Damn you I started reading that sentence and thought I had got my first hit for my Unusual Suspects DDP team.

 

Please come back when you have better news.

I don't want her to die yet. I want her to die in 2016 when I INCLUDE her.

Jack Rollins, producer and manager, associated with Woody Allen in particular, 100. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/obituaries/jack-rollins-dies-at-100-sharpened-talent-like-woody-allens.html?_r=0

 

Couple of DDP teams have him and some may want to update their personal survivors lists. Still awaiting a qualifying obit.

[Dr. Zorders 1,271]

He produced basically all Allen's films.

 

*shudder*

 

P.s. edit to add:

 

Rockefeller David Rockefeller is now a member of the club since a week ago.

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.

That's typical of the upper house of parliament, we're batting back refugees left, right and centre and he just pisses off and leaves us to it.

The young 'un is greatly enjoying the memoir of Jeremy Hutchinson QC, 100 year old highly obitable type who still appears to possess most marbles.

Mentioned once or twice round these parts recently, he showed up on Newsnight the other week to discuss his career. I hadn't realised he was alive (and was swiftly reminded he was someone's unsuccessful pick on the Deathrace!) and thought he looked bloody good for his age.

He was also Howard Marks lawyer which I hadn`t realised until a couple of days ago.Looks like he will outlive Howard who probably won`t be around for next years list.

The actor and screenwriter Olaf Pooley turned 100 last month. He is only the second actor to have appeared in Doctor Who to have reach this milestone the other is the Indian actress Zohra Sehgal who appeared in The Crusade and will be 102 at the end of this month.

Dr Bill Frankland might usefully be nicknamed "Chipper" after his performance on Desert Island Discs today. Erudite and clearly slammin' to his fave classical sounds aged 103. Highly old/highly obitable, mind.

The worlds oldest borderline alcoholic... although it looks like she won't be shifting soon?

[Sean 6,330]

I was thinking how many centenarians other than Herman Wouk are notable enough for next years list.I can think of 7 we could justify.

Clare Hollingworth

Douglas Slocombe

Reinhard Hardegan

Norman Lloyd

Jeremy Hutchinson

Piet de Jong

David Rockefeller

I personally considered Danuta Szaflarska for the DDP but I really doubt that she'll get a British obit.

I would say Gretel Bergman and Wolfgang Suschitzky has legitimate claims to fame too.

[Spade_Cooley 9,534]

Hollingworth is the only one I'd be 90% sure would get her death mentioned on a BBC news broadcast. Slocombe and Wouk might sneak in on a quiet day.
