I'm not surprised she's getting gaunt with that prick of a son of hers... Oh aye, the one who lost an eye trying to stop a bar fight - remind me who he votes for these days; I lost track a while ago Do be sure to play his Falklands War-themed board game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 19, 2016 Stefan Karl Stefanson seems to have recovered from his surgery pretty well. Never trust anyone with pancreatic cancer. Steve LaTourette and Vera Caslavska come to mind.So do Wilko Johnson and Ryan Buell. Or are we only picking names that fit our assertion and ignoring the rest? You should be a politician.

IsoltSayre 3 Posted December 19, 2016 69 pages is a lot to go through so I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned this. John Williams, composer, will turn 85 on February 8. There have been a few articles about his health (nothing concrete) but those problems forced him to pull out of writing the scores for Bridge of Spies and the new Star Wars Rogue One. In the case of Bridge of Spies, it was the first Spielberg since 1985 not to feature a score by Williams. However, he did appear at Tanglewood earlier this year (which for the non-musical among you is summer training program for aspiring young musicians) and confirmed he'll be doing the next Star Wars. So, it could be that it was a minor health issue associated with reaching a certain age and that he will have the same longevity as Elliott Carter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Only one of those two actually had pancreatic cancer, mind. Although, iirc, the thing about Wilko is it turned out he had some super rare slow acting cancer around the pancreas, rather than actual pancreatic cancer. Dumb luck and a matter of millimeters can mean life or death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,341 Posted December 19, 2016 Given that Zsa Zsa Gabor has been such a mainstay of this forum for so long, indeed is a forum legend who will leave a gap that many are pondering how it could be filled or rather by whom -here is a list of famous women who may go someway towards being the answer to that question. Although of course no woman can replace Zsa Zsa she was utterly unique there are some women worthy of consideration as deathlist looks to the future and a new era. Liza Minnelli Imelda Marcos Joan Collins Maggie Smith Barbara Bush Barbara Walters Barbara Windsor Julie Goodyear Angie Dickinson Shirley Bassey Queen Sonja of Norway Ethel Kennedy Jean Kennedy (last of the Kennedy Dynasty siblings) Clarissa Eden The Duchess of Kent Danielle Darrieux Bridget Bardot Sophia Loren Marge Champion Rhonda Fleming Peggy Cummins Jane Withers Ann Blyth Jane Powell Arlene Dahl Raquel Welch Carol Channing Carol Burnett Some are included because of the state of their health rumoured or otherwise, some virtue of their age and some because it would be a damned shame if they weren't on the list when they died and would be a real miss for the Deathlist /pools. All of them I think especially Joan Collins and Liza are capable of generating much enjoyable discussion, interest, speculation and entertainment and helping to fill the impending Zsa Zsa void as well as creating a new infusion of worthy names as we inevitably start to lose a fair few of the long timers on the list /s. Just some food for thought! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
