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.

Doctors confident 101 year old Patil Puttappa will make it....

 

Patil Puttappa's condition has deteriorated. Critical and on life support, days at most.

Dame Fanny Waterman will be 100 on 22 March - heard her on Radio Four this morning regretting allowing herself to be edged out of piano teaching and her leading role at the Leeds Piano Festival a few years back when she was a mere 95

Patil Puttappa dead at 101.

 

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

No longer alive*

Also, why mention his age when you already know it?

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 ? :unsure:
