Ideas and Possibilities for 2021

[DCI Frank Burnside 3,887]

If survives to next year former US Secretary Of State George Schultz. Due to turn 100 in December 

[TomTomTelekom 3,727]

After almost all centenarians on the official DL have died in the last months (Kirk, Javier Perez, Vera Lynn), we may need 2-3 new ones as a substitution for next years DL?! what about Capt. Tom Moore, Boris Pahor or Norman Lloyd, household names that are all obitable for sure if they survive this year end...

Centenarians are obvious lazy selections, why seek them out deliberately?

I thought we wait for Betty White?

 

Prince Philip will be 100 as well.

I suggest Jackie Stallone, who turns 100 next year and is a long overdue name imo.

You're very confident with all those "will"s.

Don't think Pahor is famous enough.Norman Lloyd is and so I would argue is Tom Moore.

 

James Lovelock Marge Champion Beverly Cleary and June Spencer are the only other centenarians notable enough to realistically appear.

Pahor I'd have agreed with but the fact he got a BBC1 documentary in his honour last Christmas suggests he's clearly more famous than I'd thought.

 

Vic Seixas is my latest attempt to get my first unique hit for Pan Breed so we all know the score - he'll die next April when I've dropped him for someone else.

[gcreptile 10,964]

If they really want to go for age.. maybe John Cruickshank?

Benjamin Ferencz also a possibility. Pierre Soulages probably too niche?

James Lovelock is possible, maaaybe Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

 

or why not.... Steven Spielberg's father.. you know it's possible.

101 year old Olivia Jordan came to prominence today because she gave General de Gaulle loads of rides!!

I was about to add her to this only because she is trending on Twitter for BBUK related reasons.

Didn't fix my spelling mistake though

[Lafaucheuse 4,045]

Really think both Betty White and Pierre Cardin will make it to 100, both active and healthy. Phil will probably make it too.

if ever they should add some centenarians, may I suggest Pierre Soulages, who is probably the most famous centenarian here in France. Henri Vernes, René de Obaldia, Iris Apfel, earl Cameron or Edgar Morin seems good picks too, don’t they ? 
and What about the old McCain ? I consider her most famous than Gates Sr. but...

[gcreptile 10,964]

If you are annoyed that you didnt pick Pablo Escobar's chief henchman Jhon Velasquez, why not his right hand Carlos Lehder Rivas (70):

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8427781/Hitler-loving-Medellin-cartel-founder-Carlos-Lehder-Rivas-goes-free-Germany.html

 

The Hitler-loving druglord is being extradited to Germany on what is supposed to be "his last trip" because of illness.

That’ll be a bad Kiick for those considering him.

Dagnabbit

Was hoping he would last long enough to be picked in the Poker Deadpool

[msc 18,438]

Watching a Channel 5 thing last night about 1978, think it a repeat from that series that Dirty Den and Jim Bowen appeared on just before dying in 2018. Anyhow, Eric Chappell (Rising Damp writer) and Ted Childs (The Sweeney/Inspector Morse producer) both showed up and are still alive.

 

I think I knew about Chappell as hes on Willz's teams here or there abouts, but Childs was a new one to me, so sharing it.
