If you had bothered to read it before spewing your word vomit his nephew stated that the delay in revealing his death was due to the fact that Hamilton, who lived a modest and private life, was "concerned about what would or would not happen upon his passing." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imhotep 34 Posted March 5 American actress Jill (or Jil) Jarmyn, born Donna Joyce Sellers in 1926. Seems to have died in 2014 according to this: https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LDK2-PS8/donna-joyce-sellers-1926-2014 The birth date corresponds to that given by IMDB, as well as Glamour Girls of the Silver Screen, so I suppose that this must be correct....

Familysearch's records are great, but the trees and profiles are maintained by simpletons and can usually be safely ignored. Case in point, her brother's page says he died in 2000, when he actually died in 2016 (clearly someone lazily confused him with another guy of the same name). She's listed as a survivor in that obituary and was returning fanmail as recently as 2022, so I think we can conclude the unsourced update claiming she died way back when isn't true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gisooo 3,344 Posted March 6 British-born American actress Anne Heywood (Wiki) died in silence last October 2023 at 91. I'm shocked and can't believe she didn't got anything?!?!

Ulitzer95 12,620 Posted March 6 I do wonder if her death made it into the Winter edition of Equity magazine that still hasn't been uploaded onto this page. Of the 1000s of people that visit this forum every year, including those who just lurk and don't post, I find it impossible to believe that there isn't a single one who doesn't have an Equity subscription. If anyone who does is reading this, can you please send me a picture of the In Memoriam section from their latest winter edition via private message? Merci!

The Immortal 634 Posted March 7 I've been checking if the film Tobruk (1967) had any remaining survivors and while I can confirm Ronnie Rondell Jr. is still alive, I can't find any info on Anthony Ashdown, Heidy Hunt or Phil Adams. I'm hoping someone here can do some more research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRO indicates that he was born in 1934, the same year IMDb says he was born, so I think it's quite likely the same guy. Someone on Ancestry who seems to be a decently close relative (their surname is Ashdown) has also made a tree which says he was born in Romford, the same place IMDb claims he was born. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping someone here can do some more research. There are several article results for Heidy Hunt on Newspapers.com. One here from May 1966 saying that she is Canadian and was making her debut. Given that her debut was this late, and looking at photos of her from the 1960s, I'm inclined to say she was born around the mid-1940s, meaning that in all likeliness she is probably still alive if we go off of life expectancy alone.
