Ideas and Possibilities for 2020

There's a movie called "The Farewell" getting Oscar buzz, it's about a chinese grandma with terminal cancer, but she doesn't know it because her relatives are keeping the truth away from her.

Anyway, it's based on a real story, and the cancer-stricken grandma is still alive, six years after the diagnosis:

I assume the family haven't taken her to see the movie!

How about Margaret Keane?

Keane has been in hospice care since 2017!

Maybe Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 86, Supreme Court Judge in the US. Every Democrat wants her to survive until Trump's term ends and every Republican wants her to die so Trump can make the court majority Conservative.

She's had multiple tumors and other serious health problems, including a current one and she looks pretty frail in the video. Dunno, could be worth a shot...

How about for old times sake Prinz Frederic Van Anholt will be pushing 80 and seems to be getting into more and more scrapes, only last week he had a brick thrown into his car whilst he was in it after going to gym at 4am in the morning had loads of items stolen including his 3 mobiles which included his phone which had all the numbers of his 60 female lovers, he is moaning he won’t be able to have sex now and his women need to contact him so he won’t go without, though with him he talks so much shit.
 

Also this year he has apparently been attacked and stabbed when out running and had some sort of accident and broken his leg needing surgery. He certainly lives a charmed life will 2020 be the year his luck finally runs out?

Iris Apfel will be 99 next year. She can’t go on forever, although her husband died at 100.

Sandra Day O'Connor - Notable Supreme Court Justice who turns 90 next year and has early stages of Alzheimer's-like Dementia.

Robert Duvall - Famous actor that turns 89 next year.

Dabney Coleman - Well known recognizable actor that turns 88 next year.

I was watching that movie "The Queen" last week and was reminded that "Queen Mum" aka Sylvia Syms OBE is still alive. She was mentioned here many years ago and spoke last year of a couple of health problems. Her public appearances since then have notably declined:

She looks pretty good for someone who was given three months to live, nine years ago.

Bit of a skimpy write-up.

Obviously Alex Trebek should he survive the end of this year. Eva Marie Saint should also be up for consideration as she's 95 now

If we’re going to pick people purely because of their advanced age, picking one of the most sprightly 95 year olds is a bad idea.

“Retirement” clearly bored him as he’s back doing live entertainment. Another one to hold off on for a few years.

Scot actress Ida Schuster, 101 today.

Wiki notes they really need a citation for the claim she "lives in Glasgow" - really skimpy article, it's possible she's already dead, surely

Jon Pertwee's first wife is also still alive. She is the actress Jean Marsh & the co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs. She made her return to the series when it was brought back over 30 years later but due to the success of Downton Abbey it disappeared without trace! Her co-creator Dame Eileen Atkins must also be a similar age.

 

Both 85, Marsh had a stroke in 2011, Atkins overcame breast cancer in 1995

 

Obitable for sure but nowt on their current state of health

National Gallery thinks she's alive and a quick check doesn't bring up any death certificates for a likely Schuster in Scotland to December 2018.

 

She may of course be long gone (I've never heard of her!) but absence of proof so far.

Marsh was apparently rehearsing, felt faint and woke up in hospital. Tried to leave only to be told it was Intensive Care! Thankfully she made a swift recovery, but yes, she was been a lot quieter in general since.

 

Atkins is still acting - was in Doc Martin earlier this year - and looked in fine fettle in that thing with Dames Smith, Dench and Plowright last Christmas.

 

Obvious statement here, but I think all the Great British Acting Dames from that period of time (those 5 plus Sian Philips and Diana Rigg) will all make fine DL regulars one day.
