Bill Frankland is a genius, quite frankly. Not a household name, perhaps, but he ought to be.

 

Aye, all the more reason he should do a porno (and gift us additional HPDP points)

Ami Brown's cancer is said to have progressed to stage 4.

Her throat is raw from the radiation, she’s dropped from 128 lbs. to 89.4 lbs., and husband Billy says doctors have given them somber survival statistics (as low as 3 percent) — but Ami, 53, refuses to give up hope.

Them stats and she's still hopeful

 

Has she considered a season ticket at Fort William FC

Ennio Morricone is on his farewell tour and is 89 this year. Could be worth a punt.

So, King Philipe of Spain marched though Barcelona in protest at IS terrorism

 

Just sayin'

 

Marginal - but what would my chances be of snagging him as a unique DDP pick next year?

Well, it has certainly decreased since you mentioned him on the forum...

For age alone, I'd recommend this site listing notable people 90 and older (if you want them on your list).

Currently reading David Cassidy's second autobiography (the third one is likely in progress and mainly consists of crayon drawings - but I digress). The gripping read of how a disaffected hippie kid stumbles into the acting job that makes him the world's biggest teen idol and then spends the rest of his life trying to unscramble his head  has thrown up some Googling options for dead pool picks.

 

First off Cassidy's step-mother and TV mother in The Partridge Family - Shirley Jones - is still alive (b. 1934)

 

Secondly 72 year old Jim Gordon; go to rock drummer for the likes of Derek and the Dominos is still alive. Convicted and sectioned after the voices in his head drove him to kill his mother Gordon still appears confused about which planet he's on. Though he may currently be in better physcial health than his old mate Eric Clapton. Either way, he has a pedigree that guarantees a q/o as and when.

Connie Sawyer is turning 105 in November and still acting.

Her most recent role, however, was as Mrs. Sullivan in Ray Donovan in 2014.

She's a good punt for age alone and I have her pretty high on my "long"list. I remember her most recently for appearing in an episode of 'The Office' (The American version) in about 2009, where she played Michael's grandmother. I also remember her appearing in Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey in the 90s.

Here's some ideas for some new names on DeathList 2018.

(If there is someone who was on an earlier list, tell me.)

 

John McCain:

Reason for Notability: US Senator and Presidential Candidate (2008).

Age in 2018: 82

Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with a brain tumor in July 2017. If he dies at the average survival time, he will die in November 2018.

 

Stephen Hillenburg:

Reason for Notability: Created the longtime-running cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants.

Age in 2018: 57

Why they should be on the list: Diagnosed with ALS in March 2017. Most people who have it don't survive for much longer.

 

Jerry Maren:

Reason for Notability: Actor and the last known surviving Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz.

Age in 2018: 98

Why they should be on the list: Age alone should do it. Also, just look at his picture on Wikipedia.

 

Chuck Yeager:

Reason for Notabiity: First person to exceed the speed of sound.

Age in 2018: 95

Why they should be on the list: Age. Also, possibly those G-forces.

 

Walter Mondale:

Reason for Notability: U.S. Vice President under Jimmy Carter.

Age in 2018: 90

Why they should be on the list: Age, not to mention that Carter was also on the list more than once.

 

Johan van Hulst:

Reason for Notability: Dutch politician and humanitarian.

Age in 2018: 107

Why they should be on the list: Age. Definitely age.

 

Marge Champion:

Reason for Notability: Disney's model for Snow White and The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio.

Age in 2018: 99 (This was posted on her 98th birthday.)

Why they should be on the list: Age. Most of my choices are for age alone.

 

Kim Jong-un:

Reason for Notability: "Glorius" leader of North Korea since 2011.

Age in 2018: 36 (according to North Korea), 35 (according to South Korea), 34 (according to the USA and Switzerland)

Why they should be put on the list: If the USA and North Korea go to war, that will most likely kill him. If not, diabetes will, because he hogs all of North Korea's food.

 

Jim Leavelle:

Reason for Notability: Pearl Harbor survivor and Lee Harvey Oswald's escort.

Age in 2018: 98

Why they should be put on the list: Age, not to mention he saw his fellow troops killed by the Japanese and a man get shot (PTSD).

 

Juan Carlos I of Spain:

Reason for Notability: King of Spain from 1975 to 2014.

Age in 2018: 80

Why they should be put on the list: Resigned because of "personal reasons". Not sure if that has to do with his health.

 

Wilford Brimley:

Reason for Notability: Actor (The Thing) and spokesman for Liberty Medical.

Age in 2018: 84

Why they should be put on the list: DIABEETUS.

 

Mel Brooks:

Reason for Notability: Director of Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein.

Age in 2018: 92

Why they should be put on the list: Age, yet again.

 

Last but not least, Sidney Poitier:

Reason for Notability: Actor and director.

Age in 2018: 91

Why they should be put on the list: Age. There was also probably something wrong with him when he directed Ghost Dad.

Thank you for bringing these very unknown names to our attention. I'm sure we'll find some use with these names next year...

Now kill yourself, go on, kill yourself.

[Life Is Beautiful 716]

Dilip Kumar and Yoko Ono are musts for next year (if they survive)

[charon 4,943]

Been watching the reasonably well done Manhunt : Unabomber, and although I remember it from the mid 90s, I just didn't realise old Ted was quite so old at the time.

 

75 now I think, maybe not for next year , but defo long list checkable type dood.

Nope, he is indeed the last surviving munchkin from the Wizard of Oz.

Priscilla Montgomery (born in 1929), Joan Kenmore (born in 1931), Ardith Dondanville (born in 1930), Betty Ann Bruno (born in 1930) and Dorothy Barrett (born in 1917) are still alive.

They were either child actors or were in other minor roles. Some of them are indeed still alive. Jerry Maren is still the last surviving munchkin from the Wizard of Oz though.

[Death Impends 7,957]

I think the child actors were Munchkins too? But Maren is the last surviving adult with dwarfism to play a Munchkin.

Yeah. I think next time people should be more clear next time when they talk about Maren being the last surviving munchkin. Though I did check a few of the actors above and at least one of the names I checked weren't even a munchkin at all...
