented condolences. The Syrian minister died a few days ago in Cairo at the age of 92 years, where he joined the military college in the first batch after independence and joined the Salvation Army and participated in several battles in Palestine against the Israeli occupation. He was appointed Minister of Presidential Affairs, then Minister of Public Works, then Minister of Local Government in the United Arab Republic. He left after the separation to Egypt and returned to Syria after the corrective movement and lived between Syria and Egypt until his death in the Nile.
