Massive name in Finland, genuinely suprised he's dead. Even though he was quite a hellraisrr and had been very slowly dying for ages, as I once mentioned in the Immortals thread:

Rest in Peace. Raymond Briggs who made the story, characters for my favourite animated film and Vesa-Matti Loiri, one of my favourite actors, horrible day this far

 

Yeah, it was a surprise for me too, despite his past health issues. It has now been confirmed he had liver and esophageal cancer. He apparently could have lasted two more years if he had surgery, but he refused all treatment.

Just realized how much of the main cast of the last Turhapuro movie 2004 Uuno Turhapuro - This Is My Life (excluding background actors and ones with a very small time on the screen) are dead:

 

Produced by Ere Kokkonen (1938-2008)

Vesa-Matti Loiri (1945-2022) Uuno Turhapuro

Marjatta Raita (1944-2007) Elisabeth Turhapuro, Uuno's wife

Tapio Hämäläinen (1922-2008) Vuorineuvos Tuura, Elisabeth's father

Marita Nordberg (1929-2009) Tuura's wife, Elisabeth's mother

Simo Salminen (1932-2015) Sörsselssön

Elli Castrén (1944-) Unelma Säikkö

Pentti Siimes (1929-2016) Colonel

Helge Herala (1922-2010) Teacher Happonen

Kristiina Elstelä (1943-2016) Elviira

Heikki Kinnunen (1946-) Kullenberg

Ville-Veikko Salminen (1937-2006) Actor

Aarre Karén (1932-2021) Critic Aatos

Anja Pohjola (1931-) Anni

Tarja-Tuulikki Tarsala (1937-2007) Enni

Jope Ruonansuu (1964-2020) Imitator

Hannele Lauri (1952-) Nursing home director

 

Even though the movie takes place in a nursing home, a very dead main cast for a movie that was released a bit under 17 years ago.

In addition, Loiri and Lauri have both been sick for the last 15 years.

Members of the cast in 2004:

French illustrator Sempé dead at 89… really sad, I was always a fan… +1 for my list

 

Very sad but surely lived to grand old age. Two weeks ago I had my first hit of the year and now I'm at three already, the long-awaited enema is finally taking effect!

4. Paavo Lipponen (1941-) Prime Minister 1995-2003, impressive history of heart problems

Made a public appearance yesterday: https://www.seiska.fi/Kotimaa/Talta-nayttaa-Paavo-Lipponen-81-nyt-avaa-Seiskalle-kuulumisiaan-Terveys-on-stabiili/1176373

 

Says his health is stable, and looks quite well. However, I think this is the first time he has been seen using a walking stick.

5. Astrid Swan (1982-) Musician and singer, incurable cancer

 

Swan posted an update to her blog last month. She is apparently doing a lot better now and the tumors in her brain have shrunk. She also had COVID in March.

I know many Italian actors which could represent great demises:

 

Lino Banfi (b. 1936) a myth

Paolo Villaggio (b. 1932) Fantozzi 03.07.2017

Gianfranco d'Angelo (b. 1936)

Camillo Milli (b. 1929)

Paolo Paoloni (b. 1929)

Armando Francioli (b. 1919)

Raffaele Pisu (b. 1925)

Gianrico Tedeschi (b. 1920)

Paolo Ferrari (b. 1929)

Guerrino Crivello (b. 1941) serious health problems

Enzo Garinei (b. 1926) worked many times with Bud Spencer as a villain

Corrado Olmi (b. 1926)

Jimmy il Fenomeno (b. 1932) slapface

Andrea Bianchi (b. 1925) worst filmmaker ever

Tonino Valerii (b. 1934) western movie guy 14.10.2016

Mario Milita (b. 1923) dubbing legend 22.08.2017

Fernando Cerulli (b. 1926)

Jack La Cayenne (b. 1937)

 

Actresses

Valentina Cortese (b. 1923) remember her in The Girl who Knew Too Much

Franca Valeri (b. 1920)

Valeria Valeri (b. 1921)

Luisa Rivelli (b. 1930)

Gina Lollobrigida (b. 1927)

Sophia Loren (b. 1934)

Claudia Cardinale (b. 1938)

 

And Willz, can you find out if John Bartha (b. 1920) is still alive? He lived in a camper in the US, but I doubt he's still living like that at 96.

Enzo Garinei dead at 96.

That’s not a genuine obituary. It’s a bot site.

I had noticed it a few times in Twitter, but hadn't realized it was a bot site. Here is a better obit. John Till is definitely deceased.
