Who Should Be On The 2016 Deathlist?

Recommended Posts

David Hasselhoff. He's appearing in panto with The Krankies. And Michelle McManus. Nothing good ever came of that.

 

On a more serious note, I'll put forward Douglas Hurd. No surprise there I know, but if he makes it to the starting gate, he won't cross the line to 2017 imo.

Stanley Donen, director of Singing in the Rain and many other classics is definitely worth consideration. He turns 90 next year and his passing would almost certainly be acknowledged on the evening news here. Also Clarissa Eden, widow of former PM Anthony Eden, will be 96 next year.

We need more people with cancer and less people that are just frail and 90.

Just as an exercise I have completed a Like for Like replacement for this year's hits.

 

Sam Simon - Earl Hamner

Denis Healey - Greville Janner

Chris Woodhead - William McPherson

Patrick McNee - Tom Baker

Al Molinaro - Mary Tyler Moore

Maureen O' Hara - Carol Channing

B B King - Kay Starr

Peter O' Sullevan - Murray Walker

George Cole - Peter Vaughan

Leonard Nimoy - Walter Koenig

John Nash - I M Pei

Kirk Kerkorian - Lilliane Bettancourt

Christopher Lee - Roger Moore

 

Advisory note: Better choices may be available from other posters.

 

Good spotting for I.M. Pei! An obviously notable person born in 1917 should definitely be on next year's list, without doubt.

 

It was bad enough not having Sir Nicholas Winton on this year's list - what a stupid miss that was

I was thinking earlier.How does everyone feel about foreign royalty?I would say there are four we should consider for next year:

King Michael I of Romania (b 1921)

Queen Anne of Romania(b 1923)

Takahito,Prince Mikasa of Japan (b1915)

Yuriko ,Princess Mikasa of Japan (b 1923)

 

 

 

I accept that the last 3 may not be well known enough for the Deathlist ,however I can`t forsee any of them not getting an obituary in the UK.

 

I already suggested Michael of Romania in the ideas and possibilities thread but I was told he was too obscure a figure...

There are many worthy names on that list, and it's a good list, but maybe there are too many American people on it and not enough from elsewhere
