Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted April 6, 2020 7 hours ago, An Fear Beag said: No it isn’t. Old people die of pneumonia all the time. The mortality rate for old people with pneumonia is about 20% and it is considered the 3rd or 4th most common cause of death in the old. In the US alone, approximately 50,000 a year die of pneumonia, most of them elderly. it is perfectly reasonable to accept that an 86 year old woman died of pneumonia that was not Covid-19 related. No doubt some cases of Covid-19 will not be diagnosed, and will be put down to “ordinary” pneumonia. But there will also be a lot of people dying due to pneumonia that has nothing to do with Coronavirus, so speculating that a pneumonia death must really have been Covid-19, when the family says otherwise, does not make any sense. And then there's this, saying that current testing for Covid19 only has a 70% accuracy for negative tests. Which would mean that 30% of the people that are told they don't have Covid19, actually do. That's so high that it seriously undermines the value of the test at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says that the tests in China gave 70% positive results, whereas 90% of the people SHOWED SYMPTOMS of Coronavirus. However with further testing, you cannot be certain that they actually had it. They could also have had another severe respiratory infection whose symptoms were similar to Coronavirus. I do agree though that testing with that level of accuracy is next to useless and is not much better than an educated guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beside that, she had been suffering from a degenerative illness since at least 2009. Not so surprising she's gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted January 15, 2021 We need a tier list of these GAOH survivors based on fame. Cuz people like Dame Betty Brewer are clearly not in the same stratosphere as someone like Angela Lansbury. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_living_actors_from_the_Golden_Age_of_Hollywood 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImNotHades 207 Posted January 23, 2021 I stopped editing after 1939 because it's just too many names and the list would be too long. Let's just keep the ones on top and I'll add some kid debuts later (Margaret O'Brien). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if there is a topic like this already (if there is i'll delete this one). If there's someone I forgot I'll add them later. Be free to correct me. Here's the full list of people (created on 03 February 2016): - The list won't go beyond 1939. It is just too many people and most will outlive us so there's no point in going beyond 39' unless half the list dies by 2025 and people born after 1940 mostly don't count as GAoH actors. Be free to name those who do. Arlene Dahl - 1925 Dahl is 96 today. Recent news include that she is selling her Rockland home for 4.95 million. Quite an interesting personality, currently married to Marc Rosen who is atleast 19 years younger than she is and is her sixth husband. Lorenzo Lamas, her son has already been married five times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldhollywood 85 Posted May 18, 2023 Mamie Van Doren’s is my favourite account on Twitter, it’s crazy how engaged with the modern world she is for a woman who’s contemporaries were Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield! I wish she got more recognition. I don’t think she’s going anywhere anytime soon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

La Tombe 353 Posted June 25 I find that many Hollywood actors born in 1930, are close to die : Gene Hackman (very frail), Joanne Woodward (unseen for many years, and health problem), Gena Rowlands. Also, Clint Eastwood is not in great shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the expertise needed to go over the maths regarding this but this list of names clearly shows that Hollywood actors have a significantly higher life expectancy than the general population. https://m.imdb.com/list/ls023573954/?view=grid There's a large glut of them that are sick now because statistically speaking they are overdue.

Steve 596 Posted June 25 Only 6 on the list on page 1 have deceased as far as I can see (Janis Paige, Glynis Johns, Roger Corman, Piper Laurie, Alan Arkin and more recently Donald Sutherland).
