TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted December 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Katyusha said: I suppose it's possible she died overnight and it was just announced as "this morning", but yes it does seem very far fetched that he knew so long before anyone in the media. A more likely explanation is either that she was still alive then but he knew she was on her way out, or it was just an unfortunately timed coincidence, which isn't that unlikely given how quick people can just drop dead at that age. I think the former is more likely. The thread really reads like a tribute. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her 100th birthday is in a month and there will be some kind of a special movie event in which she will be joined by a couple of celebs including Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno and Carol Burnett. Will this still be going ahead? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted December 31, 2021 Really sad news, and such a shame she didn't quite make her ton. The WJM newsroom has really taken a battering this year. May have to go out and buy cheesecake in tribute. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
