If true he's off my dance card for 2024's Comedy theme team. Loved him, admittedly a pale imitation in places for Leslie Phillips, but some cracking performances. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went straight to George Layton's twitter account, where I thought there'd be such news. Nothing mentioned.

The death announcement from his agency doesn't give a date however does have the Guardian obit linked at the bottom. Anyone have any ideas as to which date is more likely to be correct and if his Wikipedia page (and probably other sites) needs correcting. Telegraph obituary now changed to agree with the Guardian obituary – he died on 18 April, NOT 8 May. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gisooo 3,320 Posted October 20, 2023 American actress Elizabeth Hoffman (Wiki) allegedly dead last August at the age of 96 according to her IMDb page Best known as Beatrice Ventnor in drama series Sisters, also appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation, L.A. LAW, Little House on the Prairie, Matlock and played Meryl Streep mother in The River Wild (1994) Edit: There is no source at the moment, maybe I'm not looking hard enough as I can't even find her in the records because of her last name. Maybe its real, maybe its not real like Sam Groom who is still alive. @Ulitzer95 can Mike Barnes write to her family for an obit if it's true? She was living in Malibu, CA as per StarTriger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,392 Posted October 20, 2023 11 minutes ago, Ulitzer95 said: @tracy you’re good at sorting shit… help? Ok. I think IMDb is probably lying its ass off with her date/place of birth, and she was actually born Betty Jean Irish in Los Angeles on September 28, 1926. I wasn't convinced of this in the past, but I am now. One, she was described as "92 and going strong" in this January 2019 tweet, which would obviously be premature for February 1927, but not for the above dob. Two, an autograph address here leads to a George and Elizabeth Hoffman. If you reverse-engineer it, it's clearly the above person (same dob + there's a Betty Irish who married a George Hoffman in CA records). Is she dead? Maybe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracy 2,392 Posted October 23, 2023 On 20/10/2023 at 19:17, tracy said: blah blah blah Got a THR obit, so I'm revising this. They went with February 1926 in Oregon as her DOB/POB, no birth name, and say she has sons named Chris and Paul. Well, Chris and Paul do appear connected to the Betty I mentioned above, but if you check their birth records, their mother's maiden name was actually "Tibert". I briefly looked in records for whoever Tibert is and if it is our woman, and didn't see anything, but also I'm really tired so I don't care that much so there's that. But the more important part of the mystery is solved and she is dead. RIP. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
