Geoffrey Davies (wiki), British character actor supposedly died in July 2023, aged 80.

The type of name that may turn up in the next Equity magazine. Still, if anyone can find anything on social media or Google please let me know.

Nooooooooo! 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.

Went straight to George Layton's twitter account, where I thought there'd be such news. Nothing mentioned. (Though some recent pics of David Graham - surely not much longer there?).

Also looking for 1st runner-up of 1956 Miss Universe Marina Orschel (Wiki)

 

Someone made an edit in her German wiki, she was married to Horst Wickinghoff and died in Essen, Germany on Oct 21, 2019. I believe it is true!

Why did you post it in Deadpool Detective Work?

Also, @YoungWillz already reported this the other day in the Carry On thread.

Terrence Hardiman died earlier this year and Wikipedia has his death date as May 8th 2023 using his Telegraph obituary as a source, however his Guardian obituary has his death date as April 18th 2023. 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.

@Octopus of Odstock, had a bit of spare time tonight so did the names on your Jimmy Stewart list who are over 85. Only found one death – Jacques Roux, in 2006. The five four in gold I can't be sure if they're alive or not – though I'm sure msc will know about Evans. All the rest are still with us!

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.

 

[msc 17,762]

A DDP pick. Would be surprised if someone with so many geek fans had died totally off radar.

I told you, I cant find her because of husband surname, there is no record for a Elizabeth Hoffman born Feb 1927 living in Malibu

 

The only close is a Betty Hoffman living in Malibu but she was born April 1926 and I dont think its her

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)_/¯

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.

According to findagrave.com, the actress Melinda Markey Bena (b. 27 Feb 1934 in Los Angeles) is deceased. As Melinda Markey, she acted on the screen from 1952 to 61. Just wondering whether anyone has come across a death date for her?

I reckon it's b/s. She was interviewed and photographed in 2019, at which point she wasn't just in great health but was actively still horse riding.
