Who Should Be On The Deathlist 2014

[Paul Bearer 5,654]

George Cole.

I assume your watching the one show then?

[Lewd_Squirrel 309]

Carla Laemmle she's over 100, I think she'll be 105 next year, not sure, tho. Last surviving actress from both Lon Chaney Sr.'s Phantom of the Opera & Bela Lugosi's Dracula, I believe.

Heard good (ie bad) things re Leslie Phillips a year ago but resisted including him in my team this year as it was Nov/DEC I heard it.

 

Don't know recently but worth investigation as the year draws in.

George Cole.

Had a glimpse, yes...

[gcreptile 10,234]

Cornelius Gurlitt, 80, the man with the pictures in his attic. He's in poor health, a bit of a weirdo and apparently needs the pictures around him to live.

Dynamite Kid

[Bibliogryphon 8,660]

I am going to suggest Rodney Bewes and I also think Eddie Large might be an outside shot.

 

On the widow front what about Dolores Hope and Barbara Marx?

Dolores Hope died 2 years ago, Barbara Marx could be worth keeping an eye on tho

[RIP Wee Jum 1,558]

As John Graham has died I will put another name forward: Lauren Bacall

[Spade_Cooley 9,022]

New jacks: remember this isn't a "who gonna die in 2014" thread, it's a "who should be on the DeathList.net DeathList in 2014".

 

Figures have to be of note to a UK audience, preferably to the extent that they'll have a "tributes today have been paid to...." segment on the news. It's not the spot for DDP-style "a Big Brother contestant's niece has stage IV everything cancer" picks.

Valerie Harper

Wilko Johnson

Sam Simon

Billy Graham

Sir Run Run Shaw

Nancy Reagan

Did we do this for this year? For the 2012, I suggested Sid Waddell ( ) and Frank Carson ( ). (Neither made the Deathlist, but then, neither made my DDP either, proving I should listen to my own sage advice more often instead of looking for random 'unique picks'...)

 

Unless the search engine is failing me, no one has suggested Jimmy Hill for 2014 yet. He feels like the type of person they might go for, and is ill enough.

 

And given Priebke is dead, we need a new Evil Bastard on the list: Stuart Hall might fulfill that one.

Frankie Muniz

Thank you for that. I don't know where I had the info she was still alive from but you have saved me making a pillock of myself, because I had almost included her in the work game that I run.

The Dead or Alive? website perhaps? That site still lists her as among the living.

My vote goes to ex Aston Villa Chairman Sir Doug Ellis. He will 90 years old on the 3rd of January and having had prostate cancer for ten years, he really has been quite ill of late. Plus with the nickname of Deadly Doug who could be a finer addition to the 2014 Deathlist?

[Bibliogryphon 8,660]

Although it pains me to say it I think Tony Benn should be under serious consideration for 2014.

[adrian0719 210]

Forget Paul O'Grady himself! His terrier, Olga, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.

[Bibliogryphon 8,660]

Based on the footage from Thatcher's funeral only Douglas Hurd would be worth a punt from that side of the political spectrum.

[Sean 5,998]

What about Peter Carrington and Geoffrey Howe?
