That's 3 'famous' centenarians gone in the last few hours. I wonder if Dame Vera or Olivia de Haviland will finally be included in the latest batch..They always seem to go in clusters for some reason, like no 9 buses  ! .

Think CoffinLodger is also counting John Manners, 105, whose death was reported in the same time frame.

Patil Puttappa dead at 101.

 

What a mess. He was clearly substantial to Indian porn industry, like the late Sudhakar Chaturvedi.

Oh aye, a shoo-in, though she sounded like all her marbles were intact. Made me wonder who the oldest person is to win a legal case about ageism.

I hate to sound disrespectful, but am I the only person who thought when they first saw that pic that it was the comedian Paul Whitehouse in a wig ?
