Class Of 1916

[Sean 6,365]

Inspired by ImNotHades poll thought I would start one of my own.1916 came to mind as I was just thinking how one of my Grandads would have been 100 in March if he was still alive.Which of his co horts will be the last to go?Some interesting names here I only got from researching for this poll.

[The Mad Hatter 1,093]

I voted Harry huskey.

[drol 12,137]

Could we open a Class of 1906 poll? There will be only Zhou Youguang and Zoltan Sarosy in a first blood battle.

[Joey Russ 7,263]

Kirk Douglas. He's a beast.

João Havelange is dead: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37097423

[CoffinLodger 1,248]

It's amazing how many really famous people are turning 100 these days. Must be unprecedented surely !

[Joey Russ 7,263]

For all of those people voting for Joao Havelange, it's the last one to die, not the first

[Spade_Cooley 9,630]

Is Shaun of the dead going to update this

[Predictor 1,018]

I voted Harry huskey.

I can imagine Morbidkid researching the poll options before voting, typing in "harry husky" in the Google search box and thinking to himself: "that husky guy looks really great for a centnarian, maby a bit furry but still..."

[theoldlady 2,343]

Voted for Olivia de Havilland. She rocks and I hope she lives to be 110 and become a Supercenterian.

[YoungWillz 21,208]

Hmm I see TK Whitaker was on this list (with zero votes).

[Chopped Liver 53]

Hmm I see TK Whitaker was on this list (with zero votes).

A decent man, nonetheless. Disappointed to hear of his passing.

[Predictor 1,018]

Sven Asmussen's death means one less rival for Olivia. Only 15 to go!

[Ulitzer95 12,845]

Jean Rouverol dead according to Wiki.

This is all I can find about it, not sure how reliable it is though.

Hollywood Reporter is good enough for me: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jean-rouverol-dead-blacklisted-screenwriter-was-100-988772
