Hate picking the quiet elderly. Hate it more when they hit for others, though. RIP Mr. Poitier, one less place setting at the dinner table. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks all the nominees (people that got nominated, but didn't make the final list) on the male side are all also dead. The women's side for nominees still has Claire Bloom (90), Ann Blyth (93), Mitzi Gaynor (90), Marsha Hunt (104), Angela Lansbury (96), Piper Laurie (89), Gina Lollobrigia (94), Rita Moreno (90), Margaret O'brien (84) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted January 7, 2022 Just a thought - all of the actors who played teachers in "To Sir with Love" lasted long. Poitier has died at 94. Geoffrey Bayldon made 93. Edward Burnham reached 98 and Faith Brook 90. Patricia Routledge is currently 92 and Ann Bell (83) and Suzy Kendall (85) are also still with us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
