Max von Sydow isn’t deathlisty enough for you? Or for @msc? I really hope you mean not old/ill enough and not an issue of not famous enough.

Pretty sure msc was referring to Sydow when he said Ming the Merciless was deathlisty

Cough, Max WAS Ming.

 

"Gordon's Alive?" as all the DL geeks will no doubt attest.

 

Also The Exorcist, Seventh Seal, and some recent TV show.... Throne of Games or something like that

Apologies to @msc I was certainly more scandalized by @The Old Crem’s statement and failed to read yours thoroughly.

Madge has got a gammy knee - she's hardly at death's door, nor does she seem to be hitting the fentanyl.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

For final reminders, Alex Trebek and Willie Nelson should definitely debut. Also Terry Jones. And Little Richard and Gorbachev better stay on...

And Loretta Lynn and Honor Blackman  need to stay!

A return for Pope Benedict and Jill Gascoigne would be wise.
