YoungWillz 21,050 Posted October 19, 2022 I'm having a look around, it's possible Jan Rennison was the Australian entrant for the 1965 Miss World competition, certainly looks like the same girl: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/leaving-for-the-miss-world-beauty-contest-held-in-london-news-photo/1078931612 If so, she was 20 in that year, so born around 1945 and died aged 74/75? Edit: the Space 1999 site gives a dob of 1947 but confirming she is the same lassie: https://catacombs.space1999.net/main/crguide/vcgar.html Yep definitely dead @whoismakoto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the Space 1999 website said she moved to France in the 1990s. So I found this: https://www-acte--deces-fr.translate.goog/acte-de-deces-hucqueliers?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Jan Rennison (Jan Virginia Rennison) born Feb 25, 1945, died 30 January 2020. To have probate granted in the UK, she probably had property here. Voila! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last credit was in 2010. So sad to report that actor Donald Elson died back on May 7 at the age of 99. IMDb is updated but no obituary, a new name maybe for the next SAG AFTRA FALL.

whoismakoto 328 Posted October 23, 2022 I'm pretty sure the child actress Mandy Miller (Wiki) is still alive. There's just a problem when I search about her. If wiki and Imdb were to believe, she is Carmen Isabella Miller in real life, is living in UK, and is still married to a Christopher Davey. My reference is 192.com. There are 3 Carmen Davey in 192.com but none of them seems to match Mandy. For Christopher Davey, there's one who has a relative named "Carman I Davey", living in Dumfries, Scotland. If this Carman Davey is Mandy, I think it would have made sense why she was called Mandy. Hoping for confirmation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, she’s “only 78” ie younger than life expectancy. Best place to uncover info on these types is FB or Twitter. Worth having a search on there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted October 26, 2022 An odd one is my perennial DDP pick Lawrence Gordon Clark, director of the Ghost Story for Christmas strand, Harry's Game, etc etc. I've got him down in my notes as born 1929, because years ago (over a decade ago) I read an interview which celebrated him recently turning 80, and he seemed to be the June 1929 birth in the BMDs. IMDB and everywhere else is now running with a June 1938 DOB though, and the source is... Lawrence Gordon Clark himself! Which means he's now mentioned two different ages in the time I've been on the internet, and the "correct" one I can't find in the BMDs. Talented man, however frustrating this may be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that applies to everyone else listed under it - even the King! The event shouldn't be on there at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they shouldn't be added names that are speculated / not confirmed. The site is getting worse IMO. Hopefully Elon Musk will buy it and sack everyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
