msc 18,421 Posted October 10, 2016 A daft idea which came to me - there are 8 people on this years Deathlist who have made eight appearances or more. Bedblockers if you will. (Though that's a bit mean, I like de Havilland, after all...) So a simple poll - of our immortals, which one will be the last one standing, the one to outlive all the other seven? Fats Domino and Castro have youth on their side, but I wouldn't put it past Jake Lamotta to find a way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted October 10, 2016 The contenders Name (number of years on Deathlist) - date of birth (according to Google) Kirk Douglas (14) 9th December 1916 Fidel Castrol (13) – 13th August 1926 Jake Lamotta (12) -10th July 1921 Zsa Zsa Gabor (10) – 6th February 1917 Rev Billy Graham (10) – 7th November 1918 Olivia de Havilland (9) -1st July 1916 Vera Lynn (8) – 20th March 1917 Fats Domino (8) - 26th February 1928 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 10, 2016 Went for Haviland. She can easily be the next Zhou Yougang.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 10, 2016 Also need to note the last year people with 8 or more years who died was 2014... And 3 of those people passed that year, Mickey Rooney, Eli Wallach, and Chapman Pincher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect Passing 277 Posted October 16, 2016 Gone for Mr Douglas...the senior...his 14 year Death List residency has got to expire soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted October 16, 2016 Gone for Mr Douglas...the senior...his 14 year Death List residency has got to expire soon. You think he hasn't got long to live and the other seven will go before him? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 16, 2016 Gone for Mr Douglas...the senior...his 14 year Death List residency has got to expire soon. If he makes it to 2017, he'll only be the second person ever to get to 15 years on deathlist, with only Clive Dunn getting to 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
