I have a feeling that her DOB is wrong

@Ulitzer95 I rely on editing her page on the French Wikipedia, where it was said that she was born in 1911 and died in 2005 . But then everything changed.

 


I seriously doubt that. If you look at pictures of her from the 1940s/50s, she's only a young starlet!

If you search the BnF newspaper archives there seems to be more results, including this one. It's dated 1949, and says "La jeune femme resta treize Simone Sylvestre : Une déesse emoureuse Simone Sylvestre (25 ans', qui est l’une de nos plus jolies starlettes, prépare une ren trée en force cet hiver(...)Simone Sylvestre en avait assez de ces sombres drames"

So she was 25 in September 1949, meaning that she was born 1923/1924.

This record is more likely to be her. The first name, DOB and place of birth all match, BUT in order to prove it, you'd have to find a source that confirms her middle names or that her married surname was Berger. There just isn't much out there on this subject at all.

I observed in the history of her article and someone had edited that the British actress Elizabeth Morgan (Wiki) had died on August 5, 2019, but later it was reverted as unsourced. Her last credit was in 1996, but she appeared again in a documentary in 2017, may have died after 2 years??? 

 

DOB February 7, 1930, married twice with Derrek Chittock (54-his death 86) and actor Jeremy Child since 1987

Could it be another name that might have died off the radar or not ?

I doubt this one is true.

The Peerage states that her real name was the same as her stage name i.e. Elizabeth Morgan/Child.

No death record in the GRO Index for 2017–2020. Plus as a voice actress in a popular Gerry Anderson production, with lots of credits to her name, somebody would have surely reported it by now. Also, she's married into aristocracy. I've just searched through all the relevant forums/groups, and again no mention. These people are sharp and they don't tend to miss anything.

You should get your answer soon enough though. Jeremy Child just died. I'm semi confident that he will get an obituary in either The Guardian or the Telegraph at some point. They tend to say if the subject's spouse survives them or predeceased them.

@Gisooo a comment in the edit summary of the page for Elizabeth Morgan says "My friend the actress Liz Morgan is not married to jeremy Childs and does not have a title. I have removed it from the text at her request. JC is married to a different Liz Morgan."

I'm inclined to believe this editor as there's no mention online of Jeremy Child being mentioned to the actress Elizabeth Morgan. "Elizabeth" and "Morgan" are both common names in the UK.

EDIT: In that case, it could be possible she has died off radar.

I expected this, Morgan was more older than Child, anyway after this his obituary doesn't help us. Hope she is still living

I'm afraid she is 99% dead. There is no info or photo of her recently on Google plus I searched on FB and IG but again nothing

She was a Swedish descent and lived in Mexico for years

My suspicion started after seeing previous editions of her page in Spanish Wikipedia

 

Someone had edited that she had died on June 10, 2014 in Barcelona

Even though it is not a reliable source, she also has a profile on Find A Grave with the same death details as the edit

Just to clear one thing up, Jeremy Child's Guardian obit mentions that his wife died in 2019.  Also that she was a publisher.

Thanks, and using that info I've found the corresponding GRO record. That particularly Elizabeth Morgan was born in 1953 so definitely not the actress!

Felix Gadzhievich Dadaev (born 1920 or 1923) Stalin's body double and artist

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-559234/The-man-Stalins-body-double-finally-tells-story.html

https://www.rbth.com/history/333286-what-happened-stalins-double

Dadaev was one of Stalin's four body doubles in the 1940s and early 1950s and this has apparently been confirmed by the KGB.

His story was only revealed to the public in 2008 when he got a permission for talking about it from Putin and the latest picture I could find is from 2014:

image.png.b43188749bb5c6e92c3d200e601f43e2.png

According to the Russian wiki, he's alive and will be 99 next March. Can't find any other confirmation though, but I think that if he had died his death would be mentioned in a lot of places. Appeared in this 2013 document. Around 12:17 onwards

Felix Dadaev, Stalin's body double, now 99, apparently interviewed recently:

https://www.eg.ru/society/2033252-dvoynik-stalina-kogda-vojdyu-naskuchila-lyubovnica-lepeshinskaya-on-pritvorilsya-bolnym/

Tells how he was recruited after Stalin's last body double was killed, talks about how Khrushchev made him speak with the voice of Stalin after Stalin died, claims that Khrushchev was drunk when he gave Crimea to Ukraine, talks about how women loved Stalin and says that Molotov was the wisest person in Stalin's entourage.

2) John Bartha (IMDb) actor – Hungarian-born Italian, appeared in a lot of Spaghetti westerns, a huge list of credits to his name with the last being 1981. Someone on Wiki edited his page a while back to say he died in March 1991 under the name John Bertha, possibly in the States, but who knows?

Marcy McGuire may have died. We still have no proof.

I want to say something even though I may be wrong. I have the impression that Marcy McGuire is alive and that editing was wrong.


In StarTriger last March on the 14th there are 2 scanned autographs. Could it be true?

Scan was added on March 14 but according to the uploader, he received them on 2017.
