Actually Carol Channing was in excellent health till last year. I would absolutely think she would make it to 100 and beyond. You can argue everyone thinks the same about Betty White and she was put on anyway, but that is fairly recent and surely can't put on the list every old actress who looks good for her age (there is  a plethora of actresses born in the 20s that still looks amazing).

And Betty White is a bigger name than Carol Channing and will get more coverage and attention when she dies than Carol has had today.

No she won't.

She may well get a bigger obit stateside but 99% of what she has done has been US centric,  apart from Golden Girls which was shoved onto Channel 4.

I think the Golden Girls itself might be what  gives her slightly more coverage in the UK as well. It was mentioned in Coronation Street the other week.

Goodbye, Dolly.

My mother hated her. I hope I had her in some pool just as a symbolic tip o the cap to me mum but I doubt it.  

SC

You picked her in Alt Obits apparently...

The excellent point was made by one of my deadpoolers that Channing was almost certainly the last person living that Rich Little used to impersonate.  I think Kissinger may have been a possibility but if not he’s probably correct.

Glad I chose to keep her on my list at the last minute. Officially on the board now.

I just thought of her, I always thought she was famous enough to be on the list wasn’t she ?
