Oh crap. Another one gone. I hope we  don't break a record. I hope we don't have a bunch dying at the end of the year, like we did last year. Given the ages of the people on the list, I think we will break a record, but I pray to G-d that we don't.By the way, I never heard of Jake Lamotta, until reading him on DeathList. A lot of people I never heard of, until this website.

I don't know how you are going to feel about this but over 150,000 people died today and you are getting upset over someone you had never heard of!

Death is the only thing that conquers all

Can't imagine the day Dennis Rodman dies.

Maybe they'll put a statue of him next to the two Il's.

RIP Raging Bull.

In true boxing fashion, he fought a good fight for 12 rounds/years.

Funny enough, last month I told myself: "I will watch Raging Bull while Jake is still alive." and what an experience that was.

So, anyone wish to see what watching Raging Bull is like after Jake died?

 

Or hell, let's wait for Robert DeNiro to die and we'll see then.

That was funny, you should be a comedian.

The experience was Raging Bull itself, not watching it before or after somebody has died.

Ah, I misread/misunderstood that, sorry about that.

RIP,  I loved Rocky as a kid,  Stallone did him a great service.

Him and Schleming lived for a combined 197 years, nearly - incredible for boxers, really. RIP to one of the Deathlist legends

Both of them appeared on the 2005 list, which was LaMotta's first appearance and Schmeling's last.

I see DL front page is renewing but still lacks an obit for Lamotta. As a DL bedblocker he deserves  a good DL obit, which I hope to see written within a week, if there are not particular technical problems.

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,347]

I need to make a point of watching Raging Bull. 

[Joey Russ 7,232]

Is LaMotta currently the deathlist candidate with the most consecutive appearances? Just a thought that came into my head...

[Sean 6,337]

Didnt Clive Dunn have a similar number?

Nah, the most consecutive appearances Dunn had before he died was 7. Queen Mother had the same amount of consecutive appearances as LaMotta with further research though...

[msc 18,488]

 

1. 16 – Clive Dunn
2. 14 – Kirk Douglas, Ronald Reagan, Queen Mother
3. 13 – Fidel Castro, Ronnie Biggs, Bob Hope,
4. 12 – Jake Lamotta, Eli Wallach, Pope John Paul II

 

List of most appearances last August - Lamotta's were consequetive, so...

 

Castro missed 2011. Ronnie missed 2001. 1994 was Hopeless. Kirk is on 12 in a row. Reagan missed 1994. Dunn missed 2005.

 

So there you go - no one has topped it.

Obituary is finally up. Shouldn't it be the Martin Scorsese film Raging Bull with Robert De Niro, not the Robert De Niro film Raging Bull with Robert De Nero?

Did they mention your fight with LaMotta?

Nope. Must've been a very rushed obituary.

Why not the pun 'Raging Skull'?

There's a report here of Joey LaMotta's death:

But who knows?

 

Might fuck up the Committee picking him though...

In fairness, Joe Pesci got an Oscar nomination for playing Joey, which confers upon him a certain level of celebrity. 

[Spade_Cooley 9,552]

Of course, with the death of Chuck Yeager this year as well, you will of course be asking "but Spade, what is now the oldest nomination for "Best Supporting Actor" at the Oscars for someone playing a real-life, still living person?" It is, of course, Gene Kranz, who was played by Ed Harris in Apollo 13 (1995).

 

The other categories, fwiw:

Best Actor: Frank Serpico (Al Pacino, Serpico 1973)

Best Actress: Loretta Lynn (Sissy Spacey, Coal Miner's Daughter 1980)

Best Supporting Actress: Judy Hoback Miller (Jane Alexander, All The Presidents Men, 1976)

Very odd that all the Boxing reference sites have him listed as having died in 1991!

 

Not the case of course as he was at the funeral of his brother a few years back.
