The 100 Club

[drol 11,945]

Because she is eight years younger of her claimed age, and that's pretty much documented, but she and her family insist.

[arghton 6,731]

Saalumarada's real birth date is a weird case...

She's apparently considered a potentially true supercentenarian claim by some 110club users, the Indian media has given a lot of birthdates/years for her, ranging from 1910 to 1919. She herself said that she was "101" around 2012 or 2013.

 

However, what's interesting is that there's an article by The Hindu from December 2003 available on Wayback Machine/Internet Archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20031205092109/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2003/12/01/stories/2003120101760100.htm

Bharata Yatra Kendra, very thoughtfully, got this 75-year-old woman to inaugurate Kannada writer-photographer K.P. Purnachandra Tejasvi's photography exhibition, Haaraduva Haadugalu, in Bangalore last week.

 

That's probably closer to the truth. Seventy-five in December 2003 would make her around 93 or 94 now.

So real ages may be 94 for Saalumarada and Fauja, 105 for McLaurin. Still impressive ages, but nothing comparable to their unsubstantiated claims.

Reminds me of when Ruby Muhammad died. I told Mrs msc and said that she (Ruby) had "claimed to be 112 but was only 105". Cue howls of laughter, ,which turned out to be about my use of the word "only" there!

 

Anyhow, that's what these people remind me of.

I feel like soon we might enter an era where there will be no living notable supercentenarians. Not mentioning the ones who might not be the age they claim to be, there are only six notable centenarians born before 1914 currently:

 

1. Stanisław Kowalski (1910-2022) Polish masters athlete and reason why the M105 WMA division was created in 2015, in great condition and potential future World's Oldest Man. The current world's oldest man is only 14 months older than he is. Died on the 5th of April 2022. 

2 1. Marita Camacho Quiros (1911-) First Lady of Costa Rica 1962-1966, widow of Francisco Orlich Bolmarcich (1907-1969). Wheelchair-bound and likely a dementia sufferer.

3. Eileen Ash (1911-2021) Cricketer, played seven test matches for England 1937-1949. Declined during the last year, could turn out to be a strong one though. Died ca. 3rd of December 2021.

4. Jessie Lichauco (1912-2021) Cuban-born American-Filipino philanthropist, turned her house into a makeshift hospital during WWII, widow of diplomat Marcial Lichauco (1902-1971). Frail and in a wheelchair. Died ca. 3rd of November 2021.

5 4 3. Dagny Carlsson (1912-2022) Swedish blogger and television personality. Has suffered from lung-related troubles, moved to a nursing home and recently donated her house to a cancer research foundation. Died suddenly on the 24th of March 2022 at 109.

3 2. Luis Torras (1912-) Spanish painter. Frail, but able to stand.

-. Luang Pho Yai (1913-2022) Buddhist monk who gained fame on social media in February 2022 for looking ancient. Died on the 22nd of March 2022 at 109.

6 5 4 3. Boris Pahor (1913-) Slovene novelist living in Italy known for Necropolis. Has looked horrible for over a decade, skeletal for the last three years and looked like an eldritch abomination on his 108th last month. However he can still walk.

Updated for the death of Stanisław Kowalski who died yesterday at the age of 111 as mentioned in World's Oldest, the oldest notable person is now Marita Camacho Quiros, former First Lady of Costa Rica.

Yeah, properly good actor (to think he was cast as an old villain in Some Like It Hot back in the 50s) and that's a remarkably good age. RIP.

Fauja Singh reached 111

 

 

 

So, the debate on his age might get lively if he goes this year. Four teams (mine included) currently fielding him on DDP and the difference  between claimed and apparent is a whopping two points. Frankly, if he's 17 years younger than what he claims the man's a total chancer. A year or two with no birth certificate just about makes sense but 1911 or 1928, come on...either you remember Ghandi being sentenced to six years in jail, or you don't

Excuse me but it seems to me that you have misunderstood me, I am talking about the group of actors who were born in 1922 in America, not in general for all over the years. For example Betty, Joan and Barbara (born 1922) could not make 100

[arghton 6,731]

Well here's another new picture of Fauja Singh, posted on a facebook page on the 4th of April:

Doesn't look like someone who'll see 2023 to me.

There was a post on FB earlier stating that American (UK-based) dancer Ann Hutchinson Guest MBE (wiki) has died aged 103.

The author has since removed it. Fake news or told to take it down before an official announcement? Hmm, let's see...

Several teams, including myself, have her in the Centenarians Deadpool.
