I’ve just discovered that Renee Simonot used to dub Olivia. Now Renee is the oldest living actress in the world, followed by Olivia. Funny coïncidence. 

OLIVIA IS NOT THE 2ND OLDEST ACTRESS IN THE WORLD THE 2ND OLDEST IS MARY WARD BREHENY

She might well life to see her most famous film be banned n campaign running to remove it from HBO Max. It seems very ott to ban it from a streaming platform where offering resources  putting It in context would be easy to provide.

Hard to believe she played the part of the OAP inmate Mum Brookes in Prisoner Cell Block H way back in 1979 ! I loved that show.Watched it twice from beginning to end, all 692 episodes !

It's interesting to compare how actors who played older people seemed then compared to how they actually aged, e.g. Max von Sydow being aged up as the Old Priest in the Exorcist from 44 to 74, compared to his on screen appearances as e.g. Director Lamar Burgess in Minority Report aged 73 in 2002, or as the Three Eyed Raven in GoT when he was a bit older still.

It's set in 1861.What do these woke retards expect ? An ensemble of non binary black blind lesbians in wheelchairs singing about the abolition of the police?

I'll point again to the fact that suppressing Gone With The Wind also suppresses the first Oscar-winning performance by a black actress.  :facepalm:

But of course this was far too long ago to fit the popular agenda that black actors don't receive due recognition, so it's largely ignored anyway.

My Nan loved Gone With The Wind I suggested the theme song for the service but was outvoted for The Sound of Music theme tune.Funeral directors ended up playing Climb every mountain and changing halfway through when they realised they screwed up.

Another example is Ian McKellen in "The Keep".

If we're being that technical then we would have to count the time she was born. The chances are she wasn't born in the early hours of the morning.

This makes her the first 104 year old on the Death List since Luise Rainer, which is funny cause Carl Reiner coincidentally died just now.

I believe she joins an elite group of deathlist names who have reached 104 along with Rose Kennedy Luise Rainer Oscar Niemeyer and Brooke Astor.Let me know if I've missed anyone out! Kirk Douglas and Vera Lynn sadly just missed out!

Incidentally Brooke Astor is the only one who reached her 105th birthday.Will Olivia be the 2nd .If she makes it to mid november next year she would be the oldest deathlist name ever.Unless someone older is included on next years list of course !
