Yep, the other three are Colette Adams, Arethra Franklin, and Norman Spinrad. Franklin and O'Connor may not be bad pucks for next year, as Franklin is cancelling more concerts (and given recent trends, we know what that leads into) and now this update from Brian O'Connor.

Pete Frates didn't come up as it's own individual article, just a Wikipedia page on the Ice Bucket challenge so I didn't include him. As for Steve Smith I must've skipped over him. Whoops.

Character actor Bradford Dillman in failing health, possibly from Parkinsons, according to the celeb fanmail community. One of those "been in  enough stuff" (Pickman's Model, for example) types who'd get a cert Guardian obit... if they were British.

Surely he's nailed on UK obit material too.

 

I mean he was in Piranha (1978) a total classic, right?

I think Peter Ustinov has Alzheimer's? Or maybe I've got the wrong name. Maybe it's Alsatians instead.

So, given the discussion of Nancy - first wife, not daughter - of Frank Sinatra still being with us there are LOADS of obitable widows still hanging around

 

Doreen Wise and Joan Bartholemew (Mrs Morecambe and Wise)

Clarissa Eden and Mary Wilson - widows of long dead prime ministers

 

One or two of them probs worth considering

[Sean 6,313]
