Dying Off The Radar

I'm affraid to say that American child actress Edna May Wonacott (Wiki) has died off radar.

 

Unfortunately there is no record to verify her death there, but considering her profile (retired since 50s), it could be true. She was active 10 years ago through interviews as how the nine-year-old caught the eye of Alfred Hitchcock while he was in town checking out exterior locations and prepping to make his film Shadow of a Doubt (1943), while she was on a street corner with her two cousins waiting for a bus. Married Robert Green until his death in 2008, she lived her life in Yuma, AZ. Someone edited her Wiki, some hours ago, saying she died on June 26, 2022 at the age of 90 (and also says according to her son Tracy Green). I don't think it's vandalism, considering the autographs she signed very rarely in StarTiger (the last  autograph was given in 2021) and since then silence.

 

My question is, @tracy if you can see her familytree please, does Edna have a child named Tracy Green?

 

 

So it has been confirmed.

I asked them and they confirmed.

There is a forum post in Startiger that Jeannie Carson is dead. It said "Step daughter Gigi Maguire Leach got my letter to Jeannie passed on and advised me Jeannie died back in August 2022"

Her death seemingly also went unnoticed by the Broadway community, which is odd considering that she was in the original cast of a very infamous and racist musical decades ago.

@Octopus of Odstock, had a bit of spare time tonight so did the names on your Jimmy Stewart list who are over 85. Only found one death – Jacques Roux, in 2006. The five four in gold I can't be sure if they're alive or not – though I'm sure msc will know about Evans. All the rest are still with us!

Joyce Taylor – IMDb has this one all wrong. They say she married an Edward Bellison (it should say Bellinson). That's true, but they're not still married as it suggests. The records show she remarried, in 1972, to Richard Perry Hinnant (b. 1943). Her first marriage certificate indicates she was born in 1937, not 1932 as stated on IMDb. Both of them show up as living in Fort Collins, Colorado as of 2021. She goes by the name of Joyce Taylor Hinnant now. EDIT: Feb 2024 – IMDb now claiming she died in 2022?

 

Finally I solved this case

 

American actress Joyce Taylor (Wiki) who appeared during the Golden Age of Hollywood, indeed died, but not in 2022.

 

Fortunately, I found the email of another author who deals with the glamorous actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, he said that would help me.

 

Yesterday he wrote a message to her ex-husband from whom he received the reply (that Joyce had died on earlier this year in Fort Collins, Colorado, so January 2024) at the age of 85.

 

It was just a coincidence that I asked about her because I didn't knew it, she had died this year.

Good work both.

If it were me, personally I would introduce myself in the initial text but hey... it got the desired result.

Thanks OoO

 

But my contribution is not very appreciated and liked by some others here. No matter how hard I try, despite my busy life, to be very active and helpful even though I don't deal with "big" and "important" names. Unfortunately I don't want to continue with this and I don't want to post anymore even if I discover things. I'm sorry.

Oh I always get surprises when you post about someone.  I find your posts full of Gems and golden nuggets about people I forget about. I think you are a great contributor here

Well, even if you "don’t deal with big and important names", I think everyone (well at least me) can appreciate the efforts and work you put into finding deaths.

To me who’s relatively new on this forum, you’re an example (along with @Octopus of Odstock, @Ulitzer95, @arghton, @drol, @whoismakoto…)for how to "improve" like drol said.

Keep on the excellent work !

With the greatest respect possible, most people aren't going to be especially interested in obscure actors who had two credits in the 1970s. Your research is laudable and you must devote to it a lot of time (if the GRO cases I supply dates to you for is only a fraction, I can't imagine how long it must take you to collate all your cases) but if it's becoming a chore as opposed to a hobby then a break is probably sensible. People will always welcome you here.

Completely agree with this. I'm utterly unimportant around here, I do a few deadpools when I can devote the effort to it and make some lame jokes - that's it.

@GisoooYou put heaps of work in but in areas people like me have little interest in, obscure names to a lot of people and certainly me. So if I haven't thanked you it's only because the work you do isn't the sort of thing I can generally be arsed with, that doesn't mean it isn't extraordinarily useful to a bunch of folk hereabouts because it definitely is.

 

TL:DR You do work I wouldn't touch if you paid me. I make dumb jokes and annoy trolls. Both kinds make the world go around.

Nooooooooo, please reconsider this decision, you contribute enormously to this forum, your posts are greatly appreciated by the vast majority here, I can't imagine why anyone might not like them, your discoveries are invaluable to us
I really hope you continue to contribute here, we will miss you very much if that doesn't happen, don't pay attention to those who try to make you feel bad like that, their opinion is certainly not that of the majority, just look at the posts here in response to you, regretting your decision

[Imhotep 31]

@Gisooo I, too, have appreciated your diligent research. Please keep going in this forum. You contribute heaps.

Jeannie Carson’s death has been added to IMDB. 
 

Will she ever get an obituary?

Really shouldn’t have been added in the absence of a reliable source. This is why IMDb are useless – they’ll accept anything.

 

And no, she won’t get an obituary anywhere. 2 years have passed. THR are not interested. I tried them already.

Hearing that the 7th Earl Grey (wiki) died off radar in 2023. Somewhat unusual but perhaps the family didn't want to make it public.

 @Master Obit, can you please check this in the GRO for all the tea fans on here?

I guess that’s why this site says he "resigned" on 9 November 2023 !

Death of Joyce Taylor now added to IMDB.
