people you thought were dead but aren't

Kenzaburō Ōe, 83 today

Andre Previn
Denis Norden

Yehuda Lerner

the 17 yr old emblematic hero of the Sobibor uprising is still alive, and a year younger than Lanzmann, who immortalised him in the classic Sobibor: 14th October 1943 documentary.

I'm just re-watching it tonight, it is a gripping watch, yet again. Yehuda had escaped from 8 Nazi camps and one major Nazi killing facility, in which he'd played a key role in it's famous inmate uprising, and helped murder a mid-level SS commander - all by the age of 17. I'd get some beers in for him.

Ken Nordine.

Good call, 98!

... also his wife is still alive, she is a relative spring chicken at 97, they've been married since 1945.

... oh no, scratch that, she died in 2016, aged 94 ;_;

Wow, 71 years together isn't bad going.

Sister Wendy Beckett

people who just died that you thought had died ages ago

(xp) She lasted three weeks.

tbf she didn't look like one of the nuns I had to deal with - in which I mean the type that would strike a kid's head with a wooden blackboard duster and probably think most 16th century art is perverted!

Leslie Phillips, 94!

ding dong

Scott Walker. Well, he is dead now, but I was surprised to read the news today about his passing, because for some reason I thought he had died a couple of years ago. Mandela effect?

You’re thinking of David Bowie

Scott Wilson died last year and I always confused them.

No, I'm sure I knew they were two different people.

Mondale may not be dead, but I'm sure Trump would mock him as "low energy".

88 is a very good innings for someone I presume was a bit of a caner.

my extended television universe is a bit unbalanced now at the idea of Artie not being here anymore :( wrong thread, but RIP Rip.
