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

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!

Just joining the 100 Club in time for any 2014 DDPs, Gardnar Mulloy. He was the losing finalist in the 1952 US Open and was one half of the men's doubles winners at Wimbledon five years later.

Whilst I am not a fan of Mills And Boons books, how about this author.. http://en.wikipedia....iki/Pamela_Kent

 

She's had quite the active life.

 

She died 10 days after I posted this.

 

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.

Now that's a bit of a DL favourite isn't it, even if he was never on the front page. RIP

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?!

Wowsers. Never heard of the fucker. Incredible age, especially for someone who has been in a Soviet concentration camp....

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

A Happy Birthday today to Douglas Slocombe at 101.

 

 

Did the footage for ''Lights out in Europe'' in Danzig (I still can't say Gdansk, or Sri Lanka or Mumbai or Beijing etc etc , I'm auld :( ) and went onto a fabulous career as a cinematographer for the great Ealing comedies and the first three Indiana Jones films even in his 70's......

Ham & High carries a report; I wonder what they mean by

She spent much of the Second World War entertaining “sex-starved troops” stationed in the Middle East,
