I was absolutely sure that Bill Beaumont died about five years ago.
― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 8 September 2023 21:05 (two years ago)
He's only 71, he looked ancient in the late 80s. Guess that's what rugby does to you.
― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 8 September 2023 21:06 (two years ago)
hang on micheal yarwood has been alive until today !?
― mark e, Friday, 8 September 2023 21:32 (two years ago)
Yeah him too, seems like he wasn't on tv since the mid-80s.
― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 8 September 2023 21:35 (two years ago)
i cannot belive mike yarwood was still alive until today
― Ste, Friday, 8 September 2023 23:01 (two years ago)
I don't remember Mike Yarwood being on TV since about 1981, and assumed he had died in the '90s or 2000s.
There was an interesting interview with Herb Alpert, a mere 88, in the Guardian yesterday.https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/07/herb-alpert-on-80-years-in-music-mozart-thelonious-monk-all-of-us-have-the-same-12-notes (sorry, Guardian link)

Bill Rodgers, rather.Len Deighton, wow.
― Alba, Saturday, 16 September 2023 04:44 (two years ago)
His Wikipedia CV is quite something. Before he even got to the spy novels there was RAF, RCA, BOAC, an illustrated cookery column in the Observer and a spell as a book cover designer that included the first UK edition of On the Road.
― Alba, Saturday, 16 September 2023 04:50 (two years ago)
oh i thought of one of these last night
― mark s, Saturday, 16 September 2023 09:11 (two years ago)

he was in mind bcz i am evidently still salty abt kubrick's star wars movie topping that second poll
― mark s, Saturday, 16 September 2023 09:12 (two years ago)
anyway to return to nicer topics, the book that collects len deighton's cookery columns is also deighton-designed and is grebt
― mark s, Saturday, 16 September 2023 09:13 (two years ago)
i have it somewhere and yes
― whatever happened to gravy brain? (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 16 September 2023 09:15 (two years ago)
no way is von Däniken only 88, i suspect aliens
I was looking at my copy of Bomber by Len Deighton just the other day. It has a new introduction (2009) by Deighton where he states: "Bomber was the first fiction book written using what is now called a 'word processor'. In 1969 that name did not exist." I have no idea how true that is, or how you could verify such a claim, but I'm happy to go along with it!

Yes! Thanks mark

Just saw that Roger Whittaker died, 87. First, I had no idea he was still alive; and for some reason I assumed he was in his 70's back in the 1980's.
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Monday, 18 September 2023 18:58 (two years ago)
Oh no! Why wasn't that reported anywhere??!?!
― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Monday, 18 September 2023 19:05 (two years ago)
Oh right, it's just being reported, even though he died last week. Always kind of liked him tbh. A champion whistler if nothing else!

RIP Rog. Definitely my idea of what a folk singer was when I was a kid. Durham Town is a great song.

Pete Murray, by now a regular on this thread and still hanging in there at 98.

Amanda Lear, somewhere around 83
― an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 18:43 (two years ago)
Always impressed by the cloud of confusion around Amanda Lear’s origins, such as for example in wiki: Contested facts include her birth date and place, the gender she was assigned at birth, names and nationalities of her parents, and the location of her upbringing.
― Dr Drudge (Bob Six), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 18:50 (two years ago)
I am a big fan of her sister Shanda
I also think they make jet planes

Actress Barbara Rush, 96
― Josefa, Saturday, 30 September 2023 14:09 (two years ago)
Amanda was just on Drag Race France a couple of months back, kinda great!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 30 September 2023 14:23 (two years ago)
If you watched Peyton Place on TV in 1965-1966 you saw two regular cast members who are 95+ now, Barbara Rush and Lee Grant - who is 95, 96, or 97. Also you are old.
― Josefa, Saturday, 30 September 2023 14:50 (two years ago)
Lee Grant's hit the age where you impress people more by adding years rather than subtracting them. Not quite sure where the crossover point would have been though.

Credit where it's due, she looked "about 40" for a good 25 years
