Silvia Pinal and Amalia Aguilar seem like the next ones to go. Pinal was hospitalised a month or two ago for heart-related problems and looks like she has gained a lot of weight after her acting career. Aguilar is either in bed or in a wheelchair in most photos including those from her 95th. Elsa Aguirre still looked great a couple of years ago, Maria Victoria is apparently in good health as is Lorena Velazquez. Ignacio Lopez Tarso and Irma Dorantes have both had cancer(s) during the last 10 years but look great for their ages in new pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's apparently homeless now but got a liver transplant at the end of last year from some poor 30-year old (whatever he died to, what a waste of a life to die only to have your liver given to this bastard). Doctors were suprised how he's still alive.

arghton 6,695 Posted September 2, 2021 Had an interesting life though. Danhammer was born as Jouko Kalevi Juvonen in 1956/1957. He started his criminal career in the early 1980s with small crimes, for example forging checks. He pretended to be a Finnish-Canadian businessman and easily fooled people and for example lived in a hotel for months without paying anything, bought diamonds for debt and seduced and betrothed a local school teacher. After getting caught he disappeared and started a new life in Sweden. He changed his name to Carl J. Danhammer, claimed that he was adopted by a nobleman (not true). Started a company called Ren och Riv that employed over 20 people. After serving a prison sentence in Sweden he moved to Estonia, owned a restaurant and sang as "King Carl". He moved back to Finland in the late 90s/early 2000s and became the manager of Matti Nykänen with Petteri Jussila and likely scammed a ton of money from Nykänen. He was a right-wing populist candidate in a couple of elections until 2006 when he was removed from the lists after the party found out that he raped someone in Sweden in the 1980s. Scammed people until his death. Made a ton of money during his life but not enough to afford a new liver. He scammed Vesa Keskinen (known for owning Finland's largest department store that is also no. 3 on a Reuters 2005 list of ugliest buildings and monuments in the world) for 75,000 euros and an elderly person from Rovaniemi for 300,000 euros as an attempt to get enough money for a new liver to extend his life. In March 2020 he got a new liver and said that "he will live atleast another 25 years"... Also spent a lot of time in Ghana where he went trophy hunting. Had relations with the recently deceased Daasebre Oti Boateng (1938-2021) and, pictured, Ghana's former President John Kufuor (1938-) As well as other political elite in Ghana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
