Gisooo 3,373 Posted August 24 @Imhotep It would be great if you could post it in the Deadpool Detective Thread next time, however, you asked me privately once about some of these names and I replied to you. Once again: Nyra lives in Malibu, CA and Diane lives in West Palm Beach, FL Joyce and Arlen DOB is wrong, according to the records, they were both born in 1925 (still alive at least recently, but who knows, they may have died in the last two or three years) I can't trace the others without any data 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,537 Posted August 28 Madagascan footballer Dominique Rakotonandrasana died in November last year aged 53. Despite his five international caps, he's significantly more notable for being in goal for SO l'Emyrne when they lost 149-0 to AS Adema in a Madagascan league play-off back in 2002. l'Emryne deliberately scored 149 own goals in protest at refereeing standards in the Madagascan league. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you can see from the photo, totally different person. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Find a Grave is not reliable, but it was created on June 2024 by film historian Samuel Clemmens who has knowledge and has published books about classic Hollywood models and starlets. Saw her IMDb bio has a change saying according to her husband Daryl Jones, she passed away in Grass Valley, California. Since the changes have been made for a month, my opinion is that she may have died recently, if it's May-June she may receive an obituary from the Hollywood Reporter including her role as a girlfriend/lover of Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock (1957) If anyone finds something that I might have overlooked, let me know please. I contacted the media about this one as this would have been of interest to them given that she played a girlfriend of Elvis in a leading role. Anywayyyyys, turns out Jennifer Holden died in May 2022, aged 85, so no obit for her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or, more recently, hosting a terrible HGTV show that never lived up to its promises about actually finding and renovating the ugliest house in America (because they'd cost the network too much).

It’s easy to submit something. She died nearly 3 years ago now. What do you think DL Forums is? A dumping ground for IMDb update requests? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted October 1 Trefor Goronwy (wiki), English vocalist and bassist who played with This Heat (on their final European tour in 1982), as well as avant-prog group Camberwell Now, died back in February at some point as per This Heat's Facebook page here. Tried to find some biographical data for this guy's Wiki page. He's like a ghost. Despite some pics online (and his own FB profile), there's no birth details anywhere. Can't find him in the birth records, the Probate records etc. I assume Trefor Goronwy is a pseudonym. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,537 Posted October 1 Did you find his personal Facebook account? Gives some more information, that he was born in Northampton, and that his birthday was August 23rd. Going to guess that self-help author Lynda Field (nee Goronwy) was his sister, which also gives us his parents' names (Idwal and Barbara). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted October 1 Anyone know if Anne Wakefield is still with us? She's an actress born 1931; she had a few film and TV bit parts in the UK and later the US, playing William Hartnell's daughter in an episode of Ghost Squad and one of the nuns opposite Debbie Reynolds in The Singing Nun. Not likely to obit anywhere really. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
