The 100 Club

[TAFKAG 70]

Assuming she makes it to Tuesday, pianist Alice Herz-Sommer will become the first (I think) supercentenarian Holocaust survivor.

[Guest Guest]

well if she's still making documentaries at her age she has to be a contender to be the oldest person in the world in a few years!

Yeah I know. I had her penciled in for next several months ago when I was going through lists of things like aging authors and another of ailing authors. Penciled her in the same day as Iain Banks and well, what do you know? They both end up dying.

Sir Nicholas Winton is well entitled to a mention here I think. Helped saved the lives of hundreds of Jewish children at the outset of WW2, and gratifyingly many of them were able to thank him 70 years later.

Paranormal expert Alexander Imich is 111 years old today. He's the 2nd oldest man in the world officially. I'm starting to think he must have slipped off to the other side during one of his seances .How much longer can he last?!

Word on the Twitter is perennial "I recognise the face, not the name" actress Margery Mason has died aged 100. Probably better known for cameos in Harry Potter and Princess Bride, but she was very good in Jonathan Creek.

IMDB has her listed as having died on january 25 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0556834/ but that's the only online indication I can find that she's dead.There's n o reason to disbelieve it though so she probably is dead .I'm sure some sort of obit will appear in the next few days/weeks
