*Roberto Mauri (wiki, b. 1924?) Italian actor, director and screenwriter. Some unreliable sources suggest he died in 2007, others say 2017.

 

Got a private message

No 2007, no 2017, he died in 2018 according to him but I don't have a concrete source for a moment!

 

Also I learned from him that actors Andrea Scotti (Wiki) and Irene Cefaro (Wiki) are dead too!

 

Edit: Link for Cefaro and Scotti

The Japanese Wiki page for Jiro Tanaka has been updated to include a death date. Supposedly died on 28th September 2017 (aged 100).

Unsourced but probably true.


Japanese article from November 2017 that refers Jiro Tanaka as the "recently deceased". 

So yes, he died indeed die 6 years ago.

Now, can anyone solve the other one? WWII flying ace Makoto Ogawa (wiki, b. 1917). He was also born in 1917. Definitely living circa 2001.

Does anyone know whether the author and screenwriter James Gordon White is still alive? He was active in the field of exploitation films with titles like The Glory Stompers, The Mini-Skirt Mob and The Devil's 8 between 1967 and 2004. His final publication may have been the western novel Barbary Coast Gundown in 2006.  I cannot find any dates/place of either birth or death.

Most likely. This is his wife, and based on public records, he was born on February 2, 1940, so he'd only be 83 now. (I looked him up when he was mentioned on here previously a few months ago. And hey, searching suggests that was also you, so here you go.)

Gilbert Harrison, a theatre manager who also had bit part roles in a couple of Brian Rix movies, died aged 72 in 2002. However, the reason people on the internet have trying to discover him for years is because he was the model on the cover Championship Manager 93.

I always wondered who that was! Loved that game. Still play CM 01/02 occasionally...

Not 100% off the radar but I only just found out that Peter Corey died in 2019. His "Coping With..." series of books was absolutely massive among children around the turn of the 90s, always a popular choice when the book fair rolled into school. There were even several BAFTA-winning TV series based around them. But his death was apparently only reported by local press in Thanet, and even then they focussed more on the fact he ran the local pub quiz. Bizarre.

David Lauwers, the arsonist who killed 11 people in the 1995 Clerkenwell cinema fire, died in 2001. This is listed without citation on the event's Wikipedia page, but a 2015 government publication detailing deaths in police custody shows he died on February 26, 2001, aged 41 and of "natural causes".

I have never heard of this incident before. I am surprised I haven’t.

1940's Hollywood child actor Charles Bates has died in May 2022 at the age of 87, according to his Wikipedia page (which uses a memorial site as the source).

 

He was best-known for appearing in Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, 1943 (which leaves Edna May Wonacott the last surviving cast member of one of my favorite Hitchcock films).

This guy is probably still alive, actually. It seems that whoever added January 1935 as his DOB to IMDb probably just picked a similar-seeming "Bates" who was about the right age from the California birth index, and the editor who wrote his Wiki page copied it, but the problem is that "Charles Bates" was a stage name (which his article notes already). Here is the right birth record:

Name Charles Edward Perry
Sex male
Birthdate 10/22/1934
Birthplace Los Angeles County, California
Mother's Maiden Name Bates

 

Based on public records, he lives in the Spokane area in Washington. So while the guy IMDb was claiming to the actor is indeed dead, the actual man himself isn't.

Every time I see this thread bumped, I keep expecting it to be Eileen Derbyshire for some reason. Ha!

She would be in the soap thread. 
 

And it would be weird if she died of Radar and the Daily Mail then pretended they didn’t know the mother of one of their senior journalists had died without them knowing about. I could see him and the rest of his family keeping it quiet till after the funeral but after that the news will get out.

He’s not as dead as those links you provided.

Edit:  interestingly it took MY post to bring them to life.  Sir Creep has that kind of power.
