Clive - Stig of the Dump - King was interviewed in the Guardian today. Still altert though he complains of losing his memory for words, and he has Parkinsons. 89, mebbe a long shot for 2014.

Haven't read through all posts but Olivia de Havilland must be a candidate. Also the incredible alcoholic Shane McGowan can't last forever. Apologies if they have already been nominated.

Probably doesn't meet the famous enough test, but vlogger Charles Trippy has some kind of brain cancer, I understand. It is supposedly a pretty successful You Tube channel.

Due to the storyline dragging on forever...........

How about Hayley Cropper who resides on Coronation Street?

Low hanging fruit!

Colourful past for an obit! (She used to be a man called Harold).

I haven't read the double issue TV guides for Xmas, so I don't know if she'll finally drop at Xmas or the New Year!!

Fernando Ricksen, 2014 may be a bit early for him but I thought I would throw his name in the mix

Interesting late curve-ball turned up on the national news today: Robert Demeger (just about) famous enough as an actor to scrape an obit but now the guinea pig in pioneering brain tumour treatment. S'cuse the cynicism but...this usually means he'll battle bravely, teach the doctors a lot and snatch some precious additional life. So, possibly, nailed on with higher profile coverage in 2014. Seriously, I had a DDP team of 23 yesterday and he's just taken Kalashnikov's place.

Oh aye, and the person suggesting Fred Dineage above...forget him, still working at Meridian and available most weeknights for form studying.

They might leave her/him holding on for the Valentines day episode.

Arthur Rankin Jr of Rankin/Bass Productions is still alive at 89. Couldn't find any info on his health, could be a good long shot pick.

I'm a tad confused where it states that that article was modified just last year. It refers to Dunst as being a 26 year old, yet she's 31. So perhaps she's cleaned up her lifestyle in those 5 years.
